Now to Heav’n Our Prayer Ascending

Now to Heav’n our pray­er as­cend­ing

God speed the right!

In a no­ble cause con­tend­ing

God speed the right!

May we live our lives be­fore Thee

Like the good and great in sto­ry

If we fail

we fail in glo­ry:

God speed the right!

Patient

firm

and per­sev­er­ing

God speed the right!

No event or dan­ger fear­ing

God speed the right!

Pains

nor toils

nor trials heed­ing

Never from the truth re­ced­ing

And in Heav’n’s own time suc­ceed­ing

God speed the right!

Still our on­ward course pur­su­ing

God speed the right!

Every foe at length sub­du­ing

God speed the right!

Truth! thy cause

what­e’er de­lay it

There’s no pow­er on earth can stay it

Proudly let us then ob­ey it

God speed the right!
