At Thy Feet, Our God and Father
James Drummond Burns (1861) • English
Primary Scripture: Deuteronomy 33:25
Verse 1
At Thy feet, our God and Father, Who hast blessed us all our days, We with grateful hearts would gather To begin this hour with praise: Praise for light so brightly shining On our steps from heaven above; Praise for mercies daily twining Round us golden cords of love.
Verse 2
Jesus, for Thy love most tender On the cross for sinners shown, We would praise Thee and surrender All our hearts to be Thine own. With so blest a Friend provided, We upon our way would go, Sure of being safely guided, Guarded well from every foe.
Verse 3
Every day will be the brighter When Thy gracious face we see; Every burden will be lighter When we know it comes from Thee. Spread Thy love’s broad banner o’er us; Give us strength to serve and wait, Till Thy glory breaks before us Thro' the city’s open gate. AMEN.
