# God Save Nauvoo

<!-- page:671 -->

BY W. W. Phelps.

When you pray for all blessings to equally flow;

For the gathering and kingdom of Christ here below;

For the good of all people: the Mormon and Jew,

For a more perfect union: then pray without ceasing, O God save Nauvoo!

When you pray for old Israel, now scattered afar:

For the nations and kingdoms, degraded by war;

For the world in its blindness, through wickedness, too;

For redemption as promised; then pray without doubting. O God save Nauvoo

When you pray for your foes, both without and within;

For the captives in prison, the exiles in sin,

When you enter your closet, as Christ told you to;

And ask of the Father: then pray in the spirit, O God bless Nauvoo!
