From thee our varied comforts spring: Th' extended trade, the fruitful skies, The blessings liberty bestows, Th' eternal joys te gospel shows— All from thy boundless goodness rise. 2 Here commerce spreads the wealthy store, That pours from ev'ry foreign shore; Science and art their charms display: Religion teaches us to raise Our voices to our Maker's praise, As truth and conscience point the way. 3 With grateful hearts, with joyful songs; His pow'r and mercy we proclaim: This land through ev'ry age shall own, Jehovah here has fix'd his throne, And triumph in his mighty name. 4 Long as the moon her course shall run, Or man behold the circling sun, O still may God amidst us reign: Crown our just counsels with success, With peace and joy our borders bless, And all our sacred rights maintain.

Our thanks we bring In joy and praise, Our hearts we raise To heaven's high King. 2 The nation Thou hast blest May well Thy love declare, From foes and fears at rest, Protected by Thy care. 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.
