God of the Ages
God of the ages, whose almighty hand
leads forth in beauty all the starry band
Of shining worlds in splendor through the skies,
Our grateful songs before your throne arise.
Your love divine has led us in the past;
in this free land with You our lot is cast;
O be our ruler, guardian, guide and stay,
your Word our law, your paths our chosen way.
Refresh your people on their toilsome way;
lead us from night to never ending day;
Your true religion in our hearts increase;
your bounteous goodness nourish us in peace.
