In Loving Adoration

In lov­ing ad­or­ation

We come to wor­ship Thee

Thou au­thor of sal­va­tion

So won­der­ful

so free.

Oh

teach us how to praise Thee

As we be­fore Thee stand

And hear us as we pray Thee

To bless our own dear land.

For mill­ions still in dark­ness

Within this land of light

For men who’ve wan­dered blind­ly

From home and God and right

And those who ne’er have seen Thee

Thou God of love and might

We ear­nest­ly be­seech Thee—

May they re­ceive their sight.

Be Thou our strong de­fend­er

Our con­fi­dence alone;

Be Thou our coun­try’s rul­er

Our na­tion’s cor­ner­stone;

And thus led by Thy Spir­it

And heed­ing Thy blest Word

From ocean un­to ocean

All men shall call Thee Lord!
