1 At thy feet, our God and father
Who hast blessed us all our days,
We with grateful hearts would gather
To begin the day with praise;
Praise for light so brightly shining
On our steps from heaven above;
Praise for mercies daily twining
Round us golden cords of love.

2 Jesus for thy love most tender
On the cross for sinners shown,
We would praise thee and surrender
All our hearts to be thine own.
With so blest a friend provided,
We upon our way should go;
Sure of being safely guided,
Guarded well from every foe.

3 Every day will be the brighter,
When thy gracious face we see;
Every burden will be lighter
When we know it comes from thee.
Spread thy love's broad banner o'er us,
Give us strength to serve and wait,
Till thy glory breaks before us
Through the city's open 'gate.
Amen
