Tune: TRAVELLER'S MORNING HYMN
Published in 1 hymnal


Representative Text

1 Father of all! Creator blest--
Thy mercies never end;
Thou givest the weary traveller rest:
Thou art the pilgrim's friend.

2 I rise, and onward urge my way,
To Canaan's peaceful land;
Be thou around me day by day,
And guide me with thy hand.

3 By thee protected and sustained,
I have through dangers pass'd:
Oh may I, when my wanderings end,
Behold thy face at last.
