1 Father of all! Creator blest-- Thy mercies never end; Thou givest the weary traveller rest: Thou art the pilgrim's friend.
2 I rise, and onward urge my way, To Canaan's peaceful land; Be thou around me day by day, And guide me with thy hand.
3 By thee protected and sustained, I have through dangers pass'd: Oh may I, when my wanderings end, Behold thy face at last. Source: The Minstrel of Zion: a book of religious songs, accompanied with appropriate music, chiefly original #41
