PRAYER AND HUMILIATION.
2 God guard our sea- girt land, And save by Thy right hand From all her foes; The reign of peace prolong, Till freedom's rising song Loud tells the end of wrong And nature's throes!
3 God smile upon our land, And countless as the sand Her blessings be! Arise, O Lord, Most High! And call her children nigh, Till heart and voice replyGlory to Thee.

GOD
OD bless our native land! May Heaven's protecting hand Still guard her shore;
May peace her sway extend, Foe be transformed to friend, And Britain's power depend On war no more.
2 Through every changing scene, O Lord! preserve the Queen; Long may she reign, Her heart inspire and move With wisdom from above; And in a nation's love
Her throne maintain.
3 May just and righteous laws Uphold the public cause, And bless our Isle. Home of the brave and free, The land of liberty,
We pray that still on thee Kind Heaven may smile.
