Hymn 610 GOD OF OUR FATHERS 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 Thee 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 ever 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.
