Bless our nation, Lord, we pray. Let the spirit of Christianity permeate it, enter into the high places, and flow down even to its darkest dens. And, we beseech you, let us have peace; may nothing happen to break it, may it be established on a firm and judicious footing; and for many a year may no sound of trumpet, or noise of cannon, be heard throughout the whole earth.
Let the people praise you, O God, and learn war no more! Let all the nations be blessed! May the gospel of Christ Jesus penetrate into the remotest regions, and where it is known, may the power of it be felt far more.
