God, the hope of those who pray,
God, our help where here we stay,
Life of those who pass away:
We beseech Thee, hear us.

Hear us for the men who fight
For our honor and the right,
Shield them with Thy glo­ri­ous might:
We beseech Thee, hear us.

Father, Thou who lovest all,
Help them when on Thee they call,
Ever keep them lest they fall:
We beseech Thee, hear us.

Christ, who died to right the wrong,
Make our brothers brave and strong,
Though the war be fierce and long:
Hear us, holy Je­sus.

By Thy cross, O Christ, draw near
Those who die, that they may hear
Thine own voice, and have no fear:
Hear us, holy Je­sus.

Holy Spi­rit, come, we pray,
Guide our country day by day
In the high and holy way:
Hear us, Ho­ly Spi­rit.

Make us all a worthier race,
Formed and strengthened by Thy grace,
Make this world a holier place:
Hear us, Ho­ly Spi­rit.
