Page 82 - O God, beneath thy guiding hand, Our exiled fathers crossed the sea ; And when they trod the wintry strand, With prayer and psalm they worshipped thee. Thou heard'st well pleased the song, the prayer: Thy blessing came ; and still its power Shall onward through all ages bear The memory of that holy hour.
