|
<p>Not alone for mighty empire, stretching far over land and sea,<br>
|
|
Not alone for bounteous harvests, lift we up our hearts to Thee.<br>
|
|
Standing in the living present, memory and hope between,<br>
|
|
Lord, we would with deep thanksgiving, praise Thee more for things unseen.</p>
|
|
<p>Not for battleships and fortress, not for conquests of the sword,<br>
|
|
But for conquests of the spirit give we thanks to Thee, O Lord;<br>
|
|
For the priceless gift of freedom, for the home, the church, the school,<br>
|
|
For the open door to manhood, in a land the people rule.</p>
|
|
<p>For the armies of the faithful, souls that passed and left no name;<br>
|
|
For the glory that illumines patriot lives of deathless fame.<br>
|
|
For our prophets and apostles, loyal to the living Word,<br>
|
|
For all heroes of the spirit, give we thanks to Thee, O Lord.</p>
|
|
<p>God of justice, save the people from the clash of race and creed,<br>
|
|
From the strife of class and faction, make our nation free indeed;<br>
|
|
Keep her faith in simple manhood strong as when her life began,<br>
|
|
Till it find its full fruition in the brotherhood of man!</p>
