Hymn for Absent Friends
The following hymn, frequently played at the close of Aunt Daisy’s Morning Session, is published in answer to numerous requests that we print the words so that women listeners may join in the singing: Holy Father, in Thy Mercy Hear our anxious prayer, Keep our loved ones, now far absent, ’"Neath Thy Care. Jesus, Saviour, let Thy Presence Be their light and guide, Keep, oh, keep them, in their weakness At Thy Side. When in sorrow, when in danger, When in loneliness, In Thy love look down and ¢omfort Their distress. May the joy of Thy salvation Be their strength and stay, May they love and may they praise Thee Day by day. Holy Spirit, let Thy teaching Sanctify their life; Send Thy grace, that they may conquer In the strife. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, God the One in Three, Bless them; guide them, save them, keep them Near to Thee. . Amen. (Words by Isabel S. Stephenson ) (Tune 595 A.&M. "Cairnbrook," by E. Prout)
