Description: Text reads, "Hymn. Why, O God! thy people spurn? Why permit thy wrath to burn? God of memory! Turn once more, All our broken hearts restore. Thou hast made our land to quake, – Heal the breaches thou dost make; Bitter is the cup we drink, – Suffer not our souls to sink. Be thy banner now unfurled, Show thy truth to all the world; Save us, Lord! We cry to thee, Lift thine arm – they chosen free. Give us now relief from pain, – Human aid is all in vain: We, through God, shall yet prevail, He will help, when foes assail. Hymn. God bless our native land, Firm may she ever stands, Thro’ storm and night; When the wild tempests rave, Ruler of wind and wave! Do thou our country save, By thy great might. Our fathers’ God! to thee Author of Liberty, To thee we sing; Long may our land be bright With freedom’s holy might, Protect us by thy might, Great God, our King! For her our prayer shall rise, To God above the skies; On him we wait; Thou who hast heard each sigh, Watching each weeping eye, Be thou forever nigh: God save the State. Bless thou our native land, Firm may she ever stand Thro’ storm and night! When the wild tempests rave, Ruler of wind and wave! Do thou our country save, By thy great might. America. Our country, ‘tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee we sing; Land where our fathers died, Land of the pilgrims’ pride From every mountain side Let freedom ring. Our native county, thee, Land of the noble, free – Thy name we love; We love thy rocks and rills Thy woods and templed hills; Each heart with rapture thrills Like that above Let music swell the breeze, And ring from all the trees Sweet freedom’s song; Let mortal tongues awake, Let all that breath partake, Let rocks their silence break, The sound prolong Our fathers’ God, to thee, Author of liberty, To thee we sing; Long may our land be bright With freedom’s holy light; Protect us by thy might, Great God, our King."
