Author: Daniel C. Roberts, 1841-1907 Hymnal: One in Faith #950 (2015) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Tune Key: D Major First Line: God of our fathers, whose almighty hand Lyrics: 1 God of our fathers, whose almighty hand
Leads forth in beauty all the starry band
Of shining worlds in splendor through the skies,
Our grateful songs before your throne arise.
2 Your love divine has led us in the past,
In this free land by you our lot is cast;
You are our ruler, guardian, guide and stay;
Your word our law, your paths our chosen way.
3 From war's alarms, from deadly pestilence,
Make your strong arm our ever sure defense;
Your true religion in our hearts increase;
Your bounteous goodness nourish us in peace.
4 Refresh your people on their toilsome way,
Lead us from night to never ending day;
Fill all our lives with love and grace divine,
And glory, laud and praise be ever thine. Topics: Nation Languages: English Tune Title: NATIONAL HYMN
