"God Bless Our Native Land" Siegfried August Mahlmann, 1771-1826 Recast by John S. Dwight, 1813-1893 Text From: THE LUTHERAN HYMNAL (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1941) 1. God bless our native land! Firm may she ever stand Thro' storm and night! When the wild tempests rave, Ruler of wind and wave Do Thou our country save By Thy great might. 2. For her our prayer shall rise To God above the skies; On Him we wait. Thou who art ever nigh, Guarding with watchful eye, To Thee aloud we cry, God save the State! Amen. ________________________________________________ Notes: Hymn #577 from _The Lutheran Hymnal_ Text: Romans 13:1-7 Author: Charles T. Brooks, 1834 Recast by: John S.
