"GOD OF OUR FATHERS"
The official national hymn
of the United States of America

Lyrics by: Daniel C. Roberts, 1841–1907
Music by: George W. Warren, 1828–1902

VERSE # 01:
God of our fathers,
Whose almighty hand
Leads forth in beauty
All the starry band
Of shining worlds
In splendor through the skies,
Our grateful songs
Before thy throne arise.

VERSE # 02:
Thy love divine
Hath led us in the past;
In this free land
By thee our lot is cast.
Be thou our Ruler,
Guardian, Guide, and Stay,
Thy word our law,
Thy paths our chosen way.

VERSE # 03:
From war’s alarms,
From deadly pestilence,
Be thy strong arm
Our ever sure defense.
Thy true religion
In our hearts increase.
Thy bounteous goodness
Nourish us in peace.
