O God of Abraham! by whose hand <br />Thy people still are fed; <br />Who, through this weary pilgrimage, <br />Hast all our fathers led! <br /> <br />Our vows, our prayers, we now present <br />Before thy throne of grace; <br />God of our fathers, be the God <br />Of their succeeding race. <br /> <br />Through each perplexing path of life <br />Our wandering footsteps guide, <br />Give us by day our daily bread, <br />And raiment fit provide. <br /> <br />O spread thy covering wings around, <br />Till all our wanderings cease, <br />And at our Father's loved abode <br />Our feet arrive in peace. <br /> <br />Now with the humble voice of prayer <br />Thy mercy we implore; <br />Then with the grateful voice of praise <br />Thy goodness we'll adore.<br /><br />John Logan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-prayer-of-jacob/
