Lyrics

Our land for Christ we sing;
Our hearts to Him we bring,
And trust His Word;
With His dear cross in view,
Each Chris­tian grace re­new,
And make en­dea­vor true
For Christ our Lord.

Refrain

Our land for Christ we glad­ly sing,
Our hearts to Him, to Him we bring,
And make en­dea­vor firm and true
For Christ, our Lord and king.

Our land for Christ we sing;
Away earth’s fol­lies fling,
And seek His love:
Ours be a heav’n­ly prize,
Unseen by mor­tal eyes,
In man­sions in the skies,
With Him above.

Refrain

Our land for Christ we sing;
Christ, pro­phet, priest, and king,
Whom saints adore;
Each day some du­ty done,
Some Chris­tian work begun,
Some soul to Je­sus won,
We ask no more.

Refrain

Our land for Christ we sing;
Our all to Him we bring,
With one ac­cord;
Sinners, from sin set free,
His won­drous grace shall see,
And through eter­ni­ty
Worship the Lord.
