全能的上帝啊, 谢谢您赐予我们这片美好的土地作为我们的居所。
我们谦卑地恳求您, 使我们永远可以证明, 我们是铭记您的恩惠并乐意遵行您旨意的人民。
用荣耀的行业,良好的学习和纯洁的礼貌来祝福我们的土地。 使我们免于暴力,不和谐和混乱,骄傲和自大,以及各种邪恶的方式。
捍卫我们的自由,把这样一个有着众多族群的国家塑造成一个团结的民族。 奉您的圣名,把智慧的精神赐予那些我们信托的政府权威。 让我们在家中享有正义与和平, 并通过服从您的法律,向世上列国表达对您的赞美。
在繁荣的时候,我们心中要充满感恩; 在患难之日,不要因失败而失去对您的信心。 所有这一切,我们都奉主耶稣基督的名求。 阿们!
A Common Prayer for Our Country
ALMIGHTY God, who hast given us this good land for our heritage; We humbly beseech thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of thy favour and glad to do thy will. Bless our land with honourable industry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogancy, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in thy Name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to thy law, we may show forth thy praise among the nations of the earth. In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in thee to fail; all which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
