LyicsGod of our Fathers, whose right hand
Their galling fetters broke,
And set our now delightsome land,
And set our now delightsome land
Free from a foreign yoke,
Free from a foreign yoke.
We thank thee for the blessings given,
Prosperity and peace,
And raise our prayerful hearts to heaven
That they may still increase.
Our warrior sires, who stood in arms,
In death's long slumbers rest,
While we secure from war's alarms
By their hard toils are blest.
We, in our own thrice blissful bowers,
In safety now recline;
These blessings, gracious Lord, are ours,
The praise be ever thine.
