Lyics

SWELL the anthem, raise the song;

Praises to our God belong;

Saints and angels join to sing

Praises to the heav'nly King.



Blessings from his lib'ral hand

Flow around this happy land:

Kept by him, no foes annoy;

Peace and freedom we enjoy.



Here, beneath a virtuous sway,

May we cheerfully obey,-

Never feel oppression's rod,-

Ever own and worship God.



Hark! the voice of nature sings

Praises to the King of kings;

Let us join the choral song,

And the grateful notes prolong.
