Tune: | CROFT’S 136TH |
Composer: | William Croft |
1 To you, our God, we fly
For mercy and for grace.
Oh, hear our lowly cry
And do not hide your face!
O Lord, stretch forth your mighty hand
And guard and bless our native land.
2 The pow'rs that you ordained
With heav'nly wisdom bless;
May evil be restrained,
Replaced by righteousness.
Refrain:
O Lord, stretch forth your mighty hand
And guard and bless our native land.
3 Give peace, Lord, in our time.
Oh, let no foe draw nigh
Nor lawlessness and crime
Insult your majesty! [Refrain]
4 Though vain and foolish, still
We are your people, Lord.
Oh, bend us to your will;
We'll serve no other God! [Refrain]
