Lyics

JEHOVAH, God, thy gracious power

On every hand we see;

O may the blessings of each hour

Lead all our thoughts to thee.



If on the wings of morn we speed

To earth's remotest bound,

Thy hand will there our footsteps lead,

Thy love our path surround.



Thy power is in the ocean deeps,

And reaches to the skies;

Thine eye of mercy never sleeps,

Thy goodness never dies.



From morn till noon, till latest eve,

Thy hand, O God we see;

And all the blessings we receive

Proceed alone from thee.



In all the varying scenes of time,

On thee our hopes depend;

Through every age, in every clime,

Our Father, and our Friend.
