Methodist-Hymns-880
1: GOD bless our native land!
May heaven’s protecting hand
Still guard our shore:
May peace her power extend,
Foe be transformed to friend,
And Britian’s rights depend
On war no more.
2: O Lord, our monarch bless
With strength and righteousness
Long may he reign:
His heart inspire and move
ith wisdom from above;
And in a nation’s love
His throne maintain.
3: Uphold the public cause,
And bless our isle:
Home of the brave and free,
Thou land of liberty,
We pray that still on thee
Kind heaven may smile.
4: Nor on this land alone,
But be God’s mercies known
From shore to shore:
Lord make the nations see
That men should brothers be,
And form one family
The wide world o’er.
