O God of Bethel, by whose hand
thy people still are fed,
who through this weary pilgrimage
hast all our fathers led,
Through each perplexing path of life
our wandering footsteps guide;
give us each day our daily bread,
and raiment fit provide.
Such blessings from thy gracious hand
our humble prayers implore,
and thou shalt be our chosen God
and portion evermore.
