Text:Lord, let Thy goodness lead our land
Author:Rev. Philip Doddridge
Tune:ROTHWELL
Composer:William Tansur

159. Lord, let Thy goodness lead our land

1 Lord, let Thy goodness lead our land,
Still saved by Thine almighty hand,
The tribute of its love to bring
To Thee our Savior and our King.

2 Let ev'ry sacred temple raise
Triumphant songs of holy praise;
Let ev'ry heart and ev'ry home
A temple, Lord, to Thee become.

3 Still be it our supreme delight
To walk as in Thy glorious sight;
Still in Thy precepts and Thy fear,
Till life's last hour, to persevere.
