- O God of Bethel, by whose hand
Thy people still are fed;
Who through this earthly pilgrimage
Hast all our fathers led:
- Our vows, our prayers, we now present
Before Thy Throne of grace:
O God of Israel, be the God
Of their succeeding race.
- Through each perplexing path of life
Our wandering footsteps guide;
Give us each day our daily bread,
And raiment fit provide.
- O spread Thy covering wings around,
Till all our wanderings cease,
And at our Father's loved abode
Our souls arrive in peace!
- Such blessings from Thy gracious hand
Our humble prayers implore;
And thou shalt be our covenant God
And portion evermore. Amen.
