Author: John R. Wreford Hymnal: Laudes Domini #601 (1888) Person Name: John R. Wreford First Line: Lord! while for all mankind we pray Lyrics: 1 Lord! while for all mankind we pray,
Of every clime and coast,
Oh, hear us for our native land,
The land we love the most.
2 Oh, guard our shores from every foe,
With peace our borders bless,
With prosperous times our cities crown,
Our fields with plenteousness.
3 Unite us in the sacred love
Of knowledge, truth, and thee:
And let our hills and valleys shout
The songs of liberty.
4 Here may religion, pure and mild,
Smile on our Sabbath hours;
And piety and virtue bless
The home of us and ours.
5 Lord of the nations, thus to thee
Our country we commend;
Be thou her refuge and her trust,
Her everlasting friend. Scripture: 1 Kings 8:57 Languages: English Tune Title: GLASGOW
