Lyrics

Oh the ra­di­ant thresh­old,
Of this dawn­ing day,
In the sac­red still­ness,
We will pause and pray.

Refrain

In the morn­ing, noon and ev­en­ing,
We would seek Thy side;
O do Thou, dear Lord, be­friend us;
O be Thou our guide.

Lo! the Fa­ther bids us,
Come to seek His aid;
Proffers help and guid­ance,
To the ev­en­ing’s shade.

Refrain

Keep us from temp­ta­tion,
Bless in ev­ery need;
Lead us, gen­tle Shep­herd,
Where Thy flocks do feed.
