'Father! glorify Thy name,'
Whatsoe'er our portion be;
Wheresoever led by Thee,
If to glory-if to shame-
'Father! glorify Thy name.'
Let Thy name be glorified!
If in doubt and darkness lost,
Hope deceived, and purpose crost,
Nought amiss can e'er betide-
Let Thy name be glorified!
'Father! glorify Thy name;'
Vain and blind our wishes are:
This can be no idle prayer,
This can be no worthless claim,
'Father! glorify Thy name.'
