DEAR HEAVENLY Father to thee we prayWith national fervour and deepest care.
For our earthly fathers on this their day;
Bestow unto them divine love to share
With family, friend, foe as it may seem
Endow them with due diligence for home
Make them captain of the family team
Devoted, strong, loyal, never to roam
Let their every action like a bright light
Shining example for offspring to see
Inspire them daily to work with their might
Make them agents of peace, we beseech Thee
We thank thee for good fathers of this land,
May they be an ever-increasing band.
Bertram G. Henry
