Words

Jehovah, God, thy gracious powerOn every hand we see;O may the blessings of each hourLead all our thoughts to thee!

If on the wings of morn we speedTo earth's remotest bound.Thy hand will there our footsteps lead,Thy love our path surround.

How good thou art! how large thy grace!How ready to forgive!Thy mercies crown our fleeting days,And by thy love we live.

Thy power is in the ocean deeps,And reaches to the skies;Thine eye of mercy never sleeps,Thy goodness never dies.

From morn till noon—till latest eve,Thy hand, O God, we see;And all the blessings we receiveProceed alone from thee.
