1 God send us men whose aim 'twill be,
Not to defend some worn-out creed,
But to live out the laws of Christ
In every thought, and word, and deed.
2 God send us men alert and quick
His lofty precepts to translate,
Until the laws of Christ become
The laws and habits of the State.
3 God send us men! God send us men!
Patient, courageous, strong, and true;
With vision clear and mind equipped,
His will to learn, His work to do.
4 God send us men with hearts ablaze,
All truth to love, all wrong to hate;
These are the patriots Britain needs,
These are the bulwarks of the State.
