Thy presence, ever-living God
1
Thy presence, ever-living God,Wide through all nature spreads abroad;Thy watchful eyes, which never sleep,In every place thy children keep.
2
To thee we now commit our ways,And still implore thy heavenly grace;Still cause thy face on us to shine,And guard and guide us still as thine.
3
Give us within thy house to raiseAgain united songs of praise;Or if that joy no more be known,Give us to meet around thy throne.
