For mercy and for grace;

And hide not Thou Thy face!

And guard and bless our fatherland.

The sins that put to shame.

And praise Thee more and more.

With heav'nly wisdom bless;
May they Thy servants be,
And rule in righteousness.

In flame with love's pure fire;

With grace and pow'r endue,

Bring unto Thee our vows
And loyal homage pay.

O let no foe draw nigh,
Nor lawless deed of crime.

Though weak and wayward, still
Thy people, Lord, are we;
And for our God we will
None other have but Thee.

And guard and bless our fatherland.
