6.6.4.6.6.6.4 [1651]America: Harmonia Anglicana, c.1742 German; Siegfried A. Mahlmann, 1815; Tr. Charles T. Brooks, 1833; John S. Dwight, 1844 God bless our native land; Firm may she ever stand Through storm and night: When the wild tempests rave. Ruler of wind and wave, Do thou our country save By thy great might. For her our prayers 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. |
