Thou Whose hand did lead
Thy chosen people
Through the desert
on their pilgrim way,
In Thy mercy grant us
now Thy blessing,
Jesus help us all to watch and pray.
Father, Thou art pure
and holy, holy,
May our hearts Thy temple be,
O, make us humble,
meek and lowly,
Poor in spirit, Savior,
more like Thee.
Give us water from
the sacred fountain,
While we journey in a thirsty land;
Strong in Thee no earthly
foe can harm us,
Thou our Rock on
which we firmly stand.
Father, Thou art pure
and holy, holy,
May our hearts Thy temple be,
O, make us humble,
meek and lowly,
Poor in spirit, Savior,
more like Thee.
Gentle Savior, Thou wilt
never leave us,
Still from danger
and from storm defend,
Sweet the promise
to Thy faithful children,
Thou wilt guide and
keep them to the end.
Father, Thou art pure
and holy, holy,
May our hearts Thy temple be,
O, make us humble,
meek and lowly,
Poor in spirit, Savior,
more like Thee.
Though we pass the
dark and rolling river,
Thou wilt bear us
safely to the shore;
We shall praise Thee
in the vales of Eden,
With the saints
and angels evermore.
Father, Thou art pure
and holy, holy,
May our hearts Thy temple be,
O, make us humble,
meek and lowly,
Poor in spirit, Savior,
more like Thee.
