SCHOOL HYMN
"For the Might of Thine Arm"
Methodist Hymn Book: #715
For the might of Thine arm we bless Thee,
Our God, our fathers’ God;
Thou hast kept Thy pilgrim people
by the strength of Thy staff and rod;
Thou hast called us to the journey
Which faithless feet ne’er trod;
For the might of Thine arm we bless Thee,
Our God, our fathers’ God.
For the love of Christ constraining,
That bound their hearts as one;
For the faith in truth and freedom
In which their work was done;
For the peace of God’s evangel,
Where with their feet were shod;
For the might of Thine arm we bless Thee,
Our God, our fathers’ God.
We are watchers of a beacon,
Whose light must never die;
We are guardians of an altar,
That shows Thee ever nigh;
We are children of Thy freemen,
Who sleep beneath the sod;
For the might of Thine arm we bless Thee,
Our God, our fathers’ God.
May the shadow of Thy presence,
Around our camp be spread;
Baptize us with the courage,
Thou gavest to our dead;
O keep us in the pathway,
Their saintly feet have trod;
For the might of Thine arm we bless Thee,
Our God, our fathers’ God.
