Introduction and 3 verses:
Verse 1:
Now to heaven our prayer ascending,
God speed the right;
In a noble cause contending,
God speed the right.
Be our zeal in heaven recorded,
With success on earth rewarded.
God speed the right.
God speed the right.
Verse 2:
Be that prayer again repeated,
God speed the right;
Ne'er despairing though defeated,
God speed the right.
Like the great and good in story,
If we fail, we fail with glory.
God speed the right.
God speed the right.
Verse 3:
Patient, firm and persevering,
God speed the right;
No event nor danger fearing,
God speed the right;
Pains, nor toils, nor trials heeding,
And in heav'n's good time succeeding,
God speed the right.
God speed the right.
