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.

2 O guard our shores from every foe,

With peace our borders bless,

With prosperous times our cities crown,

Our fields with plenteousness.

3 Unite us in the sacred love

Of knowledge, truth, and thee;

And let our hills and valleys shout

The songs of liberty.

4 Lord of the nations, thus to thee

Our country we commend;

Be thou her refuge and her trust,

Her everlasting friend.
