Independence Day, 2009

Our fathers' God, to thee,
Author of liberty,
To thee we sing;




Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by thy might,
Great God, our King.


Samuel Francis Smith, 1832


O Eternal God, through whose mighty power our fathers won their liberties of
old; Grant, we beseech thee, that we and all the people of this land may have
grace to maintain these liberties in righteousness and peace; through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.
