Lord, while for all mankind we pray, Of ev'ry clime and coast; O hear us for our native land, The land we love the most. O guard our shores from ev'ry foe, With peace our borders bless; With prosp'rous 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 song of liberty. Lord of the nations, thus to Thee, Our country we commend; Be Thou her refuge and her trust, Her everlasting Friend.
