O God of Jacob, by whose hand Your people still are fed, Who through this weary pilgrimage A wav’ring Israel led:

Verse 2

Our vows, our prayers, we now present Before Your throne of grace. O God of Jacob, be the God Of their succeeding race.

Oh, grant us Your protecting care Till all our wand’rings cease, That to those mansions kept for us We all may come in peace.
