LyicsNow to heaven our prayer ascending,
God speed the right!
In a noble cause extending,
God speed the right!
Be their zeal in heaven recorded,
With success on earth rewarded;
God speed the right,
God speed the right!
Be that prayer again repeated,
God speed the right!
Ne'er despairing, tho' defeated,
God speed the right!
Like the good and great in story,
If they fail, they fail with glory;
God speed the right,
God speed the right!
Patient, firm, and persevering,
God speed the right!
Ne'er the event or danger fearing,
God speed the right!
Pains, nor toils, nor trials heeding,
And in heaven's own time succeeding;
God speed the right!
Still their onward course pursuing,
God speed the right!
Every foe at length subduing,
God speed the right!
Truth thy cause, whate'er delay it,
There's no power on earth can stay it;
God speed the right
