From Many Shores
Words by Bishop Robert Solomon

From many shores You gathered,
Our fathers, mothers all,
And gave as home this island,
So precious though so small.
They toiled and built our nation
As You blessed them with grace.
O God of our salvation,
We seek Your holy face.

Refrain:
Bless Singapore, our home, with peace,
And make us a blessing
To the nations near and far.
We worship You our King;
May everyone know who You are!

We're many tongues and colours;
Teach us to live as one.
Bless all our dreams and labours;
In all Your will be done.
Help us to honour, cherish
All that is good and right.
Let all Your people flourish
As we live in Your light.

We pray for all our children,
Our leaders, workers too;
That we would all be open
To trust Your word as true.
Let righteousness and justice,
Your mercy and Your love
Be found in home and office,
As we each other serve.

We know our strength is in You;
Our future's in Your hand.
Our nation, Lord, come renew,
Come heal and bless our land;
Let every street and heartland
Echo the name of Christ;
To every heart and home extend
Your love, Your grace, Your light.
