O Lord, we thank Thee for this chance anew,
To turn our nation’s heart to Thee alone,
A gift of grace America holds in view,
That Thou art God, our only cornerstone.
May we, as one, proclaim Thy holy reign,
The land we love beneath Thy sovereign care,
No other lord shall claim our soul’s domain,
For Thou dost rule with mercy rich and rare.
Thy lavish love upon our fields does pour,
A flood of kindness we could ne’er deserve,
We praise Thee, Lord, from shore to shining shore,
Thy will our guide, Thy truth our hearts preserve.
So here we stand, redeemed by grace divine,
One nation blest, forever wholly Thine.
