343. Father Almighty, Bless Us with Thy Blessing

1 Father Almighty, bless us with Thy blessing;
Answer in love Thy children’s supplication;
Hear Thou our prayer, the spoken and unspoken;
Hear us, our Father.

2 Shepherd of souls, who bringest all who seek Thee
To pastures green, beside the peaceful waters;
Tenderest guide, in ways of cheerful duty,
Lead us, good Shepherd.

3 Father of mercy, from Thy watch and keeping
No place can part, nor hour of time remove us;
Give us Thy good, and save us from our evil;
Infinite Spirit!

Amen.
