Almighty Father of mankind!

On thee my hopes remain;

And when the day of trouble comes,

I shall not trust in vain.

2 In early years, thou wast my guide,

And of my youth the friend;

And, as my days began with thee,

With thee my days shall end.

3 I know the Power in whom I trust,

The arm on which I lean;

He will my Saviour ever be,

Who has my Saviour been.

4 Thou wilt not cast me off, when age

And evil days descend;

Thou wilt not leave me in despair,

To mourn my latter end.

5 Therefore, in life I’ll trust in thee;

In death I will adore;

And after death will sing thy praise,

When time shall be no more.
