The Nation's Prayer

The Nation's Prayer

"Before thy Throne we bow: our God, our shield be thou

From Treason's rage!

In faith we look to Thee, our strength in heav'n we see,

Defender of the free,

In ev'ry age.

"Our follies we confess: 0 God, forgive and bless!

Let Mercy's light

Illumine this dark hour when war clouds o'er us lower,

And thine eternal power

Defend the right!"

Crammond Kennedy.
