To Thee our God we fly
For mercy and for grace;
O hear our lowly cry,
And hide not Thou Thy face.
Refrain
O Lord,
stretch forth Thy mighty
hand
And guard and bless our
Fatherland.
Arise, O Lord of hosts!
Be jealous of Thy Name,
And drive from out our
coasts
The sins that put to shame.
Refrain
Thy best gifts from on
high
In rich abundance pour,
That we may magnify
And praise Thee more and
more.
Refrain
The powers ordained by
Thee
With heavenly wisdom bless;
May they Thy servants be,
And rule in righteousness.
Refrain
The Church of Thy dear
Son,
Inflame with love�s pure
fire,
Bind her once more in one,
And life and truth inspire.
Refrain
The pastors of Thy fold,
With grace and power endue,
That faithful, pure and
bold,
They may be pastors true.
Refrain
O let us love Thy house,
And sanctify Thy day,
Bring unto Thee our vows,
And loyal homage pay.
Refrain
Give peace, Lord, in our
time;
O let no foe draw nigh,
Nor lawless deed of crime
Insult Thy majesty.
Refrain
Though vile and
worthless, still
Thy people, Lord, are we;
And for our God we will
None other have but Thee.
