504 ~ 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.
