Negaraku, tanah tumpahnya darahku
Rakyat hidup, bersatu dan maju...
Rahmat bahagia, Tuhan kurniakan,
Raja kita, selamat bertakhta.

Lord give us grace.
May the land on which our bled is shed be a holy and peaceful land.
May its people live in unity and harmony.
May Your peace which surpasses all understanding reign in our hearts and minds.
May love be the means to justice.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. (1 John 4:16)
Love is
patient, love is
kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is
not proud. It is not rude, it is
not self-seeking, it is
not easily angered, it
keeps no record of wrongs. Love
does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always
trusts, always
hopes, always
perseveres.
Love
never fails.
May we emulate Christ in showing love to our fellow man.
Help us Lord, to be patient and kind to those who persecute us.
To be humble and selfless when we feel we have the "right" to be proud and selfish.
May we not be easily angered by recent and not-so-recent events.
May God give us a good memory to remember the good deeds of our neighbours, and make us extremely forgetful in recalling their past mistakes.
May we not be gleeful at the misfortune of our enemies.
May we continue to trust that You are Lord over this nation.
Give us hope for Malaysia, that we may persevere for the love of her.
