God bless our native land, <br />Land of the newly free, <br />Oh may she ever stand <br />For truth and liberty. <br /> <br />God bless our native land, <br />Where sleep our kindred dead, <br />Let peace at thy command <br />Above their graves be shed. <br /> <br />God help our native land, <br />Bring surcease to her strife, <br />And shower from thy hand <br />A more abundant life. <br /> <br />God bless our native land, <br />Her homes and children bless, <br />Oh may she ever stand <br />For truth and righteousness.<br /><br />Frances Ellen Watkins Harper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/god-bless-our-native-land/
