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 our ruler, 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;
may 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;
all glory, laud, and praise be ever thine. Topics: Culture, Community & Nation; God as Creator; Occasional Services Anniversary; Occasional Services New Year; Trust in God; War and Revolution Scripture: 2 Chronicles 6:15 Languages: English Tune Title: NATIONAL HYMN
