HENRY CAREY.

1 My country, 't is of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,—
Of thee I sing:
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrim's pride,
From every mountain-side

Let freedom ring!

2 My native country, thee,—
Land of the noble free,-
Thy name I love:

I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above.

3 Our fathers' God, to Thee,
Author of liberty,-

To Thee we sing:
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by Thy might,

Great God, our King.

1 God bless our native land!
Firm may she ever stand
Through storm and night!
When the wild tempests rave,
Ruler of wind and wave,
Do Thou our country save,
By Thy great might!

2 For her our prayers shall be, Our fathers' God to Thee,

On Thee we wait!
Be her walls Holiness:
Her rulers, Righteousness,
Her officers be Peace;

God save the State.

3 Lord of all truth and right,
In whom alone is might,
On Thee we call!
Give us prosperity;
Give us true liberty;

May all the oppressed go free;

God save us all!

Lutzen.

1 Great God! Thou dost all nations rule,
And their affairs control;

Thy power extends o'er all the earth,
Thy love from pole to pole.

2 Our native land in mercy view!

From heaven, O Lord, look down!
Thy kingdom in each heart erect!
Maintain Thy rightful crown!

3 On people and on ruler let

Thy blessing, Lord, be shed;

To God and country true, may we
In wisdom's paths be led.

4 As Thee, their God our fathers owned,
So Thou art still our King:

Thou only canst our peace maintain,
Or our deliverance bring.

5 To Thee the glory we ascribe,
From whom salvation came;

In God, our shield, we will rejoice,
And ever bless Thy Name.

1 Long as I live, I'll bless Thy name,
My King, my God of love:

My work and joy shall be the same,
In brighter worlds above.

2 Great is the Lord, His power unknown;
O let His praise be great:

I'll sing the honors of Thy throne,
Thy works of grace repeat.

3 Thy love shall dwell upon my tongue;
And while my lips rejoice,

The men who hear my sacred song
Shall join their cheerful voice.

4 Fathers to sons shall tell Thy name,
And children learn Thy ways;
Ages to come Thy truth proclaim,

And nations sound Thy praise. IV.

TANSUR.
