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 Thy servants led,
2. Our vows, our prayers, we now present
Before Thy throne of grace;
God of past ages, be the God
Of each 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 God's beloved abode
Our souls arrive in peace.
