Lyrics & Stanzas
4 portions
Verse 1
Great God of nations, now to Thee Our hymn of gratitude we raise; With humble heart and bending knee We offer Thee our song of praise.
Verse 2
Here freedom spreads her banner wide And casts her soft and hallowed ray; Here Thou our fathers' steps didst guide In safety thru their dang'rous way.
Verse 3
We pray Thee let the gospel light Thru all our land its rad'ance shed; Dispel the shades of error's night, And heav'nly blessings round us spread.
Verse 4
Great God, preserve us in Thy fear; In danger still our Guardian be; O spread Thy truth's bright precepts here; Let all the people worship Thee.
