Thou Hast Been Our Guide This Day

lyricist: J. R. Marcum, 1917, and Mary Lathbury, 1877–79
Composer: William Sherwin, 1877

Thou has been our guide this day

Thou hast led us all the way

Thou hast been our sun and shield

Grateful hearts to Thee we yield

While Thou art nigh.

Holy

ho­ly

ho­ly

Lord God of Hosts!

Heav’n and earth are full of Thee!

Heav’n and earth are prais­ing Thee

O Lord most high!

For the gift of strength and health

And for friend­ship’s bound­less wealth

For the pow­er to think aright

For re­li­gion’s guid­ing light

We give Thee thanks.

Guard us through the hours of night

And with morn’s re­turn­ing light

Grant to each of us

we pray

Strength to serve Thee all the day

For Thine we are.
