God of every land and nation

1 God of every land and nation,
On this glorious jubilee,
Let the incense of oblation
From each heart arise to thee;
Save our country:
Long preserve her liberty.

2 Let thy richest blessings ever
Rest upon our happy land;
May no fierce contention sever
This confederated band;
In sweet union,
May we still unshaken stand.

3 May we all be safely guided,
Saviour, by thy gracious will:
When life's storms shall have subsided,
And our tongues in death are still,
May we praise thee,
Where immortal glories thrill.
