God of our fathers, whose almighty hand
Leads forth in beauty all the starry band
Of shiny worlds in splendor through the skies,
Our grateful song before thy throne arise

Thy love divine hath led us in the past;
In this free land by Thee our lot is cast;
Be Thou our ruler, guardian, guide and stay,
Thy word our law, thy paths our chosen way.

From wars alarms, from deadly pestilence,
Be Thy strong arm our ever sure defence,
thy true religion in our hearts increase,
thy bounteous goodness nourish us in peace.

Refresh Thy people on their toil-some way,
Lead us from night to never-ending days
Fill all our lives with love and grace divine
And glory, laud and praise be ever Thine.
