Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

x2

Father, Father come to me now

 for I am needy of your mercy

Holy mercies firm and sure

 from eternity the same

 to eternity endure, endure

Let the ransom now rejoice

 the ones called out among the nations

 now the people of his choice

Sing of his name

 all expanse of land and sea

 all that swim and all that breathe

His glory's painted

 on the branches of the trees

 in the changing of the leaves

Let the elders speak his name

 let us hear the ancient tales

 let us mourn for how we've failed

Let the children now rejoice

 when it falls upon their ears

 the proclamations of God's voice

As long as life beats in these shells

 keep your words upon our lips

 and living water in our wells, yeah

Our hands are raised

 calling out to be redeemed

 from certain death's eternity

Give us new names

 keep us ever close to thee

 once enslaved and now made free, yeah
