Sheet music
- 1O God of Bethel, by whose handThy people still are fed,Who thru this weary pilgrim ageHast all our fathers led.Our vows, our prayers, we now presentBefore Thy throne of grace;God of our fathers, be the GodOf their succeeding race.
- 2Thu each perplexing path of lifeOur wand’ring footsteps guide;Give us each day our daily bread,And raiment fit provide.O spread Thy cov’ring wings around,Till all our wand’rings cease,And at our Father’s loved abodeOur souls arrive in peace.Amen.
