Through storm and night:
When the wild tempests rave,
Ruler of wind and wave,
Do Thou our country save
By Thy great might.

2 For her our prayers shall rise
To God above the skies,

On Him we wait;
Thou who art ever nigh,

Guarding with watchful eye,
To Thee aloud we cry,
God save the State.

3 Not for this land alone,

But be God's mercies shown

From shore to shore;
And may the nations see

That men should brothers be,
And form one family

The wide world o'er.

Charles. T. Brooks, c. 1833;
John S. Dwight, 1844;

10 GOD, beneath Thy guiding hand

Our exiled fathers crossed the sea;

And when they trod the wintry strand,

With prayer and psalm they worshipped Thee.

2 Thou heard'st, well pleased, the song, the prayer;
Thy blessing came, and still its power

Shall onward through all ages bear
The memory of that holy hour.

3 Laws, freedom, truth, and faith in God
Came with those exiles o'er the waves,
And where their pilgrim feet have trod,

The God they trusted guards their graves.

4 And here Thy name, O God of love,
Their children's children shall adore,
Till these eternal hills remove,

And spring adorns the earth no more.

Leonard Bacon, 1833 (text of 1845)

MAINZER L. M.

Joseph Mainzer, c. 1841

Look from the sphere of end - less day, O God of mer

су and of might;

In pity look on those who stray, Be-night- ed, in this land of light.

A - men.

A-men.

Lord God of hosts, be with us yet, Lest we for-get, lest we forget.
