Jesus, Our Gracious Lord

Verse 1

Jesus, our gracious Lord, We come to Thee, And for our land we plead, Thine let it be; O send the truth abroad, Thou glorious Son of God, Where’er man’s foot hath trod, From sea to sea.

Verse 2

O let Thy kingdom spread Our broad land o’er; From lakes to southern gulf, Where surges roar; And may the distant West With Thine own peace be blessed, To where the wave’s white crest Breaks on the shore.

Verse 3

And when these fleeting years Are all gone by; When earth and sea shall burn, And fade away; Our coming Thou shalt greet, As, at Thy pierced feet, A ransomed world shall meet, No more to die.
