With heavenly power, O Lord, defend
Him whom we now to thee commend;
His person bless, his soul secure,
And make him to the end endure.
Gird him with all sufficient grace;
Direct his feet in paths of peace:
Thy truth and faithfulness fulfil,
And help him to obey thy will.
Before him thy protection send,
0 love him, save him to the end;
Nor let him, as thy pilgrim rove
Without the convoy of thy love.
Enlarge, inflame, and fill his heart;
In him thy mighty power exert;
That thousands yet unborn may praise
The wonders of redeeming grace.
---Alternative verses---
With heavenly power, O Lord, defend
Him whom we now to thee commend;
Thy faithful messenger secure,
And make him to the end endure.
Gird him with all sufficient grace;
Direct his feet in paths of peace:
Thy truth and faithfulness fulfil,
And arm him to obey thy will.
