Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
Father, I will rev’rent be And in thy house walk quietly; Fold my arms and bow my head And close my eyes when prayers are said; Listen to the words I hear, For in thy house I feel thee near. May my thoughts more perfect be, That I may speak more rev’rently. Father, I will rev’rent be And in thy house walk quietly.
