Author: John R. Wreford Hymnal: Hymns for the Living Church #524 (1974) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord, while for all mankind we pray,
Of every clime and coast,
O hear us for our native land,
The land we love the most.
2 O guard our shores from every foe;
With peace our borders bless;
Our cities with prosperity,
Our fields with plenteousness.
3 Unite us in the sacred love
Of knowledge, truth, and Thee,
And let our hills and valleys shout
The songs of liberty.
4 Lord of the nations, thus to Thee
Our country we commend;
Be Thou her refuge and her trust,
Her everlasting friend.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 54:14 Languages: English Tune Title: HARLECH
Lord, While for All Mankind We Pray
