Author: Daniel C. Roberts Hymnal: Reformed Press Hymnal #244 (1934) Meter: 10.10.10.10 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 thro' the skies,
Our grateful songs before Thy throne arise.
2 Thy love divine hath led us in the past,
In this free land by Thine our lot is cast;
Be Thou our Ruler, Guardian, Guide and Stay,
Thy word our law, Thy paths our chosen way.
3 From war's alarms, from deadly pestilence,
Be Thy strong arm our ever sure defense;
Thy true religion in our hearts increase,
Thy bounteous goodness nourish us in peace.
4 Refresh Thy 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.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: NATIONAL HYMN
