The Voice of Praise ‎#786

786. God of our fathers! whose right hand

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 prayerful hearts to heaven,
That these 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 bowers,
In safety now recline;
These blessings, gracious Lord, are ours:
The praise be ever thine.
