William Billings - Independence - ноты, текст песни (слова)

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.
