God save our glorious land-

Stretching from strand to strand!

God save our land!

Long may her banner wave

O’er freemen true and brave!

And shade each patriot’s grave!

God save our land!

God make our Union strong-

Untouched by hate and wrong!

God make it strong!

From foes our land release!

Grant us Thy perfect peace!

Thy blessings still increase!

God save our land!

GOD MAKE OUR Nation pure!

Through time may she endure!

God make her pure!

Tried by refiner’s fire-

Blood-bought by son and sire-

Let not her fame expire!

God save our land!

God bless our noble land!

With unction from Thy hand,

God bless our land!

Make her in might to grow!

On her rich gifts bestow!

Guard her from every woe!

God bless our land!
