Holy Father, We Adore Thee

Author: E. F. Stewart Hymnal: Consecrated Hymns #58 (1902) Lyrics: 1 Holy Father, we adore Thee, And all honor to Thee give, For the blessings, without number, Freely granted while we live. In our youthful days Thy mercy Like a river calmly flows, And in riper years ne’er failing AS the solace of our woes. 2 Holy Father, Thou didst love us, E’en while wand’ring far from Thee; And didst send the blessed Saviour, For a sacrifice to be. In a manger low they laid Him, ‘Mid the beasts within the stall; Angels guarding the Redeemer, Who salvation brought to all. 3 Holy Father, send Thy Spirit Into ev’ry waiting heart; And let all receive with favor What will prove the better part. While to Thee, with tuneful voices, Sweetest praises we will sing, Heav’n and earth, in one grand chorus, Loudest hallelujahs ring.

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Holy Father, we adore Thee" in Hymnal Companion to the Prayer Book with Accompanying Tunes (Second Edition) In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
