O HOLY Father, who hast led thy children
In all the ages, with the fire and cloud,
Through seas dry-shod; through weary

Stilling the rude wills of men's wild behavior,
And calming passion's fierce and stormy

With prayer and psalm they worshiped thee.

4 Laws, freedom, truth, and faith in God Came with those exiles o'er the waves, And where their pilgrim feet have trod,

The God they trusted guards their graves.

And spring adorns the earth no more.
