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.


Refresh Thy people on their toilsome way,
Lead us from night to never ending day;
Fill all our lives with love and grace divine, 
And glory, laud, and praise be ever Thine!​

God of Our Fathers 

Psalm 145
3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. 4 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. 5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. 6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.

Worship Suggestion:
The sound file is looped.
1. As the song plays the first time (During Verse 1) make remarks about the power and majesty the Lord our God. Emphasize that from generation to generation the Lord remains the same. He is our fortress and help in times of distress. Therefore, like the generations past, we will worship and adore the God of our forefathers as our Savior and our guide.
2. As the song continues, (During Verses 2 - 3) read Psalm 67.

Let the song end.
3. When the song restarts, sing Verses 1 - 3 together.
4. Prayer and Meditation.
