God Of Our Fathers tab

God Of Our Fathers

Wow, yet another amazing tab by JESUSFREA343! Today's piece of focus for my 7th Position C Major scale
beginner
series, we will use the famed hymn "God of Our Fathers," our national hymn. This piece has a few scattered 
accidentals (sharps or flats), introduction of underlying tones and harmonics in tablature, and triplets--
enjoy! :D

DISCLAIMER: Anything in parentheses () is optional--that is strictly the trumpet fanfare used in the score.

lyrics courtesy of timelesstruths.org:

God of our fathers, whose almighty hand
Leads forth in beauty all the starry band
Of shining worlds in splendor through the skies,
Our grateful songs before Thy throne arise.

Thy love divine hath led us in the past,
In this free land by Thee our lot is cast;
Be Thou our ruler, guardian, guide and stay,
Thy Word our law, Thy paths our chosen way.

From war's alarms, from deadly pestilence,
Be Thy strong arm our ever sure defense;
Thy true religion in our hearts increase,
Thy bounteous goodness nourish us in peace.

Refresh Thy people on their toilsome way,
Lead us from night to never-ending day;
Fill all our lives with love and grace divine,
And glory, laud, and praise be ever Thine.

Well, that's it...cya next time, God bless! Please comment/rate! :D

-Romans 10:9-10;13
