Holy Father, cheer our way by Walter Parratt — Lyrics
1 Holy Father, cheer our way
with Your love’s perpetual ray;
grant us every closing day
light at evening time.
2 Holy Saviour, calm our fears
when earth’s brightness disappears;
grant us in our latter years
light at evening time.

About Holy Father, cheer our way
The composer Walter Parratt crafts a warm and comforting SATB setting for this English hymn text. The four stanzas offer a progression of petitions to the Trinity for guidance and peace, beginning with the Father and moving through the Son and Spirit to the ultimate assurance of eternal light with God. Parratt's music reflects the devotional nature of the text, providing a sense of unwavering support and solace as the hymn unfolds. It is suitable for services or occasions where reflection on faith, guidance, and the promise of peace is appropriate, with the voices blending to create a unified message of hope.
