God grant a blessing on this land!
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #785 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Nation Patriotism Lyrics: 1 God grant a blessing on this land!
May this Republic ever stand,
A home of peace, a resting-place
For earth's oppressed, down-trodden race.
2 On our chief Magistrate bestow
Wisdom to guide and power to do;
Around him place, in posts of trust,
Men who are honest, firm, and just.
3 And may our legislative halls
Be filled with men whom duty calls,--
Unselfish, patriotic, pure,
To right and country ever sure.
4 With even scales may justice show
The rights of all, both high and low;
So shall our land from flood to flood,
Be that blest land whose King is God.
God grant a blessing on this land!
God of our fathers! whose right hand
Author: W. H. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #786 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Nation Patriotism Lyrics: 1 God of our fathers! whose right hand
Their galling fetters broke,
And set our now delightsome land
Free from a foreign yoke.
2 We thank thee for the blessings given,
Prosperity and peace;
And raise our prayerful hearts to heaven,
That these may still increase.
3 Our warrior sires, who stood in arms,
In death's long slumber rest,
While we, secure from war's alarms,
By their hard toils are blest.
4 We, in our own thrice blissful bowers,
In safety now recline;
These blessings, gracious Lord, are ours:
The praise be ever thine.
God of our fathers! whose right hand
God bless our native land! Firm may she ever stand
Author: J. S. Dwight Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #792 (1873) Topics: The Christian Nation Patriotism Lyrics: 1 God bless our native land!
Firm may she ever stand
Through storm and night;
When the wild tempests rave,
Ruler of wind and wave!
Do thou our country save
By thy great might.
2 For her our prayers shall rise
To God above the skies;
On him we wait.
Thou who hast heard each sigh,
Watching each weeping eye,
Be thou for ever nigh:
God save the State!
God bless our native land! Firm may she ever stand
Parent of all, omnipotent!
Author: Aspland's Col. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #795 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Nation Patriotism Lyrics: 1 Parent of all, omnipotent!
In heaven and earth below!
Through all creation's vast extent,
Whose streams of goodness flow:
2 Teach me to know from whence I rose,
And unto what designed;
No private aims may I propose,
That injure human kind.
3 To hear my country's lawful voice,
May my best thoughts incline;
'Tis reason's law, 'tis virtue's choice,
'Tis nature's call, and thine.
4 Me from fair freedom's sacred cause
May nothing e'er divide;
Nor grandeur, gold, nor vain applause,
Nor friendship false, misguide.
Parent of all, omnipotent!
Roll on, thou joyful day
Author: Duncan Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #796 (1873) Topics: The Christian Nation Freedom Lyrics: 1 Roll on, thou joyful day,
When tyranny's proud sway,
Stern as the grave,
Shall to the ground be hurled,
And freedom's flag, unfurled,
Shall weave throughout the world
O'er every slave.
2 Free, too, the captive mind
By darkness long confined
In slavery's night;
The Saviour's reign extend,
Virtue with freedom blend,
And full salvation send
With freedom's light.
Roll on, thou joyful day
God made all his creatures free
Author: Montgomery Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #797 (1873) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: The Christian Nation Freedom Lyrics: 1 God made all his creatures free;
Life itself is liberty;
God ordained no other bands
Than united hearts and hands.
2 Sin the primal charter broke:--
Sin, itself earth's heaviest yoke;
Tyranny with sin began,
Man o'er brute, and man o'er man.
3 But a better day shall be;
Life again be liberty;
And the wide world's only bands
Love-knit hearts and love-linked hands.
4 So shall every slavery cease,
All God's children dwell in peace,
And the new-born earth record
Love, and Love alone, is Lord.
God made all his creatures free
For those in bonds as bound with them
Author: Hastings Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #798 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Nation Freedom Lyrics: 1 For those in bonds as bound with them,
To thee, O God! we pray
That some celestial, radiant beam
May bring a brighter day.
2 Pity, O Lord! that injured race,
And thy deliverance send;
Grant them the treasures of thy grace,
And bid their bondage end.
3 They sit in darkness, slow to learn
The blessings that they need
Nor can our anxious thought discern
How best their cause to plead.
4 All helpless, and without a plan,
We come before thy throne;
We put no confidence in man,
But trust in thee alone.
5 The means of rescue, and the hour,
Thy mercy will reveal:
Thine is the wisdom, thine the power;
Teach us to do thy will.
For those in bonds as bound with them
Men! whose boast it is, that ye
Author: Lowell Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #799 (1873) Topics: The Christian Nation Freedom Lyrics: Men! whose boast it is, that ye
Come of fathers brave and free,
If there breathe on earth a slave,
Are ye truly free and brave?
If ye do not feel the chain,
When it works a brother's pain,
Are ye not base slaves, indeed--
Slaves unworthy to be freed?
2 Is true freedom but to break
Fetters for our own dear sake,
And with leathern hearts forget
That we owe mankind a debt?
No! true freedom is to share
All the chains our brothers wear,
And with heart and hand to be
Earnest to make others free!
3 They are slaves, who fear to speak
For the fallen and the weak;
They are slaves, who will not choose
Hatred, scoffing, and abuse,
Rather than in silence shrink
From the truth they needs must think;
They are slaves, who dare not be
In the right with two or three.
Men! whose boast it is, that ye
All men are equal in their birth
Author: Martineau Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #803 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Nation Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 All men are equal in their birth,
Heirs of the earth and skies;
All men are equal when that earth
Fades from their dying eyes.
2 God meet the throngs who pay their vows
In courts that hands have made,
And hears the worshiper who bows
Beneath the plantain shade.
3 Oh, let man hasten to restore
To all their rights of love;
In power and wealth exult no more;
In wisdom lowly move.
4 Ye great, renounce your earth-born pride;
Ye low, your shame and fear;
Live, as ye worship, side by side;
Your brotherhood revere.
All men are equal in their birth
Pour, blessed Gospel, glorious news for man!
Author: Ashworth Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #805 (1873) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: The Christian Nation Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 Pour, blessed Gospel, glorious news for man!
Thy stream of life o'er springless deserts roll:
Thy bond of peace the mighty earth can span,
And make one brotherhood from pole to pole.
2 On, piercing Gospel, on! of every heart,
In every latitude, thou own'st the key:
From their dull slumbers savage souls shall start,
With all their treasures first unlocked by thee.
3 Spread, mighty Gospel, spread thy soaring wings!
Gather thy scattered ones from every land:
Call home the wanderers to the King of kings;
Proclaim them all thine own--'tis Christ's command!
Pour, blessed Gospel, glorious news for man!
