Which brought them to this goodly land,

For all the goodness Thou hast shown,
For all the wonders Thou hast wrought,
For all we've heard, and seen and known,
Help us to praise Thee as we ought

The little one becomes a host;
The glory be to Thee alone
To Father, Son. and Holy Ghostl
And may the Century to come
Witness new wonders OF Thy grace;
May mighty works through us be DONE
To honor Thee, and Bless the race.
