Help Me Dear Father Lyrics
This song is published in the Children’s Songbook Page #99
You can find the Help Me Dear Father sheet music here.
Verse 1:
Help me, dear Father,
To freely forgive
All who may seem
Unkind to me.
Chorus:
Help me each day,
Father, I pray;
Help me live nearer,
Nearer to thee.
Verse 2:
Help me, dear Father,
To truly repent,
Making things right,
And changing my ways.
