1. In loving adoration
   We come to worship thee,
   Thou Author of Salvation,
   So wonderul, so free ;
   Oh, teach us how to praise thee,
   As we be fore thee stand,
   And hear us as we pray thee,
   To bless our own dear land.
   
2. For millions still in darkness
   With in this land of light,
   For men who've wandered blindly
   From God and home and right
   And those who ne'er have seen thee,
   Thou God of love and might,
   We ear nestly be seech thee
   May they receive their sight.
   
3. Be thou our strong defender,
   Our confidence a lone,
   Be thou our country's ruler,
   Our nation's corner stone ;
   And thus led by thy Spirit,
   And heeding thy blest Word,
   From ocean unto ocean
   All men shall call thee Lord. Amen
