Lord,
we thank you for our country, great and grand. |
|
Thank Thee, my Lord,
for the freedom we have, more than any land; Our country’s flag
waving, through all peace and war, then and now.
We do pray, Lord, you’ll keep our country, for us, safely, somehow
... |
|
Our country’s leaders to keep Thy Bible well in hand, Thy word to
understand. |
 |
|
Keep Thy Commandments in our schools, our children to truly love our
land,
Love our Lord with all their hearts. This, to them, I know we need to
teach,
That they will grow up knowing Your word, dear God, we do so beseech. |
 |
We pray our country be an example, show there are many who trust our
Lord above, |
|
How we take in others through Thee, whose masters have not this love.
Let our country be undivided. May we, Lord, be as one with Thee, our
King.
Who's price, far above crowns or jewels or fame, or even gold would
bring? |
|
We Praise and thank Thee, oh, my Lord, that You did bring us here, long
ago. |
 |
|
For, in some countries, even Thy precious name, some citizens may not
know.
I, for one, know, along with many more, our government hath brought upon
us shame.
But, Lord, through our trying effort and prayer, help us to turn back to
Thy name. |
 |
In all matters of the heart of this, our country, flags proudly waving
nigh. |
|
Please touch the heart of hardened ones. Help them to look on high
To our Heavenly Master, who made our country so wonderfully blest.
So, may our country’s flag wave us on, knowing our country is the very
best. |
|
Help us to mourn our loss, while on Thy shoulder we lean, today, |
 |
|
From the shameful thing that evil brought our country’s way.
And, dear God, take care of the loved ones who are left behind, who cry.
And, Lord, please help them to know you will avenge them, bye and bye. |
Amen
