Guide Thou the labor of our hand; Let all our work be surely built

3 Be Thou our strength when war's wild gust 4 O God, make us what Thou wilt;
Rages around us, loud and fierce;
Confirm our souls and let our trust
Be like a wall that none can pierce;
Give us the courage that prevails,
The steady faith that never fails,
Help us to stand in every fight,
Firm as a fortress to defend the right.

As Thou, the architect, hast planned:
But whatsoe'er Thy power shall make
Of these frail lives, do not forsake
Thy dwelling. Let Thy presence rest
For ever in the temple of our breast.
