Hymnal: Christian Hymns #84 (1898) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O God of Bethel, by whose hand
Thy people still are fed;
Who through this weary pilgrimage
Hast all our fathers led:
2 Our vows, our prayers, we now present
Before Thy throne of grace:
God of our fathers, be the God
Of their succeeding race.
3 Through each perplexing path of life
Our wandering footsteps guide;
Give us each day our daily bread,
And raiment fit provide.
4 Oh, spread Thy covering wings around,
Till all our wanderings cease,
And, at our Father’s loved abode,
Our souls arrive in peace!
5 Such blessings from Thy gracious hand
Our humble prayers implore;
And Thou shalt be our chosen God,
Our portion evermore. Topics: God the Father Providence of; Guidance, prayed for; Life a pilgrimage; Prayer General Petition; Protection, prayed for Languages: English Tune Title: DUNDEE
