GOD BE WITH THEE.
Go with Thy servant, mighty Lord!
Attend his work with power divine;
Gird him with strength to preach Thy word,
And round him make Thy glory shine!
Attend his work with power divine;
Gird him with strength to preach Thy word,
And round him make Thy glory shine!
Before his face prepare the way,
And put the idol gods to shame;
Touch with Thy fire the lips of clay,
And magnify Thy saving name!
And put the idol gods to shame;
Touch with Thy fire the lips of clay,
And magnify Thy saving name!
Bid, where he treads, the desert bloom;
Guide with Thy hand his unknown way;
Scatter the clouds of grief and gloom,
And change the darkness into day!
Guide with Thy hand his unknown way;
Scatter the clouds of grief and gloom,
And change the darkness into day!
Triumphant Prince, gird on Thy sword;
Tread all the powers of darkness down;
Almighty, re-ascended Lord,
Assert Thy power, and wear Thy crown!
Tread all the powers of darkness down;
Almighty, re-ascended Lord,
Assert Thy power, and wear Thy crown!
