O God of Wondrous Grace

O God of wondrous grace and glory,
Whose law is love, whose grace is life;
We worship thee, we bow before thee
In days of calm, in hours of strife.
In thee, we trust, bless thou our nation;
Our times are in thy powerful hand.
Forgive our sins, our pride of station
Grant, gracious Lord, Peace in our time.
