Music for Ukraine

Music for Ukraine - Day 30

This song caught my attention very recently. It’s a prayer for peace, not only for one’s own country, but for every country, “for each kingdom is thine own.”

Bless This Land
Words by Sally DeFord; music by Michael Moody

Bless this land, dear God our Father.
Bless this land, thy children pray.
Uphold us in our just endeavor.
Speed our efforts, light our way.
Bless this land, dear God our Father.
Heal our wounds and right our wrongs.
Defend us with thine arm forever.
Teach us faith and make us strong.

(Chorus)
Bless every land and nation under heaven.
At thy command let all our conflict cease.
O teach us love for all of thy creation.
Teach us wisdom,
Teach us mercy,
Teach us peace.

Bless this land, dear God our Father.
Bless this land, the home we love.
O may our hope shine ever brighter.
Guide and guard us from above.
Make us thine, dear God our Father.
For each kingdom is thine own.
Unite our hearts until we gather.
As one people at thy throne.
(Chorus)

Dear God our Father,
Teach us thy Peace.

Accompaniment by Tom Barr.
