789. God of our fathers, let thy face

1 God of our fathers, let thy face
Toward the Republic ever be!
Encompass it with strength and grace,
And law combine with liberty.

2 Unto our President impart
Sustaining trust, discerning sight,
The homage of the loyal heart,
The steadfast courage for the right.

3 Within our Congress let the fire
Of patriotic love abide;
Its counsels lead, its acts inspire,
And in the nation's halls preside.

4 Upon our Judges let the seal
Of thy divine anointing be--
The wisdom calm, the righteous zeal,
The robes of truth and equity.

5 God of our fathers, let thy face
Toward the Republic ever be!
Encompass it with strength and grace,
And law combine with liberty.
