1 Lord God, we worship Thee!
In loud and happy chorus,
We praise Thy love and pow'r,
Whose goodness reigneth o’er us;
To heav’n our song shall soar,
Forever shall it be
Resounding o’er and o’er;
Lord God, we worship Thee!
2 Lord God, we worship Thee!
For Thou our land defendest,
Thou pourest down Thy grace,
And strife and war Thou endest;
Since golden peace, O Lord,
Thou grantest us to see,
Our land with one accord,
Lord God, gives thanks to Thee!
3 Lord God, we worship Thee!
We pray Thee, who hast blessed us,
That we may live in peace,
And none henceforth molest us;
O crown us with Thy love
And heed our cry to Thee;
O Father, grant our prayer;
Lord God, we worship Thee!
