Original text and translations
English text
- 1.
Let God arise to lead forth those Who march to war! Let God arise, and all His foes Be scattered far!
- 2.
So Israel prayed, and Thou, O Lord, Wast with him then: Be with us now, who draw the sword For war again.
- 3.
Grant Thou our soldiers courage high When foes are near, To strive, to suffer, or to die Untouched by fear.
- 4.
Grant strength to those who mourn today Their loved ones lost, Yea, those who give their best, nor stay To count the cost.
- 5.
Fight Thou for us, that we may fill Thy courts with praise; Then teach us mercy, teach us still The fallen to raise.
- 6.
Yet more and more, as ages run, Bid warfare cease, And give to all beneath the sun Love, freedom, peace.
Lyrics: Arthur C. Ainger, 1899.
