O My Father Songtext
von Fiddlesticks

O my Father, Thou that dwellest
In the high and glorious place
When shall I regain Thy presence
And again behold Thy face?
In Thy holy habitation
Did my spirit once reside
In my first primeval childhood
Was I nurtured near Thy side


I had learned to call Thee Father
Through Thy Spirit from on high
But until the key of knowledge
Was restored I knew not why

In the heavens our parents singler
Now the thought makes reason stare
Truth is reason, truth eternal
Tells me of a mother there

When I leave this frail existence
When I lay this mortal by
Father, Mother, may I meet you
In the royal courts on high?


Then at length when I′ve completed
All You sent me forth to do
With Your mutual approbation
May I come and dwell with You
