That by Thine eyes they may no more be scanned.
Restrain im­pe­tuous pas­sions, Lord,
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

Forward march! He pro­tects us!
Of east­ern sag­es to their God.
My pray­er to Thee; and look­ing up,
Up to the world of per­fect light;
As it may please Thee, re­tain or re­lease me;
Give them a heart to know Thy word,
That we may haste our Lord to greet;
From death’s sting eter­nal­ly.
For the coun­sel and aid of His Spir­it,
His pre­sence con­soles me,
For the coun­sel and aid of His Spir­it,
What light shall be their per­fect guide?
Thou who the stars in their cours­es art guid­ing?
And warns us, lest se­duc­ing ill
Thou, Thou only, canst cor­rect us.
In the way that we should go.
’Neath Thy wings pro­tect me.
Savior, with me ab­ide; be ev­er near my side;
And guide us at Thy will;
