(1) We stand for God! and for His Glory,
The Lord supreme and God of all;
Against his foes we raise his standard;
Around the Cross we hear his call.
Strengthen our faith, Redeemer;
Guard us when danger is nigh;
To Thee we pledge our lives and service,
For God we live, for God we’ll die:
To Thee we pledge our lives and service,
For God we live, for God we’ll die.
(2) We stand for God! Jesus our master
Has died to save with love untold;
His law divine and truth unchanging
In this our land their place must hold.
(3) We stand for God! in ages olden
He placed “the Cross” our stars beside;
O may our land, gracious and golden,
Be faithful to the Crucified.
J.P. O’Daly, O.P., last verse John O’Brien, 1878-1953
