Author: P. Doddridge Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #417a (1894) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O God of Bethel, by Whose hand
Thy people still are fed;
Who thro' this weary pilgrimage
Hast all our fathers led!
2 Our vows, our prayers, we now present
Before Thy throne of grace:
God of our fathers, be the God
Of their succeeding race.
3 Through each perplexing path of life
Our wandering footsteps guide;
Give us each day our daily bread,
And raiment fit provide.
4 Oh, spread Thy sheltering wings around,
Till all our wanderings cease,
And at our Father’s loved abode
Our souls arrive in peace!
5 Such blessings from Thy gracious hand
Our humble prayers implore;
And Thou shalt be our chosen God,
Our portion evermore.
Amen. Topics: The Old Year; Guidance; Protection Languages: English Tune Title: [O God of Bethel, by Whose hand]
