How excellent Thy Name!
Thy glory Thou hast spread afar
In all the starry frame.
Hast mighty strength ordained,
That adversaries should be stilled
And vengeful foes restrained.
Thy handiwork on high,
The moon and stars ordained by Thee,
O what is man, I cry.
To hold so large a place,
And what the son of man, that Thou
Dost visit him in grace.
A pow’r well nigh divine;
With honor Thou hast crowned his head
With glory like to Thine.
And lord of all is he,
Of flocks and herds, and beasts and birds,
And all within the sea.
Thy glory, Lord, proclaim.
O Lord, our Lord, in all the earth
How excellent Thy Name.
the day of march has come;
henceforth in fields of conquest
thy tents shall be our home:
through days of preparation
thy grace has made us strong,
and now, O King eternal,
we lift our battle song.
till sin’s fierce war shall cease,
and holiness shall whisper
the sweet amen of peace;
for not with swords loud clashing,
nor roll of stirring drums,
but deeds of love and mercy,
the heav’nly kingdom comes.
we follow, not with fears;
for gladness breaks like morning
where’er thy face appears;
thy cross is lifted o’er us;
we journey in its light:
the crown awaits the conquest;
lead on, O God of might.

Give ear to our pray’r and thy favor impart;
Thou leader of Joseph, thou guide of his way,
’Mid cherubim dwelling, thy glory display.
O come thou and save us; awake in thy might.
O God, give us favor, restore to thy grace;
And then we shall live in the light of thy face.
Destroying the heathen didst room for it make.
Where planted it grew at thy sov’reign command,
With roots deeply set and boughs filling the land.
They perish, rebuked in thy terrible ire.
O lay then thy hand on the Man of thy might,
The Son of Man made to stand strong in thy sight.
Revive us, O Lord, we will call on thy Name.
O Lord God of Hosts, us restore to thy grace,
And then we shall live in the light of thy face.
