Representative Text

1 God bless our native land,
With righteous might we'll stand;
Lift high our banner now unfurled,
In "Peace" with all the world.

2 God keep us through the year,
Thy Providence make clear,
Through all the coming storms and rains,
Till sunshine comes again.

3 God bless us through the year,
Our homes and friend so dear;
Pour out upon us from above
Thy mercy, Lord, Thy love.

Amen.
