Bending Before Thee

lyricist: John Coleridge (1821–1894)
Composer: Joseph Barnby, 1868

Bending be­fore Thee

let our hymn go up­wards

Bright as the sun­shine break­ing from the dark­ness.

Thee we im­plore to guard us on our jour­ney

Lord God Al­migh­ty.

Guard us in toil when faint­ing in the noon­day

Guard us re­pos­ing un­der ev­en­ing sha­dows.

Guard us when mid­night walks abroad in heav­en

Lord God Al­migh­ty.

If the dread foe as­sail us with temp­tation

Hear us

O Lord

and save us from his dan­ger.

O keep us pure

O lead us to Thy pre­sence.

Lord God Al­migh­ty.

Glory to Thee

O Fa­ther ev­er­last­ing!

Glory to Thee

O Son and Ho­ly Spir­it!

One in three Per­sons

in­fi­nite

un­chang­ing!

Lord God Al­migh­ty!
