260. Thy presence, ever-living God

1 Thy presence, ever-living God,
Wide through all nature spreads abroad;
Thy watchful eyes, which never sleep,
In every place thy children keep.

2 To thee we now commit our ways,
And still implore thy heavenly grace;
Still cause thy face on us to shine,
And guard and guide us still as thine.

3 Give us within thy house to raise
Again united songs of praise;
Or if that joy no more be known,
Give us to meet around thy throne.
