From Ocean unto Ocean
Robert Murray (1880) • English
Primary Scripture: Psalm 72:8
Verse 1
From ocean unto ocean our land shall name you, Lord and, filled with true devotion, obey your sovereign word; our prairies and our mountains, forest and fertile field, our rivers, lakes and fountains to you shall tribute yield.
Verse 2
O Christ, we pray before you: come in your power to dwell. Now humbly we implore you: make this land whole and well, and may we know, Lord Jesus, the touch of your dear hand, and, healed of our diseases, the tempter's power withstand.
Verse 3
Our Savior King, defend us, and guide where we should go; forth with your message send us, your love and light to show; till, fired with true devotion and kindled by your word, from ocean unto ocean our land shall name you Lord.
