The Hope of those who wait,
Be with our sons gone forth to fight,
And those who keep the gate. - Give to our hosts in bat - tie's hour
Firm hearts and cour - age high
Thy com - fort give to those who fall,
Thy peace to those who die. - Breathe on our land the spir it calm
Which faith in right
And in the hours of dark sus-pense
A faith which stronger grows. be - stows, - In thee a - lone we place our hope,
Thou Keep - er of the just,
And thou, thro' fight and fire and fears
Will jus - ti - fy our trust. - Thy ways are won - der - f ul, God,
Who mak est wars to cease :
O let this be the fi - nal war
That ush - ers in thy peace.
