Author: Bishop William Walsham How Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #360 (1929) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1. To Thee, our God, we fly
For mercy and for grace;
O hear our lowly cry,
And hide not Thou Thy face!
O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand,
And guard and bless our father-land!
2. Arise, O Lord, of hosts;
Be jealous for Thy Name,
And drive from out our coasts
The sins that put to shame:
O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand,
And guard and bless our father-land!
3. The pow'rs ordained by Thee
With heav'nly wisdom bless;
May they Thy servants be,
And rule in righteousness:
O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand,
And guard and bless our father-land!
4. Give peace, Lord, in our time;
O let no foe draw nigh,
Nor lawless deed of crime
Insult Thy Majesty:
O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand,
And guard and bless our father-land!
