Father and Friend, Thy Light by John Bowring Ps 148:13 HESPERUS—Henry Williams Baker Father and Friend, Thy Light (or Father and Friend, Thy Light, Thy Love) 1 Father and Friend, Thy light, Thy love, Beaming through all Thy works we see; Thy glory gilds the heav’ns above, And all the earth is full of Thee. 2 Thy voice we hear, Thy presence feel, While Thou, too pure for mortal sight, Enwrapt in clouds, invisible, Reignest the Lord of life and light. 3 Thy children shall not faint nor fear,
