God Send Us Men Whose Aim Twill Be 147
(MELROSE. L. M.)
F. J. Gillman, altered Frederick C. Maker, 1844-
 


  1. God send us men whose aim 'twill be,
    Not to defend some ancient creed,
    But to live out the laws of Right
    In every thought and word and deed
  2. God send us men alert and quick
    His lofty precepts to translate,
    Until the laws of Right become
    The laws and habits of the State.
  3. God send us men of steadfast will,
    Patient, courageous, strong and true;
    With vision clear and mind equipped,
    His will to learn his work to do.
  4. God send us men with hearts a blaze,
    All truth to love, all wrong to hate;
    These are the patriots nations need,
    These are the bulwarks of the State.Amen.
