God of Nations by Thy guiding hand
Were forefathers led to this best shore,
they seeking some friendly land
Where they Thy praise from fervent hearts might pour
In deep Iibauons. They had nausht to fear
From prosecutions rack or bitter strife
Or gross exactions, often hard to bear
comprised all their daily round of llfe
Their fast famed act on bleak Cape Henry's shore
Was planting of the Cross with grateful men,
Then with voice, the oceans roar
Proclaimed their n what was yet unseen,
Vet we'll they had surely been decreed
And in his good time would be declared
BY Him who helped them in their hour Of need
Who neither fost'rng or guidance spared.
cheered by bIest Hope, sheet-anchor of the SOUL
They struggled im2elled by conscious right,
Strong in that Faith which dir their acts control
AM gave them power, it lost in sight,
On jamestown they did their affairs raise,
Crude first, with high purpose bent,
And again hearssome hymns of praise
They worshpped Thee Cod with consent.
So thus, tits it needs not to be proved
That in this glorious where they free,
Their thought was of Him, whom we'll they loved,
Their glory religious liberty"
So now, Great God, this our nations day,
We give Thee homage, by our sires begun;
We still would learn OF Thee to watch and pray
Lest losing Thy loved be undone
We praise Thee for the gifts Thy love bestows
On this our country with unsparins hand;
Though undeserved, it thus truly

On which biest liberty first the light
