Hymnal: Linden Harp #69 (1855) First Line: Now to heav'n our pray'r ascending Lyrics: 1 Now to heav'n our pray'r ascending,
God speed the right;
In a noble cause contending,
God speed the right.
Be our zeal in heav'n recorded,
With success on earth rewarded,
God speed the right,
God speed the right.
2 Be that pray'r again repented,
God speed the right;
Ne'er despairing, tho' defeated,
God speed the right.
Like the good and great in story,
If we fail, we fail in glory,
God speed the right,
God speed the right.
3 Patient, firm and persevering,
God speed the right;
Ne'er th' event nor danger fearing,
God speed the right.
Pains, nor toils, nor trial heeding,
And in heaven's time succeeding,
God speed the right.
4 Still our onward course pursuing,
God speed the right;
Every foe at length subduing,
God speed the right.
Truth our cause, whate'er delay it,
There's no power on earth can stay it,
God speed the right. Languages: English Tune Title: [Now to heav'n our pray'r ascending]
