INTERNATIONAL ODE

GOD bless our Fathers’ Land!

Keep her in heart and hand

One with our own!

From all her foes defend,

Be her brave People's Friend,

On all her realms descend,

Protect her Throne!

Father, with loving care

Guard Thou her kingdom's Heir,

Guide all his ways

Thine arm his shelter be,

From him by land and sea

Bid storm and danger flee,

Prolong his days!

Lord, let War's tempest cease,

Fold the whole Earth in peace

Under thy wings

Make all thy nations one,

All hearts beneath the sun,

Till Thou shalt reign alone,

Great King of kings!
