Text:O thou God of every nation
Author:William James Pearson (1832-92)

622. O thou God of every nation

1 O thou God of every nation,
We now for thy blessing call;
Fit us for full consecration,
Let the fire from Heaven fall.
Bless our Army! Bless our Army!
With thy power baptise us all.

2 Fill us with thy Holy Spirit;
Make our soldiers white as snow;
Save the world through Jesus’ merit,
Satan’s kingdom overthrow.
Bless our Army! Bless our Army!
Send us where we ought to go.

3 Give us all more holy living,
Fill us with abundant power;
Give the Army more thanksgiving,
Greater victories every hour.
Bless our Army! Bless our Army!
Be our rock, our shield, our tower.

4 Bless our General, bless our leaders,
Bless our officers as well.
Bless our converts, bless our soldiers;
Speed the war ‘gainst sin and Hell.
Bless our Army! Bless our Army!
We will all thy goodness tell.
