1 Our thanks, O God, for fathers
Who follow in Thy way,
And who, with glad and trusting hearts,
Exalt Thee every day.
2 Our thanks, O God, for fathers
Who show, by word and deed,
Commitment to Thy will and plan,
And Thy commandments heed.
3 Our thanks, O God, for fathers
Who meet Thee oft in prayer,
And who, for all life's toil and care,
Find strength and wisdom there.
4 How blessed are the children
Who in their fathers see
The tender Father-love of God
And find their way to Thee.
