For this fair land, For this bright day, Our thanks we pay-- Gifts of thy hand. 3 May every mountain height, Each vale and forest green, Shine in thy word's pure light, And its rich fruits be seen! May every tongue Be tuned to praise, And join to raise A grateful song. 4 Earth, hear thy Maker's voice, The great Redeemer own; Believe, obey, rejoice, And worship him alone, Cast down thy pride, Thy sin deplore, And bow before The Crucified. 5 And when in power he comes, O may our native land, From all its rending tombs, Send forth a glorious band, A countless throng Ever to sing To heaven's high King Salvation's song.

No more our own, we serve the Master alone-- Jesus, who won our salvation! 4 One is the hope of eternal rejoicing before us; one is the song we shall share in God's heavenly chorus: till that glad day let us Christ's mandate obey-- tell the whole world of salvation.
