Lord, Behold Us with Thy Blessing

 

VERSE 1

Lord, behold us with Thy blessing

Once again assembled here;

Onward be our footsteps pressing

In Thy love, and faith, and fear;

Still protect us

By Thy presence ever near.

 

VERSE 2

For Thy mercy we adore Thee,

For this rest upon our way;

Lord, again we bow before Thee,

Speed our labors day by day;

Mind and spirit

With Thy choicest gifts array.

 

VERSE 3

Keep the spell of home affection

Still alive in every heart;

May its power, with mild direction,

Draw our love from self apart,

Till Thy children

Feel that Thou their Father art.

 

VERSE 4

Break temptation’s fatal power,

Shielding all with guardian care,

Safe in every careless hour,

Safe from sloth and sensual snare;

Thou, our Savior,

Still our failing strength repair.
