God of Might, God of Right

God of might

God of right

Thee we give all glo­ry;

Thine all praise in these days

As in ages hoa­ry

When we hear

year by year

Freedom’s won­drous sto­ry.

Now as erst

when Thou first

Madst the pro­cla­ma­tion

Warning loud ev­ery proud

Every ty­rant na­tion

We Thy fame still pro­claim

Bend in ad­or­ation.

Be with all who in thrall

To their task are driv­en;

In Thy pow­er speed the hour

When their chains are riv­en;

Earth around will re­sound

Gleeful hymns to Heav­en.
