God of our salvation, hear us

1God of our salvation, hear us;
Bless, O bless us, ere we go;
When we leave this world to cheer us,
Lest we faint and careless grow.

2May we live in view of heaven,
Where we hope to see thy face;
Let thy Spirit's light be given,
All our hidden paths to trace.

3As our steps are drawing nearer
To the place we call our home,
May our view of heaven grow clearer,
Hope more bright of joys to come.
