We praise Thee, O God, our Lord and our King, Accept Thou the praise we gratefully bring; Thanksgiving and worship we offer to Thee, Thou Ruler of nations, in Whom we are free. We praise Thee, O God, for Thy guiding hand, In leading Thy church to freedom’s fair land; Through sore persecution our fathers here came, Where free and unfettered they worshipped Thy Name. We praise Thee, O God, for years of increase, For faith unassailed, prosperity, peace; United we offer our anthem of praise, To Thee, our Supporter, our Ancient of Days. We pray Thee, O Christ, our Savior and Friend, From error and strife Thy Zion defend; Breathe on us, we pray Thee, O Spirit of love, And fit us for union with Thy church above. |
