Author: Rev. Chas. T. Brooks, alt Hymnal: The Bright Array #159 (1889) First Line: God bless our native land, Firm may she Lyrics: 1 God bless our native land;
Firm may she ever stand,
Thro’ storm and night;
When the wild tempests rave,
Ruler of wind and wave,
Do Thou our country save
By Thy great might.
2 Lo, our hearts’ prayers arise
Into the upper skies,
Regions of light;
He who hath heard each sigh,
Watcheth each weeping eye;
He is forever nigh,
Venger of Right.
3 For her our prayer shall rise
To God above the skies;
On Him we wait;
Thou who art ever nigh,
Guarding with watchful eye,
To Thee aloud we cry,
God save the State. Scripture: 1 Kings 8:57 Tune Title: [God bless our native land]
God Bless Our Native Land
