Defend Us, Lord

By John Hay

DEFEND us, Lord, from every ill, Strengthen our hearts to do thy will, In all we plan and all we do Still keep us to thy service true.
O, let us hear the inspiring word Which they of old at Horeb heard. Breathe to our hearts the high command, “Go onward and possess the land!”
Thou who art Light, shine on each soul! Thou who art Truth, each mind control! Open our eyes, and make us see The path which leads to heaven and thee!
— John Hay, in Presbyterian Banner.
