| | | 1. Lord of heaven and earth and ocean,
hear us from thy bright abode,
while our hearts, with deep devotion,
own their great and gracious God:
now with joy we come before thee,
seek thy face, thy mercies sing;
Lord of life and light and glory,
guard thy Church and guide our queen.
2. Peace and health and every blessing
are thy bounteous gifts alone;
comforts undeserved possessing,
here we bend before thy throne:
young and old, O God, before thee
their united tribute bring;
Lord of life and light and glory,
shield our land and save our queen.
3. Thee, with humble adoration,
Lord, we praise for mercies past,
still to this most favored nation
may those mercies ever last;
and thy servants still before thee
songs of ceaseless praise will sing:
Lord of life and light and glory,
bless thy people, bless our queen.
