God of Our Fathers, Whose Almighty Hand

1

God of our fathers, whose almighty hand
Leads forth in beauty all the starry band
Of shining worlds in splendor through the skies,
Our grateful songs before thy throne arise.

2

Thy love divine hath led us in the past;
In this free land by thee our lot is cast;
Be thou ourruler, guardian, guide, and stay,
Thy word our law, Thy paths our chosen way.

3

From war's alarms, from deadly pestilence,
Be Thy strong arm our ever sure defense.
Thy true religion in our hearts increase.
Thy bounteous goodness nourish us in peace.

4

Refresh Thy people on their toilsome way,
Lead us from night to never-ending day;
Fill all our lives with love and grace divine,
And glory, laud, and praise be ever Thine.
