From hands that would our land de­flow­er,
From self­ish greed and grasp­ing pow­er,
From will­ful waste of free­dom’s dow­er,
From plea­sure’s flood­ing wave;

From all un­rest by en­vy bred,
From all as­saults by pas­sion led,
From an­ar­chy with ban­ners red,
Good Lord, de­fend and save.

Let pow­er and jus­tice side by side
Bring ci­vil peace and ci­vic pride;
Still may the an­cient or­der bide
Of law and li­ber­ty.

Keep firm the bond of bro­ther­hood,
Keep green the me­mo­ry of the good,
Defend the ram­parts, where they stood,
With men who trust in Thee.
