The Voice of Praise ‎#792

792. God bless our native land! Firm may she ever stand

1 God bless our native land!
Firm may she ever stand
Through 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 hast heard each sigh,
Watching each weeping eye,
Be thou for ever nigh:
God save the State!
