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 all our rights depend On war no more.
May just and righteous laws
Uphold the public cause, And bless our name; Home of the brave and free, Stronghold of liberty, We pray that still on thee May rest no stain.
And not this land alone,
But be Thy mercies known From shore to shore; O that all men would see That they should brothers he, And form one family, The wide world o'er!
God bless our native land! |
J. S. Dwight | Lowell Mason, 1832 |
