Sheet music
- 1Great God of nations, now to TheeOur hymn of gratitude we raise;With humble heart and bending kneeWe offer Thee our song of praise.Here freedom spreads her banner wideAnd casts her soft and hallowed ray;Here Thou our fathers‘ steps didst guideIn safety through their dang'rous way.
- 2We pray Thee let the gospel lightThrough all our land its rad'ance shed;Dispel the shades of error's night,And heav'nly blessings round us spread.Great God, preserve us in Thy fear;In danger still our Guardian be;O spread Thy truth's bright precepts here;Let all the people worship Thee.
