Not Alone for Mighty Empire

Not alone for migh­ty em­pire

Stretching far ov­er land and sea

Not alone for boun­te­ous har­vests

Lift we up our hearts to Thee.

Standing in the liv­ing pre­sent

Memory and hope be­tween

Lord

we would with deep thanks­giv­ing

Praise Thee more for things un­seen.

Not for bat­tle­ships and fort­ress

Not for con­quests of the sword

But for con­quests of the spir­it

Give we thanks to Thee

O Lord;

For the price­less gift of free­dom

For the home

the church

the school

For the op­en door to man­hood

In a land the peo­ple rule.

For the ar­mies of the faith­ful

Souls that passed and left no name;

For the glo­ry that il­lum­ines

Patriot lives of death­less fame.

For our pro­phets and apos­tles

Loyal to the liv­ing Word

For all he­roes of the spir­it

Give we thanks to Thee

O Lord.

God of jus­tice

save the peo­ple

From the clash of race and creed

From the strife of class and fact­ion

Make our na­tion free in­deed;

Keep her faith in sim­ple man­hood

Strong as when her life be­gan

Till it find its full fru­ition

In the bro­ther­hood of man!
