507 ~ O God, Beneath Thy Guiding Hand
1
O God, beneath Thy guiding hand Our exiled fathers crossed the sea; And when they trod the wintry strand, With prayer and psalm they worshiped Thee.
2
Thou heardest, well pleased, the song, the prayer; Thy blessing came; and still its power Shall onward, through all ages, bear The memory of that holy hour.
3
Laws, freedom, truth, and faith in God Came with those exiles o'er the waves; And, where their pilgrim feet have trod, The God they trusted guards their graves.
4
And here Thy Name, o God of love, Their children's children shall adore, Till these eternal hills remove, And spring adorns the earth no more.
