A Word From My Father

1 A word from my Father I need, day by day,
A word that will guide me on life’s chequered way;
A word that will help me when trials appear,
And shed thro’ the darkness the sunbeams of cheer.

Refrain:
A word from my Father today,
A word from my Father today;
A word from my Father will brighten the way;
Oh, help me, dear Savior, to heed and obey.

2 A word from my Father, in morning’s still hour;
For life’s waiting duties to gird me with pow’r;
A word when the shadows of evening draw nigh,
To bear me the comfort that breathes from on high. [Refrain]

3 A word from my Father! it hushes my fears,
And gives me a rainbow amid falling tear;
It leads me to vict’ry, when foes ‘round me throng,
And tells me of mansions of beauty and song. [Refrain]
