O my God, I fear thee;
Thou art very high,
Yet to us, thy children,
Thou art always nigh,
Far removed from mortal sight
Dwelling in eternal light.

O my God, I fear Thee!
Yet I come in pray'r,
For my Saviour tells me
I need not despair
tells me of a Father's love,
And a home prepared above.

Never earthly father
Loveth like to Thee,
Thou dost guide and pardon
Guilty ones like me,
Sending down Thy Holy Son,
That all sinners might be won.

O my God, I fear Thee,
Holy, just, and true
But, my Heav’nly Father,
I will love Thee too
guide me till this life be past,
take me to thyself at last.
