Verse 1
Father of mercies, hear our prayers
For those that do us good,
Whose love for us a place prepares,
And gives the orphans food.
Verse 2
Their alms in blessings on their head
A thousand-fold restore,
O feed their souls with living bread,
And let their cup run o’er.
Verse 3
Forever in thy Christ built up
Thy bounty let them prove,
Steadfast in faith, joyful thro’ hope,
And rooted deep in love.
Verse 4
For those who kindly founded this
A better house prepare,
Remove them to thy heavenly bliss,
And let us meet them there.
