17. Our Father God, Thy Name We Praise

1 Our Father God, Thy name we praise, To Thee our hymns addressing, And joyfully our voices raise Thy faithfulness confessing: Assembled by Thy grace, O Lord, We seek fresh guidance from Thy Word; Now grant anew Thy blessing. 2 Touch, Lord, the lips that speak for Thee; Set words of truth before us, That we may grow in constancy, The light of wisdom o'er us. Give us this day our daily bread; May hungry souls again be fed; My heav'nly food restore us. 3 Lord, make Thy pilgrim people wise, The gospel message knowing, That we may walk with lightened eyes In grace and goodness growing. The righteous must Thy precepts heed; Thy Word alone supplies their need, From heav'n their succor flowing. 4 As with our brethren here we meet, Thy grace alone can feed us, As here we gather at Thy feet We pray that Thou wilt heed us. The pow'r is Thine, O Lord divine, The kingdom and the rule are Thine. May Jesus Christ still lead us!
