Text:Lord God, omnipotent to bless

CCCLXXXII. Lord God, omnipotent to bless

1 Lord God, omnipotent to bless,
My supplication hear;
Guardian of Jacob, to my voice
Incline thy gracious ear.

2 If I have never yet begun
To tread the sacred road,
O teach my wandering feet the way
To Zion's blest abode!

3 Or if I'm travelling in the path,
Assist me with thy strength,
And let me swift advances make,
And reach thine heaven at length.

4 My care, my hope, my first request,
Are all compris'd in this,
To follow where thy saints have led,
And then partake their bliss.
