1 Our father's God! to Thee, Author of liberty, To Thee we sing: Long may our land be bright With freedom's holy light; Protect us by Thy might, Great God, our King! 2 Bless Thou our native land! Firm may she ever stand, Through storm and night; When the wild tempests rave, Ruler of wind and wave, Do Thou our country save By Thy great might. 3 For her our prayer shall rise To God, above the skies; On Him we wait; Thou Who art ever nigh, Guarding with watchful eye, To Thee aloud we cry, God save the state! Amen.
