Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #453 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship First Line: Thy presence, everlasting God! Lyrics: 1 Thy presence, everlasting God!
Wide through all nature spreads abroad:
Thy watchful eyes, which never sleep,
In ev'ry place thy children keep.
2 While near each other we remain,
Thou dost our lives and powers sustain;
When sep'rate, we rejoice to share
Thy counsels and thy gracious care.
3 To thee we now commit our ways,
And still implore thy heavenly grace;
Still cause thy face on us to shine,
And guard and guide us still as thine.
4 Give us, in thy beloved house,
Again to pay our grateful vows;
Or, if that joy no more be known,
Give us to meet around thy throne. Topics: Dismissions and Doxologies Dismissions Languages: English
