|
<p>O Thou before Whose presence naught evil may come in,<br>
|
|
Yet Who dost look in mercy down on this world of sin,<br>
|
|
O give us noble purpose to set the sin bound free,<br>
|
|
And Christlike tender pity to seek the lost for Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>Fierce is our subtle foeman: the forces at his hand<br>
|
|
With woes that none can number despoil the pleasant land;<br>
|
|
All they who war against them, in strife so keen and long,<br>
|
|
Must in their Savior’s armor be stronger than the strong.</p>
|
|
<p>So hast Thou wrought among us the great things that we see!<br>
|
|
For things that are we thank Thee, and for the things to be.<br>
|
|
For bright hope is uplifting faint hands and feeble knees,<br>
|
|
To strive beneath Thy blessing for greater things than these.</p>
|
|
<p>Lead on, O Love and Mercy, O Purity and Power,<br>
|
|
Lead on till peace eternal shall close this battle hour:<br>
|
|
Till all who prayed and struggled to set their brethren free,<br>
|
|
In triumph meet to praise Thee, most holy Trinity.</p>
