Main message: Always put "glorify Thy Name" as the goal of our lives.

Bible references:

• V1. "Father" (Matthew 26:39)

"Glorify Thy Name" (John 12:28)

• V3. "the cross" (Matthew 27:22)

"Shrouding heart and home" (Luke 18:29)

"Pray on" (Matthew 26:39-44)

• V4. "joys" (John 15:11)

Keywords: Father, dedicate, glorify Thy Name, joys, sings

Interpretation notes:

• The hymn uses many disjunct melodic leaps. 

• A G natural in measure 7 suggests a secondary dominant or other chromatic harmonic coloration. 

• In the final system, the melody ascends in scale-like motion, and the highest notes are set to 'glorify Thy Name.'
