We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing
On the land and the waters we call our home;
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing,
Sing praise to God's name; He forgets not His own.
Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining this Kingdom divine;
So from the beginning our faith was growing;
Thou, Lord wast at our side; all glory be thine.
We all do extol thee, Christiana, so lovely,
And pray that thy peace for ever wilt be.
May all Christianans sing loud and clearly:
God's name be ever praised! O Lord, keep us free!
