Hymn 177
O God of Bethel, by whose hand
Meter: C.M.
Scripture: Gen. 28:21
1
O God of Bethel, by whose hand
Thy people still are fed;
Who through this weary pilgrimage
Hast all our fathers led
2
Our vows our pray'rs 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 wand’ring footsteps guide
Give us each day our daily bread:
And raiment fit provide
4
O spread Thy cov’ring wings around,
Till all our wand’rings cease,
And at our Father’s lov'd abode
Our souls arrive in peace.
5
Such blessings from Thy gracious hand
Our humble pray’rs implore;
And Thou shall be our chosen God,
And portion evermore.
