Together for Our Country Now We Pray

Together for our coun­try now we pray;

Give her good speed up­on her an­cient way;

And for her broad­en­ing world a bright­er day

Till all men pros­per that her laws obey.

God save the saints*

and all of hon­ored name!

May vir­tue shine in them with stead­fast flame;

Let wor­thy deeds in­spire the tongue of fame

And flar­ing fal­si­ties be quenched in shame.

God save the Church! may all good men com­bine

As from one root may ma­ny branch­es shine;

And rich in una­dul­ter­ate loaves and wine

May les­sen­ing want and woe de­clare her Thine.

God save the peo­ple and their hous­es all

The thriv­ing

striv­ing

and both great and small!

And let us on Thy love with one voice call

When the sun rises

and the shado­ws fall.
