God, that madest earth and heaven

From the power of evil hide us, In the narrow pathway guide us, Nor Thy smile be e'er denied us The livelong day. 3 Guard us waking, guard us sleeping, And when we die, May we in Thy mighty keeping All peaceful lie; When the last dread call shall wake us, Do not Thou, our God, forsake us, But to reign in glory take us With Thee on high.

And may there be no sadness of farewell When I embark; 4 For, though from out our bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar.
