43. Now to Heaven Our Prayer Ascending

1 Now to Heav’n our pray’r ascending,
God speed the right!
In a noble cause contending,
God speed the right!
May we live our lives before Thee,
Like the good and great in story,
If we fail, we fail in glory,—
God speed the right!

2 Patient, firm, and persevering,
God speed the right!
No event or danger fearing,
God speed the right!
Pains, nor toils, nor trials heeding,
Never from the truth receding,
And in heav’n own time succeeding,
God speed the right!

3 Still our onward course pursuing,
God speed the right!
Ev’ry foe at length subduing,
God speed the right!
Truth! Thy cause, whate’er delay it,
There’s no pow’r on earth can stay it,
Proudly let us then obey it,
God speed the right!
