"O God of Jacob, by Whose Hand" by Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751, st. 1-4 by John Logan, 1748-1788, st. 5 Text From: THE LUTHERAN HYMNAL (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1941) 1. O God of Jacob, by whose hand Thy people still are fed; Who through this weary pilgrimage Hast all our fathers led, 2. Our vows, our prayers, we now present Before Thy throne of grace; God of our fathers, be the God Of their succeeding race. 3. Through each perplexing path of life Our wandering footsteps guide; Give us each day our daily bread And raiment fit provide. 4. Oh, spread Thy covering wings around Till all our wanderings cease And at our Father's loved abode Our souls arrive in peace. 5. Now with the humble voice of prayer Thy mercy we implore; Then with a grateful voice of praise Thy goodness we'll adore. _______________________________________ Notes: Hymn #434 from _The Lutheran Hymnal_ Text: Genesis 28:20-22 Author: Philip Doddridge, 1737, st. 1-4, Recast by: John Logan, 1781, and st. 5 Composer: Frederick G.
