The Church Hymnal ‎#192

192. God bless our native land

1 God bless our native land;
Firm may she ever stand
Thro' storm and night;
When the wild tempests rave,
Ruler of wind and wave,
Do Thou our country save
By Thy great might.

2 For her our prayers shall rise
To God above the skies;
On Him we wait;
Thou Who art ever nigh,
Guarding with watching eye,
To Thee aloud we cry,
God save the state!
