God Give us Good Men
Ralph Waldo Emerson; Frank Garlock
______________________________________________________________
God, give us good men,
Men who are great and strong.
Men who for truth and honor's sake,
Stand fast and suffer long.
Brave men who work while others sleep,
Men who dare while others flee.
Men who build a nation's pillars deep,
And strive to keep men free.
God, give us meek men,
Men who know how to pray.
Men who will worship God alone,
And walk with Him each day.
Wise men who know the Word of God,
Men who always will do right.
Men who walk in deep humility,
And trust in God's great might.
God, give us bold men,
Men who have hearts ablaze.
Men who with broader vision seek,
None but God's own praise.
True men with great integrity,
Men whose hearts the Lord has won.
Men who live in humble gratitude,
For all that God has done.
