774. God Bless Our Native Land

1 God bless our native land;
firm may she ever stand
thro' storm and night!
When the wild tempests rave,
Ruler of wind and wave,
do thou our country save
by thy great might.

2 For her our prayers shall rise
to God above the skies;
on whom we wait.
Thou who art ever nigh,
guarding with watchful eye,
to thee aloud we cry:
God save the state!
