To Thee our God we fly
For mer­cy and for grace;
O hear our low­ly cry,
And hide not Thou Thy face.

Refrain

O Lord, stretch forth Thy migh­ty hand
And guard and bless our fa­ther­land.

Arise, O Lord of hosts!
Be jea­lous of Thy name,
And drive from out our coasts
The sins that put to shame.

Refrain

Thy best gifts from on high
In rich abun­dance pour,
That we may mag­ni­fy
And praise Thee more and more.

Refrain

The pow­ers or­dained by Thee
With hea­ven­ly wisd­om bless;
May they Thy ser­vants be,
And rule in right­eous­ness.

Refrain

The Church of Thy dear Son,
Inflame with love’s pure fire,
Bind her once more in one,
And life and truth in­spire.

Refrain

The pas­tors of Thy fold,
With grace and pow­er endue,
That faith­ful, pure and bold,
They may be pas­tors true.

Refrain

O let us love Thy house,
And sanc­ti­fy Thy day,
Bring un­to Thee our vows,
And loy­al hom­age pay.

Refrain

Give peace, Lord, in our time;
O let no foe draw nigh,
Nor law­less deed of crime
Insult Thy ma­jes­ty.

Refrain

Though vile and worth­less, still
Thy peo­ple, Lord, are we;
And for our God we will
None oth­er have but Thee.
