God, the Hope of those who pray, God, our Help where here we stay, Life of those who pass away: We beseech Thee, hear us. Hear us for the men who fight For our honor and the right, Shield them with Thy glorious might: We beseech Thee, hear us. Father, Thou Who lovest all, Help them when on Thee they call, Ever keep them lest they fall: We beseech Thee, hear us. Christ, who died to right the wrong, Make our brothers brave and strong, Though the war be fierce and long: Hear us, holy Jesus. By Thy cross, O Christ, draw near Those who die, that they may hear Thine own voice, and have no fear: Hear us, holy Jesus. Holy Spirit, come, we pray, Guide our country day by day In the high and holy way: Hear us, Holy Spirit. Make us all a worthier race, Formed and strengthened by Thy grace, Make this world a holier place: Hear us, Holy Spirit. |
