712 Lord from this time we cry to Thee
My father, thou art the guide of my youth
Jer. 3:4
Lord, from this time we cry
to Thee;
Thou of our youth the guide
shalt be:
Draw near and take us by the
hand,
And lead into the goodly
land;
With fire by night and cloud
by day
Be with us on our pilgrim
way.
Forth o the wilderness we go,
The tempter’s wiles ordain’d
to know;
Though weak our arm, and
fierce the fight,
Still may we conquer through
Thy might
till every foul assault
subdued,
our souls are fed with
angels’ food.
In sorrow’s cloud, in
trouble’s sea,
Baptized afresh O Lord, to
Thee,
While every joy that round us
springs
A Eucharistic gladness
brings,
Each journey done each danger
past,
Receive us to thy rest at
last.
Uphold our footsteps in Thy
way,
Nor suffer us in heart to
stray;
With patience bear, with
counsel guide,
From follies wean, from
perils hide;
In suffering soothe, in want
defend,
Confirm and stablish to the
end.
