The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal ‎#41

41. At Thy Feet, Our God and Father

1 At Thy feet, our God and Father,
Who hast blessed us all our days,
We with grateful hearts would gather
To begin this hour with praise:
Praise for light so brightly shining
On our steps from heaven above;
Praise for mercies daily twining
Round us golden cords of love.

2 Jesus, for Thy love most tender
On the cross for sinners shown,
We would praise Thee and surrender
All our hearts to be Thine own.
With so blest a Friend provided,
We upon our way would go,
Sure of being safely guided,
Guarded well from every foe.

3 Every day will be the brighter
When Thy gracious face we see;
Every burden will be lighter
When we know it comes from Thee.
Spread Thy love’s broad banner o’er us;
Give us strength to serve and wait,
Till Thy glory breaks before us
Thro' the city’s open gate.

AMEN.
