Methodist-Hymns-715
1: FOR the might of Thine arm we bless Thee, our God, our Father’s God.
Thou hast kept Thy pilgrim people by the strength of Thy staff and rod:
Thou hast called us to the journey which faithless feet ne’er trod;
For the might of Thine arm we bless Thee our God, our father’s God.
2: For the love of Christ constraining, that bound their hearts as one;
For the faith in truth and freedom in which their work was done;
For the peace of God’s evangel
wherewith their feet were shod;
3: We are watchers of a beacon
whose light must never die;
we are guardians of an altar
that shows Thee ever nigh;
we are children of Thy freedom
who sleep beneath the sod;
For the might of Thine arm we bless Thee, our God, Our father’s God.
4: May the shadow of Thy presence
around our camp be spread;
baptize us with the courage Thou
gavest to our dead;
O keep us in the pathway their
saintly feet have trod;
For the might of Thine arm we
bless Thee our God, our father’s God.
