God, The Hope Of Those Who Pray

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.
