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.:|
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.:|
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.:|
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.:|
