2 God ruleth on high, almighty to save,
And still He is nigh-His presence we have;
The great congregation His triumph shall sing,
Ascribing salvation to Jesus our King.

All glory and power, all wisdom and might,
All honor and blessing, with angels above,

While angels delight to hymn Thee above,
The humbler creation, though feeble their lays,
With true adoration shall lisp to Thy praise.

1. Lead us heav'nly Father, lead us, O'er the world's tem-pes-tuous sea;

Guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us, For we have no help but Thee;

Yet pos- sess-ing every bless-ing, If.. our God our Fa- ther be.
