Be jealous for Thy Name,
And drive from out our coasts

The sins that put to shame:
O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand,
And guard and bless our fatherland.

With heavenly wisdom bless;
May they Thy servants be,

And rule in righteousness:
O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand,

4 The Church of Thy dear Son
Inflame with love's pure fire;
Bind her once more in one,
And life and truth inspire:
O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand,
And guard and bless our fatherland.
5 Give peace, Lord, in our time;
O let no foe draw nigh,
Nor lawless deed of crime
Insult Thy Majesty:

O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand,
And guard and bless our fatherland.

Bishop W. Walsham How, 1871

3 Let power and justice side by side Bring civil peace and civic pride; Still may the ancient order bide

Of law and liberty.

4 Keep firm the bond of brotherhood, Keep green the memory of the good, Defend the ramparts, where they stood,

With men who trust in Thee. Rev. Louis F. Benson, 1910 (Suggested by Bishop Heber, 1827)

2 Wake in our breasts the living fires,
The holy faith that warmed our sires:
Thy hand hath made our nation free;
To die for her is serving Thee.

3 Be Thou a pillared flame to show
The midnight snare, the silent foe;
And when the battle thunders loud,
Still guide us in its moving cloud.

God of all nations, Sovereign Lord,
In Thy dread Name we draw the sword,
We lift the starry flag on high
That fills with light our stormy sky.

5 From treason's rent, from murder's stain,
Guard Thou its folds till peace shall reign,
Till fort and field, till shore and sea,
Join our loud anthem,- Praise to Thee.
