Our children too;-how should we love Another land so well!

PRAYER AND HUMILIATION.

3 O guard our shores from every foe, With peace our borders bless: With prosperous times our cities crown, Our fields with plenteousness.

4 Unite us in the sacred love

Of knowledge, truth, and Thee: And let our hills and valleys shout The songs of liberty.

5 Here may religion pure and mild Upon our Sabbaths smile; And piety and virtue reign, And bless our native isle.

6 Lord of the nations, thus to Thee Our country we commend; Be Thou her refuge and her trust, Her everlasting Friend.

NOW pray we for

our country, That England long may be The holy, and the happy, And the gloriously free. Who blesseth her is blessed! So peace be in her walls, And joy in all her palaces, Her cottages and halls.

LORD of life and death, we come In sorrow to Thy Throne, Yet not bewildered, blind, and dumb, Before some Power unknown.
