649 ~ Lord, While for All Mankind
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.
