“Father, They Are Yours” is a meditative Communion hymn inspired by Christ’s high priestly prayer (John 17). In this sacred moment, we hear Jesus lift His eyes to the Father and entrust us completely into divine love. The verses invite us to stand within that prayer — to hear ourselves named, protected, and consecrated.
The refrain becomes our response of trust:
Father, they are Yours… receive us in Your grace.
With a gentle, flowing melody and warm harmonic color, this hymn is ideal for Communion, Holy Thursday, the Easter season, parish missions, and any liturgy centered on unity in Christ.
A quiet reminder that we belong to Heaven… that no soul is forgotten… and that in this cup of mercy, we find our shelter in the risen Lord.

I am searching for a hymn sung on line in Canada - when I am confined to home and watch mass. I am a piano player for many years and would like to find the musical score.
I have written and recorded about 70 songs over the last two decades. I would like to share them with a larger audience. Thank you and God bless your work Ron St Martin
