1. We praise Thee, O God, our Lord and our king,
Accept Thou the praise we gratefully bring;
Thanksgiving and worship we offer to Thee,
Thou ruler of nations, in whom we are free.
2. We praise Thee, O God, for Thy guiding hand,
In leading Thy church to freedom’s fair land;
Through sore persecution our fathers here came,
Where free and unfettered they worshipped Thy name.
3. We praise Thee, O God, for years of increase,
For faith unassailed, prosperity, peace;
United we offer our anthem of praise,
To Thee, our supporter, our Ancient of Days.
4. We pray Thee, O Christ, our Savior and friend,
From error and strife Thy Zion defend;
Breathe on us, we pray Thee, O Spirit of love,
And fit us for union with Thy church above.
