Lord, While For All Mankind We Pray
J. R. Wreford G. Rossini
Lord, while for all mankind we pray,
Of ev'ry clime and coast,
O hear us for our native land,
The land we love the most.
O guard our shores from ev'ry foe;
With peace our borders bless,
Our cities with prosperity,
Our fields with plenteousness.
Unite us in the sacred love
Of knowledge, truth, and thee;
And let our hills and valleys shout
The songs of liberty.
Amen.
