1. Oh God of ages past, and age that ne'er shall end br Bless Thou our fervent hope, br And to our President Thy graces lend br And bless our fervent hope. br br Refrain: br Bless Thou our fervent hope br And lead us always right, br Bless Thou our fervent hope br In battles we may fight. br br 2. Give him superb the power to defeat the foe br And lead him always right, br Let us not drink the draught of human woe br But lead us always right. br br 3. Frustrate the enemies and make us sure to win, br In battles we may fight, br Against the world and wicked men of sin br For battles we may fight. br br 4. Triumphant ever make us be in holy war, br Our enemies to crush: br From earth and distant planes and realms afar br All foes we hope to crush.
