Lyics

THY presence, everlasting God,

Wide o'er all nature spreads abroad;

Thy watchful eyes, which cannot sleep;

In every place thy children keep.



While near each other we remain,

Thou dost our lives and souls sustain;

When absent, happy if we share,

Thy smiles, thy counsels, and thy care.



To thee we all our ways commit,

And seek our comforts near thy feet;

Still on our souls vouchsafe to shine,

And guard, and guide us still as thine.



Give us, in thy beloved house,

Again to pay our thankful vows;

Or, if that joy no more be known,

Give us to meet around thy throne.
