Author: Samuel Mortimer Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #418 (1917) Lyrics: 1 O God of hosts, whose power and might
O'er all the worlds holds sway,
Thy majesty and sovereign right
The winds and seas obey.
2 Our fathers' God, to whom they came
In every storm and stress,
Through rolling years Thou art the same,
A God of righteousness.
3 Thou wast their shield and hiding-place,
Their shelter and defence;
They trusted Thy redeeming grace,
Thy strength their confidence.
4 In sufferings oft, e'en to the stake,
They still on Thee relied;
No torture could their ardour shake,
And for the truth they died.
5 O Britain's sons, shall it be said
Your fathers died in vain?
Thrice No! the martyrs' blood was shed
That freedom you might gain.
6 O God, we too on Thee depend,
And on Thy word rely;
Thou art our Father and our Friend
To all eternity. Topics: Brotherhood Universal; Brotherhood National; Country, our; The Church and the Kingdom of God National Life; Freedom National; Universal Brotherhood; National Freedom and Brotherhood ; Patriotism Languages: English Tune Title: ST. STEPHEN
