Author: Frederick J. Gillman Hymnal: The Hymnal for Boys and Girls #62 (1936) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: God send us men whose aim will 'twill be Lyrics: 1 God send us men whose aim ’twill be,
Not to defend some ancient creed,
But to live out the laws of Christ
In every tho't and word and deed.
2 God send us men alert and quick
His lofty precepts to translate,
Until the laws of Christ become
The laws and habits of the state.
3 God send us men of steadfast will,
Patient, courageous, strong and true,
With vision clear and mind equipped,
His will to learn, his work to do.
4 God send us men with hearts ablaze,
All truth to love, all wrong to hate;
These are the patriots nations need,
These are the bulwarks of the state.
Amen. Topics: Courage Tune Title: MELROSE
