1. Lord, while for all mankind we pray Of ev'ry clime and coast, Oh, hear us for our native land, The land we love the most! 2. Oh, guard our shores from ev'ry foe, With peace our borders bless, With prosp'rous 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. Here may Thy Gospel, pure and mild, Smile on our Sabbath hours And piety and virtue bless Our fathers' home and ours. 5. Lord of the nations, thus to Thee Our country we commend. Be Thou her Refuge and her Trust, Her everlasting Friend.
