William Billings — Independence

The states, O Lord, with songs of praise Shall in Thy strength rejoice And blest with Thy salvation raise To heav'n their cheerful voice To the King they shall sing, Hallelujah Thy goodness and Thy tender care Have all our fears destroyed A covenant of peace Thou made with us Confirmed by Thy word A covenant Thou made with us And sealed it with Thy blood To the King they shall sing, Hallelujah And all the continent shall sing Down with this earthly king No king but God To the King they shall sing, Hallelujah And the continent shall sing God is our rightful King And the continent shall sing God is our gracious King To the King they shall sing, Hallelujah Let us sing to the King, Hallelujah God is the King. Amen The Lord is His name. Amen May His blessing descend, world without end On every part of the continent May harmony and peace Begin an never cease And may the strength increase Of the continent May American wilds be filled with His smiles And may the natives bow to our royal King May Rome, France, and Spain And all the world proclaim The glory and the fame Of our royal King God is the King. Amen The Lord is His name. Amen Loud, loudly sing that God is the King May His reign be glorious America victorious And may the earth acknowledge That God is the King Amen
