Lyrics
God bless our native land,
Firm may she ever stand,
Through storm and night, through storm and night;
When wild the tempst rave,
O ruler of wind and wave,
Do Thou our country save
By Thy great might,
By Thy great might.
For her our pray'rs shall rise
To God, above the skies;
On Him we wait, on Him we wait;
Thou who art ever nigh,
And guarding with watchful eye
To Thee aloud we cry,
God save the state,
God save the state.
Firm may she ever stand,
Through storm and night, through storm and night;
When wild the tempst rave,
O ruler of wind and wave,
Do Thou our country save
By Thy great might,
By Thy great might.
For her our pray'rs shall rise
To God, above the skies;
On Him we wait, on Him we wait;
Thou who art ever nigh,
And guarding with watchful eye
To Thee aloud we cry,
God save the state,
God save the state.
