O Lord of Hosts, Almighty King
Army Hymn
QUEBEC
- O Lord of hosts, Almighty King
Behold the sacrifice we bring :
To every arm thy strength impart ;
Thy Spirit shed through every heart. - Wake in our breasts the living fires,
The holy faith that warmed our sires ;
Thy hand hath made our nation free ;
To die for her is serving thee. - Be thou a pillared flame to show
The midnight snare, the silent foe ;
And when the battle thunders loud,
Still guide us in its moving cloud. - God of all nations, Sovereign Lord,
In thy dread Name we draw the sword,
We lift the starry flag on high
That fills with light our stormy sky. - From treason’s rent, from murder’s stain,
Guard thou its folds till peace shall reign,
Till fort and field, till shore and sea,
Join our loud anthem,—Praise to thee.
Oliver Wendell Holmes. 1861
