- O God of Hosts, with thy strong hand
Protect our homes and fatherland;
Be thou our shield in war and peace
And guide our steps till life shall cease. - Defend, God, this land of ours,
Its grassy plains,its mountain tow'rs;
Thy blessing be upon it shed
Like morning dew on flow'ry bed.
Teach us in truth and light to grow,
Thy laws to love, thy word to know;
In thee we will for aye abide;
O King of glory, be our guide! A-men.
Responses
Leader:
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
And the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
Assembly:
Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people.
Leader:
When the righteous are in authority the people rejoice; but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
If thou hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God,
The Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth.
