Almighty Father, on this day
For fathers set aside,
Show me the path that I may lead
The ones I’m meant to guide.
Grant me the wisdom to advise—
To teach them right from wrong—
To help them find those basic worths
Which set apart the strong.
Make me a good and loving dad,
Consistent, patient, just.
Keep ever foremost in my mind
Those ones I hold in trust.
This one reward I ask from them,
And pray that it may be:
That they shall love their fathers well,
Both Thee, Dear Lord, and me.
