1. God of our fathers,
Bless this our land;
Ocean to ocean
Owneth Thy hand.
Home of all nations
From far and from near,
Give to unite us,
Thy faith and Thy fear.
God of our fathers,
Failing us never,
God of our fathers,
Be ours forever.
2. Lord God of Sabaoth,
Mighty in war,
Boundless and numberless
Thine armies are.
Thy right hand conquereth
All that oppose;
Launch forth Thy thunderbolts,
And smite down our foes;
Lord God of Sabaoth,
Failing us never,
Lord God of Sabaoth,
Fight for us ever.
3. Lord God our Savior,
Thy love o’erflows,
Making our wilderness
Bloom as Thy rose.
Thou with true liberty
Makest us free,
Knowing no master,
No king, but Thee;
Lord God our Savior,
Failing us never,
Lord God our Savior,
Reign Thou forever.
4. Spirit of unity,
Crown of all kings,
Find us a resting place
Under Thy wings;
By Thine own presence
Thy will be done,
Millions of free men
Banded as one.
Lord God Almighty,
Failing us never,
Thine be the glory,
Now and forever.
