Hymnal: Hymns Adapted to Public Worship or Family Devotion #336 (1818) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Almighty God, we cry to thee Lyrics: 1. Almighty God, we cry to thee:From Egypt's bondage set us free,And lead us through the wilderness,To Canaan's land, the land of peace2. Be thou our guard by night and dayAmidst the dangers of the way;Let heavenly manna crown our board,The flinty rock its streams afford.3. May we obey thy righteous laws,Defend thy truth, maintain thy causeAnd show in thought, in word and deedThat we are Abraham's chosen seed.4. Then shall the Lord delight to bless,And grant us his divine increase;Shall lead us to the land above,Where we shall feast upon his love. Languages: English
