 1. O God, we have heard and our fathers have taught
    The works which of old in their day Thou hast wrought;
    The nations were crushed and expelled by thy hand;
    Cast out that Thy people might dwell in their land.

 2. They gained not the land by the edge of the sword;
    Their own arm to them could no safety afford;
    But by Thy right hand, O my Savior and King,
    Command, and thy word shall deliverance bring!

 3. No trust will I place in my bow to defend,
    Nor yet on my sword for my safety depend;
    In God who has saved us and put them to shame,
    We boast all the day, ever praising His name!
