1 Lord, while for humankind we pray
of every clime and coast,
O hear us for our native land,
the land we love the most.

2 Our fathers' resting places here,
and here our kindred dwell,
our children too: how should we love
another land so well?

3 O guard our shores from every foe,
with peace our borders bless;
with prosperous times our cities crown,
our fields with plenteousness.

4 O may we, Lord, be one in You
in knowledge, truth and love;
and let our songs of freedom rise
from earth to heaven above.

5 Lord of the nations, thus to You
our country we commend;
be now her refuge and her trust,
her everlasting friend.
