With true penitence of heart In reverent devotion, publicly upon our knees We give thanks and acknowledge The providence of God who brought us across the sees His Almighty hands plants dreams in our hearts For ourselves, our families and our land And we trust that even the seas He parts To bless us as we do as He commands He inspires us to seek for light As we pray both day and night That is what makes our nation bright When dark clouds hang over us and cause us to doubt We know to do what Christians through history have done We place our eyes to heaven and turn our faith to God And witness anew the love of the living Son Shaping our homes across this great land To become a city upon a hill shining bright Expanding, innovating making things grand While raising the next generation filled with truth and light He inspires us to seek for light As we pray both day and night That is what makes our nation bright From the deepest depths of any soul To the limitless darkness of the unknown We know God is there, His glory is shown If we seek Him, He makes Himself known He inspires us to seek for light As we pray both day and night That is what makes our nation bright
