Evangelical Lutheran hymnal ‎#484

484. God bless our native land!

1 God bless our native land!
Firm may she ever stand,
Thro' storm and night;
When the wild tempests rave,
Ruler of wind and wave,
Do Thou our country save
By Thy great might!

2 For her our pray'r shall rise
To God above the skies;
On Him we wait:
Thou who art ever nigh,
Guarding with watchful eye,
To Thee aloud we cry,
God save the State!

Amen.
