Notes L. M.
Lyrics O, God, beneath Thy guiding hand Our exiled fathers crossed the sea; And when they trod the wint'ry strand, With pray'r and psalm, they worshipped Thee. To heard'st, well-pleased, the song, the pray'r; Thy blessings came, and still its pow'r Shall onward through all ages bear The mem'ry of that holy hour. Laws, freedom, truth, and faith in God Came with those exiles o'er the waves, And where their pilgrim feet have trod, The God they trusted guards their graves. And here Thy name, O, God of love, Their children's children shall adore, Till these eternal hills remove, And spring adorns the earth no more.
