Primary Scripture: Genesis 9:9

Verse 1

O God of Bethel, by whose hand thy people still are fed, who through this weary pilgrimage hast all our fathers led;

Verse 2

Our vows, our prayers, we now present before thy throne of grace; God of our fathers, be the God of their succeeding race.

Verse 3

O spread thy covering wings around till all our wanderings cease, and at our Father's loved abode our souls arrive in peace.
