'T IS God that girds our armor on, And all our just designs fulfils; Through Him our feet can swiftly run, And nimbly climb the steepest hills. Lessons of war from Him we take, And manly weapons learn to wield; Strong bows of steel with ease we break, Forced by our stronger arms to yield. 'T is God that still supports our right, His just revenge our foes pursues; 'T is He that with resistless might, Fierce nations to His power subdues. Our universal safeguard He! From Whom our lasting honors flow; He made us great, and set us free From our remorseless bloody foe. Therefore to celebrate His fame, Our grateful voice to Heaven we'll raise; And nations, strangers to His name, Shall thus be taught to sing His praise. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BEARS AT RASPBERRY TIME by HAYDEN CARRUTH A POEM FROM THE EDGE OF AMERICA by JAMES GALVIN MOTHERHOOD by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON RETROSPECTION by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON CHAMBER MUSIC: 9 by JAMES JOYCE SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: COONEY POTTER by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
