Lord God who blessed our fathers here
1 Lord God who blessed our fathers here
until their journeys' end,
Jacob's Redeemer, Isaac's Fear
and Abraham's true Friend:
2 As you have blessed us in our turn
and brought us to this day,
so may our sons and daughters learn
to know their God, we pray.
3 As you have led us all life through,
so while our children grow
may they find confidence in you
whom it is life to know.
4 As you direct our changing years,
through trials make them strong;
still be their God through joys and tears,
their health, their strength and song.
5 Your love enriches every home
in every age the same:
let praise from every family come
and songs to bless your name.
