GOD FOR OUR NATIVE LAND. 117 GOD FOE OUR NATIVE LAND.
BY REV. G. W. BETHUNE, D. D.
/^i OD'S blessing be upon
Our own, our native land ! The land our fathers won
By the strong heart and hand,
The keen axe and the brand, When they felled the forest's pride, And the tyrant foe defied, The free, the rich, the wide :
God for our native land !
Up with the starry sign,
The red stripes and the white ! Where'er its glories shine,
In peace, or in the fight,
We own its high command : For the flag our fathers gave, O'er our children's heads shall wave, And their children's children's grave !
God for our native land !
Who doth that flag defy,
We challenge as our foe: Who will not for it die, |
