Lord of the lands, beneath Thy bending skies

Albert Durrant Watson (1915) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 72:7-8

Verse 1

Lord of the lands, beneath Thy bending skies, On field and flood, where’er our banner flies, Thy people lift their hearts to Thee, Their grateful voices raise: May our Dominion ever be A temple to Thy praise. Thy will alone let all enthrone; Lord of the lands, make Canada Thine own! Lord of the lands, make Canada Thine own!

Verse 2

Lord of the worlds, with strong eternal hand, Hold us in honor, truth and self-command; The loyal heart, the constant mind, The courage to be true, Our wide-extending Empire bind, And all the earth renew. Thy name be known through every zone; Lord of the worlds, make all the lands Thine own! Lord of the worlds, make all the lands Thine own! Amen.
