Swell the anthem, raise the song;
Praises to our God belong.
Saints and angels join to sing
Praises to the heavenly King.
Here, beneath a peaceful sway,
May we cheerfully obey,
Never feel oppression’s rod,
Ever own and worship God.
Blessings from His virtuous sway
Flow around this happy land.
Kept by Him, no foes annoy;
Peace and freedom we enjoy.
Hark, the voice of nature sings
Praises of the King of kings.
Let us join the choral song
And the grateful notes prolong.
---Alternative verses---
Here, beneath a peaceful sway,
May we cheerfully obey,
Never feel oppression’s rod,
Ever own and worship God.
Hark, the voice of nature sings
Praises to the King of kings.
Let us join the choral song
And the grateful notes prolong.
