MY FATHER'S CARE

 MY FATHER'S CARE 

BY MRS. J.M. HUNTER 

Fields all "bright with harvest gold, 
And meadows full of song". 
Tell me of my Father's care- 
His love so deep and strong.

Dewdrops flashing in the sun 

With rainbow hues of light, 

Teach me of the Artist's hand- 

His blest creative might.

Sunset with its ruddy glow 

And twilight's plaintive sigh,

Tell me life will soon be o'er 

And I must say good bye.

Words of tenderness so sweet 

Within the holy book 

Tell me of a home complete, 

To which I gladly look.

Ev'rywhere in letters bright 

The truth is written clear, 

A loving Father ruleth well, 

And I have naught to fear.

Only let me seek his will, 

And to his word be true, 

Then I ll reach a better world

 And brighter beauties view.
