Our Illinois The Centennial Hymn Words by WILLIAM RICE Music by EDWARD C. MOORE
1. Our father's God, Thy name we bless And all Thy mer-cies we con-fess with sol-emn joy: Our prair-ies rich with fruit ful loam, Our rivers sing-ing as they roam, The hap-pi ness that is our home Our hope, our Ill- i-nois.
2. How many times, Almighty God, Our fathers passed be-neath the rod Thy years employ! Grant that their faith be just i-fied In us for whom they fought and died; Their love for The our lasting pride And hope, for Ill - i-nois.
3. Our father's God put forth Thy might; Thru Thee may we de-fend the right, The wrong de-stroy Lead us a- far from greed and lust, Teach us our duty, make us just; In Thee our best, our on-ly trust Our hope, for Ill - i -nois.
4. Great Lord, Thy law hath made us free And all our Free-dom rests on Thee, Our stay and buoy We give Thee praise for banish'd fears, For right-ed e-vils, con-trite tears; Keep steadfast to her stain-less years Our hope, our Ill -i- nois.
