Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751; John Logan, 1748-1788 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #491a (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 36:7 Lyrics: 1 O God of Bethel, by whose hand
thy people still are fed,
who through this weary pilgrimage
has all our forebears led.
2 Our vows, our prayers, we now present
before thy throne of grace;
God of our forebears, be the God
of their succeeding race.
3 Through each mysterious path of life
be thou our constant guide;
give us each day our daily bread,
and raiment fit provide.
4 O spread thy cov'ring wings around
till all our wanderings cease,
and at our Father's loved abode
our souls arrive in peace. Topics: All Saints; Grace and Providence; New Year and Anniversaries; The Pilgrim Community; Year A Epiphany 4; Year C Proper 12; Year C Proper 21; Year C Third Sunday Before Advent; Years A, B, and C Monday of Holy Week Languages: English Tune Title: MARTYRDOM
