Christ, by Heav'nly Hosts Ador'd
}
Christ, by heav'nly hosts ador'd
Gracious, mighty, sov'reign Lord,
God of nations, King of kings,
Head of all created things,
By the Church with joy confess'd,
God, o'er all forever blest;
Pleading at Thy throne we stand,
Save Thy people, bless our land.
On our fields of grass and grain
Send, O Lord, the kindly rain;
O'er our wide and goodly land
Crown the labors of each hand.
Let Thy kind protection be
O'er our commerce on the sea;
Open, Lord, Thy bounteous hand,
Bless Thy people, bless our land.
Let our rulers ever be
Men that love and honor Thee;
Let the powers by Thee ordained
Be in righteousness maintained;
In the people's hearts increase
Love of piety ;and peace;
Thus united we shall stand
One wide, free, and happy land.
