Our Country We Commend
Lord, while for all mankind we pray,
Of every clime and coast,
O hear us for our native land--
The land we love the most.
Unite us in the sacred love
Of knowledge, truth, and Thee;
And let our hills and valleys shout
The songs of liberty.
Lord of the nations, thus to Thee
Our country we commend;
Be thou her refuge and her trust,
Her everlasting friend
--Author Unknown
A Prayer For Our Country
Lord God of heaven, who hath so lavishly blessed this land, make us, thy people, to be humble. Keep us ever aware that the good things we enjoy have come from thee, that thou didst lend them to us.
Impress upon our smugness the knowledge that we are not owners, but stewards. Remind us, lest we become filled with conceit, that one day a reckoning will be required of us.
Sanctify our love of country, that our boasting maybe turned into humility and our pride into a ministry to people everywhere. Help us to make this God's own country by living like God's own people. Amen.
--Peter Marshall
