23. God Save Our Town

1 Heav’nly Father, King,
Unto Thee we bring,
Heartfelt praise and adoration,
And we pray that Thou,
Wilt in mercy now,
Save this “Flower of the nation.”

Refrain:
God save our town!
God save our town!
With a mighty show’r of Thy wondrous pow’r,
God save our town!

2 Grant, we pray, dear Lord,
By Thy Spirit’s sword,
Men in ev’ry walk and station,
May receive the touch,
That shall break sin’s clutch,
And be freed from condemnation. [Refrain]

3 May Thy church be thrill’d,
Ev’ry member filled
With the pow’r of Thy salvation;
Go from pew to pew,
Touch the clergy too,
Make, through Christ, a “new creation.” [Refrain]

4 So, dear Lord, we pray,
In Thine own good way,
Free from vice and degradation,
Till, in heav’n at last,
When this life is past,
We shall join its jubilation. [Refrain]
