1 Before you Lord we bow,
Our God who reigns above,
And rules the world below,
Boundless in power and love;
Our thanks we bring
In joy and praise,
Our hearts we raise
Toyou, our King.
2 The nation you hast blest
May well your love declare,
From foes and fears at rest,
Protected by your care.
For this bright day, ,
For this fair land,
Gifts of Thy hand,
Our thanks we pay.
3 May every mountain height,
Each vale and forest green,
Shine in your word's pure light,
And its rich fruits be seen!
May every tongue
Be tuned to praise,
And join to raise
A grateful song.
4 Earth! hear yourmaker's voice,
Your great Redeemer own,
Believe, obey, rejoice,
And worship Him alone;
Cast down your pride,
your sin deplore,
And bow before
The Crucified.
5 And when in power He comes,
O may our native land,
From all its rending tombs,
Send forth a glorious band;
A countless throng
with joy to sing
To heaven's high King
Salvation's song.
