O My Father chords by Lds Hymns

G                      D
v.1 O my Father, thou that dwellest
v.2 For a wise and glorious purpose
v.3 I had learned to call thee Father,
v.4 When I leave htis frail existence,
       D7                G
In the high and glorious place,
Thou hast placed me here on earth
Thru thy Spirit from on high,
When I lay this mortal by,
                        D
When shall I regain thy presence
And witheld the recollection
But, until the key of knowledge
Father, Mother, may I meet you
    D7               G
And again behold thy face?
Of my former friends and birth;
Was restored, I knew not why.
In your royal courts on high?
       C              G
In thy holy habitation,
Yet ofttimes a secret something
In the heav'ns are parents single?
Then, at length, when I've completed
       D7          G
Did my spirit once reside?
Whispered, "you're a stranger here,"
No, the thought makes reason stare!
All you sent me forth to do,
      C              G
In my first primeval childhood
And I felt that I had wandered
Truth is reason; truth eternal
With your mutual approbation
      D                 G
Was I nurtured near thy side?
From a more exalted sphere.
Tells me I've a mother there.
Let me come and dwell with you.
