O God of our fathers,
we praise and adore thee
For all Thy great mercies
through years that are gone;
Thy guidance and goodness
through many generations
Have brought us now at last
to a new day’s bright dawn.
Help us to be faithful
to Thee and Thy kingdom,
Thy church, and the work
of our Christ in all lands;
May loyalty, sacrifice,
courage now attend us,
And bring to fullest triumph
Thy work in our hands.
Our task is no greater
than that which our fathers
Assumed with fidelity,
courage, and pride;
We know that all mountains
will vanish now before us
If Thou wilt point the way
and remain at our side.
We now re-affirm our
undying devotion;
We pray Thou wilt fill us
with all strength and grace;
Crown all high endeavors
with victories forever,
And may we run with faithfulness
life’s fateful race.
