Evangelical Lutheran hymnal ‎#162

162. O Lord, our God, arise

1 O Lord, our God, arise,
The cause of truth maintain,
And wide o'er all the peopled world
Extend its blessed reign.

2 Thou Prince of Life, arise,
Nor let Thy glory cease;
Far spread the conquests of Thy grace,
And bless the earth with peace.

3 O Holy Spirit rise,
Expand Thy heavenly wing,
And o'er a dark and ruined world
Let light and order spring.

4 O all ye nations rise,
To God, the Savior, sing:
From shore to shore, from earth to heaven,
Let echoing anthems ring.
