Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-51 Hymnal: Together in Song #564 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O God of Bethel, by whose hand
your people still are fed,
who through this weary pilgrimage
have all our forebears led:
2 our vows, our prayers, we now present
before your throne of grace;
God of our people, be the God
of each succeeding race.
3 Through each perplexing path of life
our wandering footsteps guide;
give us each day our daily bread,
for all our needs provide.
4 O spread your covering wings around,
till all our wanderings cease,
and at our Father's loved abode
our souls arrive in peace. Topics: Anniversary of a Church; Covenant; Forebears; Heaven; Pilgrimage; Providence Scripture: 1 Kings 8:22-53 Languages: English Tune Title: SALZBURG
