Father, we praise thee by Anonymous — Lyrics
Father, we praise thee, now the night is over,
active and watchful, stand we all before thee;
singing we offer, prayer and meditation:
thus we adore thee.
Monarch of all things, fit us for thy mansions;
banish our weakness, health and wholeness sending;

About Father, we praise thee
This hymn, with words of profound devotion, opens with a prayer of thanks for the passing of night and a petition for strength and wholeness. The text expresses a desire to be fit for God's heavenly kingdom, seeking an end to weakness and a joy that is unending. The final stanza offers adoration to the Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Spirit, acknowledging God's glory throughout creation. Written for unison voices in English, this sacred piece is a powerful expression of faith and a call to divine salvation. Its simple yet moving melody makes it a suitable choice for congregational singing or as a devotional anthem.
