265. In God's Name Let Us On Our Way

1 In God's name let us on our way!
O Father, grant us help, we pray;
Thy love protect us round about
From foes within and harm without.

2 O Christ, be Thou our Friend and Guide,
Thro' all our wanderings at our side;
Help us all evil to withstand
That wars against Thy least command.

3 O Holy Spirit, day by day,
With needful gifts attend our way;
Grant hope and strength when dark our road,
And bring us home again in God!
