Nought Can Destroy Father, My Joy

Father, my joy,
nought can destroy.

Unveil my path, may my heart shine
bright, despite the darkness of day.
Consume me, may love guide my way,
so all troubles, become benign.

Bright despite the darkness of day,
my gifts, oh gracious Lord, refine.
My thoughts and mindset realign,
consume me, may love guide my way.

Father, my joy,
bright despite the darkness of day.
Such tender mercies, each divine
consume me, your love guide my way;
nought can destroy.

Nought can destroy
Father, my joy.
