Lord God of Hosts, Within Whose Hand

Author: Laurence Housman Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3696 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Lord God of Hosts, within whose hand Dominion rests on sea and land, Before whose word of life or death The strength of nations is but breath: O King, enthroned all thrones above, Give strength unto the land we love. 2. Thou breath of life since time began, Breathing upon the lips of man, Hast taught each kindred race to raise United word to sound Thy praise: So, in this land, join, we beseech, All hearts and lips in single speech. 3. To George our saint Thou gavest grace Without one fear all foes to face, And to confess by faithful death That word of life which was his breath. O help us, helper of Saint George, To fear not bonds that man can forge. 4. Arm us like him, who in Thy trust Beat down the dragon in the dust; So that we too may tread down sin And with Thy saints a crown may win. Help us, O God, that we may be A land acceptable to Thee.
