HYMN 141.

O God of Bethel! by whose hand
Thy people still are fed;
Who through their weary pilgrimage
Hast all our fathers led;

Our vows, our prayers we now present
Before Thy throne of grace;
God of our Fathers, be the God
Of each succeeding race.

Through this perplexing path of life
Our 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 lov'd abode
Our souls arrive in peace.
