O God of Jacob by Whose Hand { O God of Jacob by Whose Hand EVAN-William Henry Havergal ST. PETER-Alexander R. Reinagle O God of Jacob, by Whose Hand } O God of Jacob, by Whose hand Thy people still are fed, Who through this weary pilgrimage Hast all our fathers led; Our vows, our prayers, we now present Before Thy Throne of grace; God of our fathers, be the God Of their succeeding race. Through each perplexing path of life Our wandering footsteps guide; Give us each day our daily bread, And raiment fit provide. O spread Thy covering wings around, Till all our wanderings cease, And at our Father's loved abode Our souls arrive in peace.
