Father and child

Oh god, my heavenly father
I stand near your feet with folded arms
With bowed head and tearful eyes
Full of repentance and great fear.

Oh god, you are almighty;mountains-
Tremble at your sight and oceans flee
Thunder, lightning, and storm
Wait for your orders to sweep
All that stand against thee

I fathom oh lord, you are a god of love
More merciful than frightful,
More helping than rebuking
More caring and more loving.

Father, I lay my trust in you
For I am your child, where I go elsewhere
Wash all dirt and clean me
Wrap me in your prescious robe
And keep me in your lap ever and ever.

Hugg me to your bossom oh lord,
Closer and closest to your chest
Rebellious is the nature of every human soul
I fear, my father, I may fall again.

The Lighted Lantern

"Build thy castle on a mount and
Let its architecture be shown to all
Light your candle place it on a stick
For light is to be illuminated and
Not to be suppressed under a bushel"

All this was His command from above
Celestial, mundane or what it be
Is true and true everywhere

We light this candle oh! Lord
In thy name and faith to behold
Wind! we see mightier outside
Yet we light it, oh! Lord, in thy name

Night, storm, shower so severe
Feeble is our flame to resist and glow
Yet we feareth not a little, Oh! Lord
For we see the wings of thy angel around

Coal makes not its presence in night
Coke never shows its presence in darkness
But a glowworm light is more enough
To make its way in heavy night

We light this lantern of service
And place it amidst kindling stuffs
Kindle, Oh! Lord, kindle every dormant stuff
For thy light is needed everywhere!
