649   Lord While for All Mankind




[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;
With prosperous times our cities crown
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.
