God of Battles

by George S. Patton

From pride and foolish confidence,
 
From every waking creed,
 
From the dread fear of fearing,
 
Protect us, Lord, and lead.
 
 
 
Great God, who, through the ages,
 
Has braced the bloodstained hand,
 
As Saturn, Jove, or Woden
 
Has led our Warrior band.
 
 
 
Again we seek thy council,
 
But not in cringing guise,
 
We whine not for thy mercy,
 
To slay; God make us wise.
 
 
 
For slaves who shun the issue
 
Who do not ask thy aid,
 
To Thee we trust our spirits,
 
Our bodies, unafraid.
 
 
 
From doubt and fearsome bodings
 
Still Thou our spirits guard,
 
Make strong our souls to conquer.
 

Give us the victory, Lord.
