Joseph Haydn - Maker of all! Be thou my guard

Copied!edit Lyrics

Maker of all! Be Thou my guard
Give me, (my strength by Thee repair'd,)
Give me to teach the faithless band
To own the justice of thy hand

So, while my pray'rs indulg'd approve
My soul the object of thy love
My foes, with inward anguish torn
Shall each his blasted triumphs mourn

And I, for Thou thy aid shalt yield
In innocence of heart, upheld
Thy courts shall ever tread
And there the fullness of thy presence share

O thankful bless th'Almighty Lord
The God by Jacob's sons ador'd;
With joyful hearts his love proclaim
And praise, O praisе his holy name

His fame, erе time its course began
O'er heav'n wide region echoing ran;
To him through endless ages raise
One song of oftrepeated praise

Maker of all! Be Thou my guard
