My Lyrical Life :: :: University of Virginia Library

God bless our native Land,
Glorious, and grave, and grand,
God bless our Land!
God bless her noble face,
God bless her peerless race,
Great heart, and daring hand,
God bless our Land!

God love our native Land,
Make her for ever grand,
God love our Land!
Robe her with righteousness,
Crown her with gifts of grace,
Throne her at Thy right hand,
God love our Land!

154

If secret foes should band
To strike our dear old Land,
God aid our Land!
Be Thou her strength and stay,
God, in the battle day;
Strew them ashore like sand,
God aid our Land!

Few are we, Sword in hand;
All sword in soul we stand,
Around our Land!
And when her blood shall flow,
Green make her glory grow,
Lead her in triumph grand,
Our leal old Land!

Here pray we hand in hand,
Tears in our eyelids stand,
God save our Land!
Thy Watch-tower on the Sea,
Venger of Right is she,
Long let old Fear-not stand,
God save our Land!
