Author: Watts Hymnal: Church Book #497 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Now may the God of power and grace
Attend His people's humble cry!
Jehovah hear when Israel prays,
And bring deliverance from on high!
2 The Name of Jacob's God defends
Better than shields or brazen walls;
He from His sanctuary sends
Succor and strength when Zion calls.
3 In His salvation is our hope,
And in the Name of Israel's God,
Our troops shall lift their banners up,
Our navies spread their flags abroad.
4 Some trust in horses trained for war,
And some of chariots make their boasts,
Our surest expectations are
From Thee, the Lord of heavenly hosts.
5 Now save us, Lord, from slavish fear;
Now let our hope be firm and strong,
Till Thy salvation shall appear,
And joy and triumph raise the song. Topics: National In War Time Scripture: Psalm 20 Languages: English Tune Title: WOOLMER'S
