434. 8 & 6s. M. Heber. Prayer for Our Country.

1 From foes that would our land devour;
From guilty pride and lust of power;
From wild sedition's lawless hour;
From yoke of slavery;

2 From blinded zeal, by faction led;
From giddy change, by fancy bred;
From poisoned error's serpent head;
Good Lord, preserve us free!
