A meek, obedient child to thee;
And try, in every deed and thought,
To serve and please thee as I ought.
3Art thou my Father?--I'll depend
Upon the care of such a friend;
And only wish to do and be
Whatever seemeth good to thee.
4Art thou my Father?--Then, at last,
When all my days on earth are past,
Send down and take me, in thy love,
