Author: Robert Murray Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #596 (1987) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 From ocean unto ocean
our land shall name you, Lord
and, filled with true devotion,
obey your sovereign Word.
Our prairies and our mountains,
the forest, fertile field,
our rivers, lakes, and fountains
to you shall tribute yield.
2 O Christ, for your own glory
and for our country's weal;
we humbly plead before you:
yourself in us reveal.
And may we know, Lord Jesus,
the touch of your dear hand,
and, healed of our diseases,
the tempter's power withstand.
3 Where error smites with blindness,
enslaves, and leads astray,
proclaim in loving-kindness
your joyful gospel day,
till all the tribes and races
that dwell in this fair land,
adorned with Christian graces,
within your courts shall stand.
4 Our Savior King, defend us
and guide where we should go;
forth with your message send us,
your love and light to show,
till, fired with true devotion
and kindled by your Word,
from ocean unto ocean
our land shall name you Lord.
