47. God of Our Strength

1 God of our strength, enthroned above,
the source of life, the fount of love,
O let devotion’s sacred flame
our souls awake to praise thy name.

Refrain:
God of our strength, we wait on thee,
our sure defense forever be.

2 To thee we lift our joyful eyes,
to thee on wings of faith we rise.
Come thou, and let thy courts on earth
ring out thy praise in days of mirth. [Refrain]

3 God of our strength, from day to day
direct our thoughts and guide our way.
Oh, may our hearts united be
in sweet communion, God, with thee. [Refrain]

4 God of our strength, on thee we call.
God of our hope, our light, our all,
thy name we praise, thy love adore,
our rock, our shield, forevermore. [Refrain]
