God of the Nations, Hear Our Call

lyricist: Vera Campbell, 1913
Composer: Psalmodia Evangelica, 1789

God of the na­tions

hear our call;

Thou who art Fa­ther of us all;

Show us our part in Thy great plan

For the vast bro­ther­hood of man.

In plas­tic form the na­tions lie;

For mold­ing un­to us they cry;

May we their ur­gent sum­mons heed

And glad­ly go to meet their need.

May we

a na­tion blessed with light

Be ev­er tru­er to the right

That na­tions in our life may see

The pow­er which we de­rive from Thee.

Thus

as Thy king­dom com­eth here

Shall it through­out the world draw near;

And loy­al­ty to coun­try then

Shall reach out to in­clude all men.
