649- Lord, While for All Mankind
Christian Life: Love of Country
1
- Lord, while for all mankind we pray,
- Of every clime and coast,
- O hear us for our native land,
- The land we love the most.
2
- O guard our shores from every foe;
- With peace our borders bless;
- With prosperous times our cities crown,
- Our fields with plenteousness.
3
- Unite us in the sacred love
- Of knowledge, truth, and Thee,
- And let our hills and valleys shout
- The songs of liberty.
4
- Lord of the nations, thus to Thee
- Our country we commend;
- Be Thou her refuge and her trust,
- Her everlasting friend.
