1481. Father of Light, We Sing in Thy Praise

1. Father of Light, we sing in Thy praise,
Father of Light, we sing in Thy praise.

Joyfully now, our voices we raise.
May Thy peace come down from above,
May Thy peace come from above.
Fill our hearts with Thy great love.
Fill our hearts with Thy great love.
