| God Of Our Fathers |
| |
| 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 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 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. |
