God of our fathers! by whose hand
Thy people still are blest,
Be with us through our pilgrimage,
Conduct us to our rest.
Through each perplexing path of life
Our wandering footsteps guide;
Give us each day our daily bread,
And raiment fit provide.
O, spread Thy sheltering wings around,
Till all our wanderings cease,
And at our Fathers loved abode
Our souls arrive in peace.
To Thee, our Father and our God,
We our whole souls resign;
And thankful own, that all we are
And all we have is Thine.


A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) #68
1 God of our fathers, by Whose hand
Thy people still are blest,
Be with us thro’ our pilgrimage;
Conduct us to our rest.

2 Thro’ each perplexing path of life
Our wand’ring footsteps guide;
Give us each day our daily bread,
And raiment fit provide.

3 O spread Thy shelt’ring wings around,
Till all our wand’rings cease,
And at our Father’s lov’d abode
Our souls arrive in peace.

4 Such blessings from Thy gracious hand
Our humble pray’rs implore;
And Thou, the Lord, shalt be our God,
And portion evermore.
