O God of Bethel Phillip Doddridge (1702-1751)

MARTYRDOM (C.M.) Hugh Wilson (1766-1824)

O God of Beth-el, by whose hand
   Thy peo-ple still are fed,
Who through this wea-ry pil-grim-age
   Hast all our fa-thers led;

Our vows, our prayers, we now pre-sent
   Be-fore Thy throne of grace;
God of our fa-thers, be the God
   Of their suc-ceed-ing race.

Through each per-plex-ing path of life
   Our wan-dering foot-steps guide;
Give us each day our dai-ly bread,
   And rai-ment fit pro-vide.

O spread Thy cov-ering wings a-round,
   'Til all our wan-derings cease,
And at our Fa-ther's loved a-bode
   Our souls ar-rive in peace.
