Christ, by Heav’nly Hosts Adored

Christ

by heav’n­ly hosts adored

Gracious

mighty

sov­er­eign Lord

God of na­tions

King of kings

Head of all cre­at­ed things

By the Church with joy con­fessed

God o’er all

for­ev­er blessed.

Pleading at Thy throne we stand

Save Thy peo­ple

bless our land.

On our fields of grass and grain

Send

O Lord

the kind­ly rain;

O’er our wide and good­ly land

Crown the la­bors of each hand.

Let Thy kind pro­tect­ion be

O’er our com­merce on the sea.

Open

Lord

Thy boun­te­ous hand;

Bless Thy peo­ple

bless our land.

Let our rul­ers ev­er be

Men that love and hon­or Thee;

Let the pow­ers by Thee or­dained

Be in right­eous­ness main­tained.

In the peo­ple’s hearts in­crease

Love of pi­ety and peace.

Thus unit­ed

may we stand

One wide

free

and hap­py land.
