Another.
Be gracious, Lord, to us
Who seek Thy face this day,
And in the time of trouble thus
To Thee devoutly pray.
Who seek Thy face this day,
And in the time of trouble thus
To Thee devoutly pray.
Forgive all evil past,
And grant our Nation grace
To live to Thee, and pray, and fast,
And run the Christian race.
And grant our Nation grace
To live to Thee, and pray, and fast,
And run the Christian race.
With alms for those in need
We come and trust on Thee,
That Thou wilt give us power to speed
The Right by land and sea.
We come and trust on Thee,
That Thou wilt give us power to speed
The Right by land and sea.

From those who hate us now
All help and safety send;
Be Thou our rock, our champion Thou,
Our Queen-and-People's Friend!
All help and safety send;
Be Thou our rock, our champion Thou,
Our Queen-and-People's Friend!
Unwillingly we draw
The just avenging sword,
And in the name of Right and Law
Implore Thy blessing, Lord!
The just avenging sword,
And in the name of Right and Law
Implore Thy blessing, Lord!
We strove for peace in vain,
And Mesech chose the fight;
Therefore, O Thou, by Whom kings reign,—
Our God! Defend the Right.
And Mesech chose the fight;
Therefore, O Thou, by Whom kings reign,—
Our God! Defend the Right.
