For the Fatherless Children
From Hymns of Intercession for All Mankind (1758) · Osborn ed., vol. 6 (1870)
History & Politics
Relieve whoe'er Thy succour need,
A Father to the orphans be.
Who dost the hungry ravens feed,
Provide for all that cry to Thee,
The poor and fatherless defend.
Their sure, their everlasting Friend.
