God bless our native land; Firm may she ever stand Through storm and night: When the wild tempests rave. Ruler of wind and wave, Do thou our country save By thy great might. | For her our prayers shall rise To God, above the skies; On him we wait; Thou who art ever nigh, Guarding with watchful eye, To thee aloud we cry, God save the state! | |
