This Is My Song -- Finlandia

We will sing this hymn tomorrow as our concluding hymn. I think it's a powerful reminder on an Independence Day Weekend, that as wonderful as we believe our nation to be, as much as we may believe that we are blessed, we must remember that our God is "God of all the nations," not just of America. We may believe our skies to be blue, but so do the citizens of every nation.




Our hymnal adds a third verse, written by Georgia Harkness. It states:

This is my prayer, O Ruler of all nations:
let thy reign come; on earth thy will be done.
In peace may all earth's people draw together,
and hearts united learn to live as one.
O hear my prayer, though God of all the nations;
myself I give thee; let they will be done.
