1 Now may the God of pow'r and grace
Attend the people’s humble cry!
Jehovah hears when Israel prays,
And brings deliv'rance from on high.

2 The name of Jacob's God defends
When bucklers fail and brazen walls;
He from his sanctuary sends
Succour and strength when Zion calls.

3 Well he remembers all our sighs,
His love exceeds our best deserts:
His love accepts the sacrifice
Of humble groans and broken hearts.

4 In his salvation is our hope,
And in the name of Israel's God
Our troops shall lift their banners up,
Our natives spread their flags abroad.

5 Some trust in horses train'd for war,
And some of chariots make their boast:
Our surest expectations are
From thee, the Lord of heav'nly hosts.

6 [O may the mem'ry of thy name
Inspire our armies for the fight!
Our foes shall fall and die with shame;
Or quit the field with coward flight.]

7 Now save us, Lord, from slavish fear,
Now let our hopes be firm and strong,
Till thy salvation shall appear,
And joy and triumph raise the song.
