Great God of a million years, Bulwark of our ancient fears, Lead us on; Sorrows come and sorrows go, But Thy comfort nations know; Princes, lords, and captains fall, But the lowly hear thy call; Lead us on. 'Cross the tide the storms may blow, Fires of evil brightly glow, Lead us on; When around us thrives the night Burn anew, O Starry Light, Let the moaning sea-winds die Ere the angel Love pass by; Lead us on. Nations marching to the Cross, On their hearts the Sign emboss, Lead us on; By Thy hand the fallen rise To the glory of the skies, By Thy hand a thousand years Thou shalt dry our earthly tears; Lead us on. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: GEORGE GRAY by EDGAR LEE MASTERS CONTRA MORTEM: THE ECSTASY by HAYDEN CARRUTH CHERRY BLOSSOMS BLOWING IN WEST BLOWING SNOW by JAMES GALVIN EVERYBODY KNOWS by DAVID IGNATOW ATELIER CEZANNE by CLARENCE MAJOR |
