Author: Doddridge Hymnal: Church Book #91 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O God of Jacob, by whose hand
Thy people still are fed;
Who, through this weary pilgrimage,
Hast all our fathers led!
2 To Thee our humble vows we raise,
To Thee address our prayer;
And in Thy kind and faithful breast
Deposit all our care.
3 Through each perplexing path of life
Our wandering footsteps guide;
Give us by day our daily bread,
And raiment fit provide.
4 O spread thy covering wings around,
Till all our wanderings cease;
And at our fathers' loved abode
Our souls arrive in peace.
5 To Thee, as to our covenant God,
We'll our whole selves resign;
And thankful own, that all we are,
And all we have, is Thine. Topics: Providence; Circumcision; Name of Christ; New Years Day; Epiphany, Second Sunday; Lent, Fourth Sunday; First Sunday after Trinity; Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: IRISH
