9956. Jesus, Our Gracious Lord

1 Jesus, our gracious Lord, we come to Thee,
And for our land we plead, Thine let it be;
O send the truth abroad, Thou glorious Son of God,
Where’er man’s foot hath trod, from sea to sea.

2 O let Thy kingdom spread our broad land o’er;
From lakes to southern gulf, where surges roar;
And may the distant west with Thine own peace be blessed,
To where the wave’s white crest breaks on the shore.

3 And when these fleeting years are all gone by;
When earth and sea shall burn, and fade away;
Our coming Thou shalt greet, as, at Thy piercèd feet,
A ransomed world shall meet, no more to die.
