Author: Dr. J. R. Wreford, 1800-1881 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #414 (1917) Lyrics: 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,
Our cities with prosperity,
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. Topics: Country, our; The Church and the Kingdom of God National Life; Native Land Prayer for ; National Peace; National Prosperity; Prayer For Native Land; Patriotism; Peace National; Land, our native; National Languages: English Tune Title: ABRIDGE
