281. God of our salvation, hear us

1 God of our salvation, hear us;
Bless, O, bless us, ere we go;
When we join the world, be near us,
Lest we cold and careless grow.

2 May we live in view of heaven,
Where we hope to see thy face;
Let thy Spirit's light be given,
All our hidden paths to trace.

3 As our steps are drawing nearer
To the place we call our home,
May our view of heaven grow clearer,
Hope more bright of joys to come.
