Christian Hymn – The Virtuous Love Of Country Hymn

Christian Worship The Virtuous Love Of Country.

Parent of all, omnipotent!
In heaven and earth below!
Through all creation’s vast extent
Whose streams of goodness flow:

Teach me to know from whence I rose,
And unto what designed;
No private aims may I propose,
That injure human kind.

To hear my country’s lawful voice
May my best thoughts incline;
‘Tis reason’s law, ’tis virtue’s choice,
‘Tis nature’s call, and thine.

Me from fair freedom’s sacred cause
May nothing e’er divide;
Nor grandeur, gold, nor vain applause,
Nor friendship false, misguide.

To duty, honor, virtue true,
In all my country’s weal,
Let me my public walk pursue:
So, God, thy favor deal.
