O God of Bethel, by whose hand

1) O God of Bethel, by whose hand
thy people still are fed,
who through 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) O spread thy covering wings around
till all our wanderings cease,
and at our Father's loved abode
our souls arrive in peace.
