Author: Dr. A. D. Watson, 1859- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #422 (1917) Hymnal Title: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book Lyrics: 1 Lord of the lands, beneath Thy bending skies,
On field and flood, where'er our banner flies,
Thy people lift their hearts to Thee,
Their grateful voices raise:
May our Dominion ever be
A temple to Thy praise.
Thy will alone let all enthrone;
Lord of the lands, make Canada Thine own!
2 Almighty Love, by Thy mysterious power,
In wisdom guide, with guide and freedom dower;
Be ours a nation evermore
That no oppression blights,
Where justice rules from shore to shore,
From Lakes to Northern Lights.
May Love alone for wrong atone;
Lord of the lands, make Canada Thine own!
3 Lord of the worlds, with strong eternal hand,
Hold us in honour, truth, and self-command;
The loyal heart, the constant mind,
The courage to be true,
Our wide-extending Empire bind,
And all the earth renew.
Thy name be known through every zone;
Lord of the worlds, make all the lands Thine own! Topics: Canada; Canada; The Church and the Kingdom of God National Life; Native Land Prayer for ; Native Land Love for ; National Prayer; Prayer For Our Country; Loyalty To Christ Languages: English Tune Title: O CANADA
