The King of Glory ‎#269

269. God of Our Country

1 Oh, God of our country,
Oh, Lord of the free,
We ask for Thy blessing
On low bended knee,
That all of our people
On land or on sea
May pledge their allegiance
And faith unto Thee,
May pledge their allegiance
And faith unto Thee.

2 Oh, grant to us wisdom
Each day of the year,
The foes of Thy kingdom
Are drawing anear;
Oh, give to our leaders
A vision so clear
That shouts of Thy triumph
All nations shall hear,
That shouts of Thy triumph
All nations shall hear.

3 Oh, God! great Jehovah
Our Maker, our King!
We ask the protecting
Of Thy mighty wing—
And all o’er our country
Thy vict’ry will ring,
And all hearts in gladness
Thy praises shall sing,
And all hearts in gladness
Thy praises shall sing.
