Churches of Christ Hymn Book ‎#452

452. O God of truth, the power of nations free

1 O God of truth, the power of nations free;
Source of all wisdom, strength and liberty;
Giver of faith, on whom our hopes depend;
Hear us as hymns of praise to Thee ascend.

2 Armed by thy might, our fathers set us free;
Bind us to them in faith and loyalty;
Set high our aims that justice may prevail;
Fill us with love, and hope that cannot fail.

3 Fix high our purpose in this fateful hour;
Save from the shame that blights the gift of power;
Forgive our foolish pride, we humbly pray,
Yet grant us courage equal to our day.

4 Thus let us falter not at duty's call,
Which bids us seek a brotherhood for all,
Building through all the coming years with thee
A Commonwealth united, strong and free.
