OUR PARENT BY WHOSE NAME
Lyrics by F. Bland Tucker, 1939; music by Nancy Rexford
Our Parent, by whose name all parenthood is known,
who in your love proclaim each family your own,
Direct all parents, guarding well,
With constant love as sentinel,
the homes in which your your people dwell.O Jesus, who, a child within an earthly home,
With heart still undefiled did to adulthood come,
Our children bless in every place
That they may all behold your face
And knowing you may grow in grace.Blest Spirit, who can bind our hearts in unity
And teach us so to find the love from self set free,
In all our hearts, such love increase
That every home, by this release,
May be the dwelling place of peace.
