¶Lyrics / Text

To thee our God we fly for mercy and for grace; O hear our lowly cry, and hide not thou thy face. ''O Lord, stretch forth thy mighty hand,'' ''and guard and bless our fatherland.'' Arise, O Lord of Hosts, be jealous for thy name, and drive from out our coasts the sins that put to shame: Thy best gifts from on high in rich abundance pour, that we may magnify and praise thee more and more: The powers ordained by thee with heavenly wisdom bless; may they thy servants be, and rule in righteousness: The Church of thy dear Son inflame with love’s pure fire, bind her once more in one, and life and truth inspire: The pastors of thy fold with grace and power endue, that faithful, pure, and bold, they may be pastors true: O let us love thy house, and sanctify thy day, bring unto thee our vows, and loyal homage pay: Give peace, Lord, in our time; O let no foe draw nigh, nor lawless deed of crime insult thy majesty: Though vile and worthless, still thy people, Lord, are we; and for our God we will none other have but thee. ''O Lord, stretch forth thy mighty hand,'' ''and guard and bless our fatherland.''
