Anthems to God Above

Anthems to God ab­ove

Source of eter­nal love

Now let us sing!

Praise our cre­at­or’s name

Come as our fa­thers came

Hail

and with loud ac­claim

Our God and king!

Thanks for our fa­vored land

By His al­migh­ty hand

Guarded from ill;

Thanks for the dew and rain

Broad field and sun­ny plain

Where stores of fruit and grain

Our gar­ners fill.

Thanks for our ban­ner bright

Spangled with star­ry light

Boast of the free;

Signal to those op­pressed

Honored

rev­ered and blest

Waving its no­ble crest

O’er land and sea.

Lord

from Thy throne on high

Bend Thine ap­prov­ing eye

O’er us

we pray.

This be our one de­sire:

Faith

love and zeal in­spire

Light with de­vo­tion’s fire

Our souls to­day.
