Gracious, mighty, sov'reign Lord,
God of nations, King of kings,
Head of all created things,
By the Church with joy confest,
God o'er all forever blest--
Pleading at Thy throne we stand,
Save Thy people, bless our land.
2 On our fields of grass and grain
Send, O Lord, the kindly rain;
O'er our wide and goodly land
Crown the labors of each hand.
Let Thy kind protection be
O'er our commerce on the sea.
Open, Lord, thy bounteous hand;
Bless Thy people, bless our land.
3 Let our rulers ever be
Men that love and honor Thee;
Let the powers by Thee ordained
Be in righteousness maintained.
In the people's hearts increase
Love of piety and peace;
Thus united, we shall stand
One wide, free, and happy land.
Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons Harvest and Thanksgiving Scripture: Jeremiah 29:7 Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE
