1 Now may the God of grace and power
Attend His people's humble cry;
Defend them in the needful hour,
And send deliverance from on high.

2 In His salvation is our hope;
And, in the Name of Israel's God,
Our troops shall lift their banners up,
Our navies spread their flags abroad.

3 Some trust in horses train'd for war,
And some of chariots make their boasts:
Our surest expectations are
From Thee, the Lord of heavenly hosts.

4 Then save us, Lord, from slavish fear,
Now let our hopes be firm and strong,
Till Thy salvation shall appear,
And hymns of peace conclude our song.
