Hymnal: The Minstrel of Zion #105 (1845) First Line: God of our fathers, whose right hand Lyrics: 1 God of our fathers, whose right hand
Their galling fetters broke,
And set our now delightsome land,
Free from a foreign yoke.
2 We thank thee for the blessings given,
Prosperity and peace,
And raise our pray'rful hearts to heaven,
That they may still increase.
3 Our warrior sires, who stood in arms,
In death's long slumber rest,
While we, secure from war's alarms,
By their hard toils are blest.
4 We, in our own thrice blissful bow'rs,
In safety now recline;
These blessings, gracious Lord, are ours,
The praise be ever thine.
