| Lord, while for all mankind we pray, Of every clime and coast, O hear us for our native land, The land we love the most. | | O guard our shores from every foe; With peace our borders bless; With prosperous times our cities crown, Our fields with plenteousness. | | Unite us in the sacred love Of knowledge, truth, and thee, And let our hills and valleys shout The songs of liberty. | | Here may religion, pure and mild, Smile on our sabbath hours, And piety and virtue bless The home of us and ours. | | Lord of the nations, thus to thee Our country we commend; Be thou her refuge and her trust, Her everlasting Friend. | |
