Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #268 (2005) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) Lyrics: 1 O God of Bethel! by whose hand
thy people still are fed,
who through this earthly 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.
5 Such blessings from thy gracious hand
our humble prayers implore;
and thou shalt be our chosen God,
and portion evermore. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in intercession and petition; Our Response to God in intercession and petition; Church unity and ecumenism; God Protection of; Pilgrimage Scripture: Genesis 28:20-22 Languages: English Tune Title: SALZBURG (HAYDN)
