FOR THE MIGHT OF THINE ARM
1.
For the might of Thine arm we bless Thee,
our God, our fathers’ God;
Thou hast kept Thy pilgrim people-
by the strength of Thy staff and rod;
Thou hast called us to the journey-
which faithless feet ne’er trod;
For the might of Thine arm we bless Thee,
our God, our fathers’ God.
2.
For the love of Christ constraining,
that bound their hearts as one;
For the faith in truth and freedom-
in which their work was done;
For the peace of God’s evangel-
where with their feet were shod;
For the might of Thine arm we bless Thee,
our God, our fathers’ God.
3.
We are watchers of a beacon-
whose light must never die;
We are guardians of an altar-
that shows Thee ever nigh;
We are children of Thy freemen-
who sleep beneath the sod;
For the might of Thine arm we bless Thee,
our God, our fathers’ God.
4.
May the shadow of Thy presence-
around our camp be spread;
Baptize us with the courage-
Thou gavest to our dead;
O keep us in the pathway-
their saintly feet have trod;
For the might of Thine arm we bless Thee,
our God, our fathers’ God.
