St. LEONARD 8.7.8.7.7.7. |
LOVE OF COUNTRY |
To the name that brings salvation
Let the nations bow the head; Let them kneel in adoration When this name of names is said; Let them pray for restoration Of all things in Christ the head.
He through every generation
Rules in endless majesty; May the kings of every nation Now foreswear their enmity, And with humble veneration In the love of God agree.
Lord, we pray for upright rulers:
Guard them surely in their need From the vanity of power And the emptiness of greed; Let them see the truth of lowness, And on justice let them feed.
To the name that brings salvation |
