Father, Let Thy Smiling Face HAVEN—Edwin H. Lemare Father, Let Thy Smiling Face 1 Father, let Thy smiling face here within this holy place, Sweetly shining on my heart, Bid all sinful thoughts depart. 2 Jesus, Thou whose ceaseless love Interceded for us above, Bend to me Thy listening ear, Make my wayward heart sincere. 3 Comforter of all the saints, Gently heal my soul’s complaints; May a foretaste now be given Of the Sabbath day of heaven.
