<p>O Lord of hosts, almighty King,<br>
|
|
Behold the sacrifice we bring:<br>
|
|
To every arm Thy strength impart;<br>
|
|
Thy Spirit shed through every heart.</p>
|
|
<p>Wake in our breasts the living fires,<br>
|
|
The holy faith that warmed our sires;<br>
|
|
Thy hand hath made our nation free;<br>
|
|
To die for her is serving Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>Be Thou a pillared flame to show<br>
|
|
The midnight snare, the silent foe;<br>
|
|
And when the battle thunders loud,<br>
|
|
Still guide us in its moving cloud.</p>
|
|
<p>God of all nations, sovereign Lord,<br>
|
|
In Thy dread Name we draw the sword,<br>
|
|
We lift the starry flag on high<br>
|
|
That fills with light our stormy sky.</p>
|
|
<p>From treason’s rent, from murder’s stain,<br>
|
|
Guard Thou its folds till peace shall reign,<br>
|
|
Till fort and field, till shore and sea,<br>
|
|
Join our loud anthem, praise to Thee.</p>
