#649 — Lord, While for All Mankind

(Verse 1)

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!

(Verse 2)

O guard our shores from every foe,
With peace our borders bless;
With prosperous times our cities crown,
Our fields with plenteousness!

(Verse 3)

Unite us in the sacred love
Of knowledge, truth, and Thee;
And let our hills and valleys shout
The songs of liberty.

(Verse 4)

Lord of the nations, thus to Thee
Our country we commend;
Be Thou her Refuge and her trust,
Her everlasting friend.
