Lord God we sing Your praises

In this thanksgiving year

For all Your loving kindness

Upon our country dear:

Your vigil o'er our nation

"From sea even to sea."

Lord, like a blanket covering

Your angels o'er us be.

Lord God eternal reigning

O'er this great land of ours,

We praise You for Your mercy

Which from Your goodness showers:

Good government and weather,

Peace, health and honest chore.

If these were not sufficient

You yet would grant us more.

O King of all creation

Let earthly weapons fade!

You Lord, throughout the ages

Our enemies have staid.

Your Laws our Early Warning,

Your Grace our Sure Defence.

O let us ever trust You.

You, Lord will recompense.

O nation blest with plenty

Come bow before the Lord.

For He is God Who grants you

By faith unearned reward.

Give honour to His sceptre.

Great God now hear our prayer:

Let us this grace and blessing

With all our neighbours share.

The Everlasting Gospel

Be preached in every land.

Our foes and all world nations

For Christ our Saviour stand.

O may all lands confess You,

Then like a "singing ball"

The earth shouts forth its praises

To You, the Lord of all.
