Awake Us Now

Heavenly Father, You have given us this good land as our heritage.  May we remember Your generosity, and constantly and do Your holy will.  Bless our land with industry, truthful education and a godly way of life.  Save us from violence and discord, from confusion, from pride and arrogance, and from every evil. May we who came from many nations with many different languages, become one united people.  Support us in defending our liberties and give those to whom we have entrusted the authority of government, the spirit of wisdom that there may be justice and peace in our land. When times are prosperous may our hearts be thankful. In troubled times do not let our trust in You fail.  We pray this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
