1. Oh God of ages past, and age that ne'er shall end <br />Bless Thou our fervent hope, <br />And to our President Thy graces lend <br />And bless our fervent hope. <br /> <br />Refrain: <br />Bless Thou our fervent hope <br />And lead us always right, <br />Bless Thou our fervent hope <br />In battles we may fight. <br /> <br />2. Give him superb the power to defeat the foe <br />And lead him always right, <br />Let us not drink the draught of human woe <br />But lead us always right. <br /> <br />3. Frustrate the enemies and make us sure to win, <br />In battles we may fight, <br />Against the world and wicked men of sin <br />For battles we may fight. <br /> <br />4. Triumphant ever make us be in holy war, <br />Our enemies to crush: <br />From earth and distant planes and realms afar <br />All foes we hope to crush.<br /><br />Marcus Mosiah Garvey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-national-hymn/
