From sea to sea her empire spread,
Her temple Heaven, and Christ her head.
3Then let the grateful church, to-day
Its ancient rite with gladness keep;
And still our fathers' God display
His kindness, though the fathers sleep.
O, bless, as thou hast blessed the past,
While earth, and time, and heaven shall last.
839. C. M. Watts.
"Thou shall teach them to thy children."
