Great God of Nations

Alfred A. Woodhull (1829) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 15:9-10

Verse 1

Great God of nations, now to Thee Our hymn of gratitude we raise; With humble heart, and bending knee, We offer Thee our song of praise.

Verse 2

Thy name we bless, Almighty God, For all the kindness Thou hast shown To this fair land the pilgrims trod, This land we fondly call our own.

Verse 3

Here freedom spreads her banner wide, And casts her soft and hallowed ray; Here Thou our fathers' steps didst guide In safety through their dangerous way.

Verse 4

We pray thee let the gospel light Through all our land its radiance shed; Dispels the shades of error's night, And heavenly blessings round us spread.

Verse 5

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. AMEN.
