God of our fathers, whose almighty hand by George William Warren — Lyrics
God of our fathers, whose almighty hand
leads forth in beauty all the starry band
of shining worlds in splendor through the skies,
our grateful songs before thy throne arise.
Thy love divine hath led us in the past,
in this free land by thee our lot is cast;
be thou our ruler, guardian, guide, and stay,
thy word our law, thy paths our chosen way.

About God of our fathers, whose almighty hand
George William Warren composed this stirring hymn for SATB choir. Sung in English, it is a powerful prayer for divine guidance and protection. The text expresses profound gratitude for past mercies and seeks God’s continued favor for the nation, asking for protection from conflict and disease, and for spiritual growth and peace. It petitions for God’s presence to illuminate the lives of the faithful, guiding them from darkness to everlasting day with love and grace. This hymn is a fervent plea for divine leadership and blessing upon the people and their land.
