Great God of nations! now to thee
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #778 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Nation Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 Great God of nations! now to thee
Our hymn of gratitude we raise;
With humble heart, and bending knee,
We offer thee our song of praise.
2 Thy name we bless, Almighty God!
For all the kindness thou hast shown
To this fair land the pilgrims trod--
This land we fondly call our own.
3 Here, freedom spreads her banner wide,
And casts her soft and hallowed ray--
Here, thou our fathers' steps didst guide
In safety through their dangerous way.
4 We praise thee that the gospel's light
Through all our land its radiance sheds;
Dispels the shades of error's night,
And heavenly blessings round us spreads.
5 Great God! preserve us in thy fear;
In dangers still our guardian be:
Oh, spread thy truth's bright precepts here;
Let all the people worship thee. Scripture: Proverbs 14:34
Great God of nations! now to thee
God of every land and nation
Author: Robinson Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #788 (1873) Topics: The Christian Nation Patriotism Lyrics: 1 God of every land and nation,
On this glorious jubilee,
Let the incense of oblation
From each heart arise to thee;
Save our country:
Long preserve her liberty.
2 Let thy richest blessings ever
Rest upon our happy land;
May no fierce contention sever
This confederated band;
In sweet union,
May we still unshaken stand.
3 May we all be safely guided,
Saviour, by thy gracious will:
When life's storms shall have subsided,
And our tongues in death are still,
May we praise thee,
Where immortal glories thrill.
God of every land and nation
Oh, all ye nations, praise the Lord, Each with diff'rent tongue
Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #807 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Nation Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 Oh, all ye nations, praise the Lord,
Each with a diff'rent tongue;
And every language learn his word,
And let his name be sung.
2 His mercy reigns through every land,--
Proclaim his grace abroad:
For ever firm his grace shall stand,--
Praise ye the faithful God.
Oh, all ye nations, praise the Lord, Each with diff'rent tongue
Great Ruler of the earth and skies
Author: Steele Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #760 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Nation At Peace Lyrics: 1 Great Ruler of the earth and skies,
A word of thine almighty breath
Can sink the world, or bid it rise:
Thy smile is life, thy frown is death.
2 When angry nations rush to arms,
And rage, and noise, and tumult reign,
And war resounds its dire alarms,
And slaughter dyes the hostile plain--
3 Thy sov'reign eye looks calmly down,
And marks their course, and bounds their power;
Thy law the angry nations own,
And noise and war are heard no more.
4 Then peace returns with balmy wing;--
Sweet peace, with her what blessings fled!
Glad plenty laughs, the valleys sing,
Reviving commerce lifts her head.
5 To thee we pay our grateful songs;
Thy kind protection still implore:
Oh, may our hearts, and lives, and tongues
Confess thy goodness, and adore. Scripture: Psalm 65:7
Great Ruler of the earth and skies
The Lord is near! with Sinai tread
Author: Alexander Clark Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #772 (1873) Topics: The Christian Nation Fast-Day Lyrics: 1 The Lord is near! with Sinai trend
He comes to earth again;
From sudden darkness overhead,
A tongue of lightning, clear and dread,
Enough to wake the dusty dead,
Proclaims God's will to men.
2 Oh, bleeding country, now arise,
And call upon the Lord;
Thy broken heart and tearful eyes
Win pity on thee from the skies,
Through Christ, the world's slain sacrifice,
Who saves thee by his word.
3 Thou God of nations, hear our prayer;
We lift our thoughts to thee;
Our sinful nation's life, oh spare!
And may our grief thy grace declare,
By every Christly cross we bear
To bless and make men free.
The Lord is near! with Sinai tread
See, gracious God! before thy throne
Author: Mrs. Steele Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #766 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Nation Fast-Day Lyrics: 1 See, gracious God! before thy throne
Thy mourning people bend;
'Tis on thy sovereign grace alone
Our humble hopes attend.
2 Dark, frowning judgments from thy hand
Thy dreadful power display;
Yet mercy spares this guilty land,
And still we live to pray.
3 How changes, alas! are truths divine,
For error, guilt, and shame!
What impious numbers, bold in sin,
Disgrace the Christian name!
4 Oh, turn us, turn us, mighty Lord,
By thy resistless grace;
Then shall our hearts obey thy word,
And humbly seek thy face. Scripture: Daniel 9:3-19
See, gracious God! before thy throne
And the flag of our fathers, in God's name unfurled
Author: T. H. Stockton Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #793 (1873) Meter: 12.12.12.12 Topics: The Christian Nation Patriotism First Line: In the name of Jehovah our banner we raise Lyrics: 1 In the name of Jehovah our banner we raise,
With its stars and its stripes pledged anew to his praise:
'Tis the ensign of truth, 'tis the standard of right,
'Tis the herald of liberty, union, and right.
Chorus:
And the flag of our fathers, in God's name unfurled,
O'er their children shall wave to the end of the world.
2 If it ever prove false to its glorious trust,
May its foes drag it down with contempt to the dust;
But as long as 'tis true to the blazon it holds,
Shall the arm of Omnipotence bear up its folds.
[Chorus]
3 Here at home, with one sky and one land, let it be
But the flag of one people, harmonious and free;
From the north to the south, from the east to the west,
With no treason to part it, no war to molest.
[Chorus]
4 So abroad on all seas and all shores let it shine
As the symbol of manhood, redeemed and divine;
That the down-trodden nations in triumph may rise,
With their feet on their chains, and their brows to the skies.
[Chorus]
And the flag of our fathers, in God's name unfurled
Restore, O Father, to our times restore
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #764 (1873) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: The Christian Nation At Peace Lyrics: 1 Restore, O Father, to our times restore,
The peace which filled thine infant church of yore,
Ere lust of power had sown the seeds of strife,
And quenched the new-born charities of life.
2 Oh, never more may different judgments part
From kindly sympathy a brother's heart!
But, linked in one, believing thousands kneel,
And share with each the sacred joy they feel.
3 From soul to soul, quick as the sunbeam's ray,
Let concord spread one universal day;
And faith by love lead all mankind to thee,
Parent of peace, and fount of harmony!
Restore, O Father, to our times restore
When Abraham, full of sacred awe
Author: Rippon's Coll. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #770 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Nation Fast-Day Lyrics: 1 When Abraham, full of sacred awe,
Before Jehovah stood,
And, with an humble, fervent prayer,
For guilty Sodom sued.
2 With what success, what wondrous grace,
Was his petition crowned!
The Lord would spare, if in this place
Ten righteous men were found.
3 And could a single pious soul
So rich a boon obtain?
Great God, and shall a nation cry,
And plead with thee in vain?
4 Are not the righteous dear to thee
Now, as in ancient times?
Or does this sinful land exceed
Gomorrah in her crimes?
5 Still we are thine; we bear thy name;
Here yet is thine abode:
Long has thy presence blest our land:
Forsake us not, O God.
When Abraham, full of sacred awe
My country, 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty
Author: S. F. Smith Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #787 (1873) Topics: The Christian Nation Patriotism Lyrics: 1 My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died!
Land of the pilgrims' pride!
From every mountain-side
Let freedom ring!
2 My native country, thee,
Land of the noble, free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills,
Like that above.
3 Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song:
Let mortal tongues awake,
Let all that breathe partake,
Let rocks their silence break--
The sound prolong.
4 Our fathers' God! to thee,
Author of liberty,
To sing we sing:
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light:
Protect us by thy might,
Great God, our King!
My country, 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty
Lord, while for all mankind we pray
Author: Wreford Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #791 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Nation Patriotism Lyrics: 1 Lord, while for all mankind we pray,
Of every clime and coast,
Oh, hear us for our native land--
The land we love the most.
2 Oh, guard our shores from every foe;
With peace our borders bless-
Our cities with prosperity,
Our fields with plenteousness.
3 Unite us in the sacred love
Of knowledge, truth, and thee;
And let our hills and valleys chant
The songs of liberty.
4 Lord of the nations, thus to thee
Our country we commend;
Be thou her refuge and her trust--
Her everlasting friend. Scripture: Psalm 147:14
Lord, while for all mankind we pray
Children of a free-born race
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #794 (1873) Topics: The Christian Nation Patriotism Lyrics: 1 Children of a free-born race,
Happy in your dwelling-place,
As your blessings ye retrace,
Think from whence they flow:
Think of that Creative Hand,
Author of the sea and land,
By whose power the nations stand
In their weal or woe.
2 Here are freedom, health, and peace;
Here oppression's surges cease;
Streams of knowledge here increase,
Deepening far and wide:
Science here her tribute pours,
Industry collects her stores,
Wealth flows in from foreign shores
Like a swelling tide.
3 Here, religion undefiled,
With an influence pure and mild,
Reaches to the humblest child,
E'en from door to door:
Let us then our offerings bring,
Thanks unto the heavenly King;
From the heart his praises sing
Now and evermore.
Children of a free-born race
God of our fathers, let thy face
Author: Samuel Wolcott Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #789 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Nation Patriotism Lyrics: 1 God of our fathers, let thy face
Toward the Republic ever be!
Encompass it with strength and grace,
And law combine with liberty.
2 Unto our President impart
Sustaining trust, discerning sight,
The homage of the loyal heart,
The steadfast courage for the right.
3 Within our Congress let the fire
Of patriotic love abide;
Its counsels lead, its acts inspire,
And in the nation's halls preside.
4 Upon our Judges let the seal
Of thy divine anointing be--
The wisdom calm, the righteous zeal,
The robes of truth and equity.
5 God of our fathers, let thy face
Toward the Republic ever be!
Encompass it with strength and grace,
And law combine with liberty.
God of our fathers, let thy face
Nature hath seasons of repose
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #804 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Nation Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 Nature hath seasons of repose;
Her slumbering clouds and quiet sky;
And many a bright-faced stream that flows
Onward for ever noiselessly.
2 The stormy winds are hushed to rest,
And hang self-poised upon their wings;
And, nursed on mother nature's breast,
Sweet flowers lie like sleeping things.
3 The ocean, that in mountains ran,
Spreads boundlessly without a wave;
And is it only said of man,
His peace is in the gloomy grave?
4 Oh, for the coming of the end,
The last long Sabbath-day of time,
When peace from heaven shall descend
Like heaven's own light, on every clime.
5 When men in ships far off at sea
Shall hear the happy nations raise
The song of peace and liberty,
The chant of overflowing praise.
6 Mankind shall be one brotherhood;
One human soul shall fill the earth;
And God shall say, The world is good,
As in the day I gave it birth.
Nature hath seasons of repose
Hush the loud cannon's roar
Author: Johnson Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #802 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Nation Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 Hush the loud cannon's road,
The frantic warrior's call!
Why should the earth be drenched with gore?
Are we not brothers all?
2 Want, from the wretch depart!
Chains, from the captive fall!
Sweet mercy, melt th' oppressor's heart--
Suff'rers are brothers all.
3 Churches and sects, strike down
Each mean partition wall!
Let love each harsher feeling drown--
Christians are brothers all.
4 Let love and truth alone
Hold human hearts in thrall,
That heaven its work at length may own,
And men be brothers all.
Hush the loud cannon's roar
O God of love! O King of peace!
Author: Campbell Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #763 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Nation At Peace Lyrics: 1 O God of love! O King of peace!
Make wars throughout the world to cease;
The wrath of sinful man restrain:
Give peace, O God! give peace again.
2 Remember, Lord, thy works of old,
The wonders that our fathers told;
Remember not our sins' dark stain:
Give peace, O God! give peace again.
3 Whom shall we trust but thee, O Lord?
Where rest but on thy faithful word?
None ever called on thee in vain:
Give peace, O God! give peace again.
4 Where saints and angels dwell above,
All hearts are knit in holy love;
Oh, bind us in that heavenly chain:
Give peace, O God! give peace again.
O God of love! O King of peace!
O God, thy righteousness we own
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #768 (1873) Topics: The Christian Nation Fast-Day Lyrics: 1 O God, thy righteousness we own;
Judgment is at thy house begun;
With humble awe thy rod we hear,
And guilty in thy sight appear;
We can not in thy judgment stand,
But sink beneath thy mighty hand.
2 Our mouth as in the dust we lay,
And still for mercy, mercy pray;
Unworthy to behold thy face,
Unfaithful stewards of thy grace,
Our sin and wickedness we own,
And deeply for acceptance groan.
3 We have not, Lord, thy gifts improved,
But basely from thy statutes roved;
Yet do not drive us from thy face,
A stiff-necked and hard-hearted race:
The melting power of love impart;
Soften the marble of our heart.
O God, thy righteousness we own
Why, O God! thy people spurn?
Author: Hatfield Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #771 (1873) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: The Christian Nation Fast-Day Lyrics: 1 Why, O God! thy people spurn?
Why permit thy wrath to burn?
God of mercy! turn once more;
All our broken hearts restore.
2 Thou has made our land to quake,
Heal the sorrows thou didst make;
Bitter is the cup we drink,
Suffer not our souls to sink.
3 Be thy banner now unfurled,
Show thy truth to all the world;
Save us, Lord, we cry to thee,
Lift thine arm--thy chosen free.
4 Give us now relief from pain--
Humain aid is all in vain:
We, through God, shall yet prevail,
He will help when foes assail.
5 Sing we to our God above
Praise eternal as his love;
Praise him, all ye heavenly host--
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost--
Why, O God! thy people spurn?
Is this a fast for me?
Author: Drummond Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #773 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Nation Fast-Day Lyrics: 1 Is this a fast for me?
Thus saith the Lord our God:
A day for man to vex his soul
And feel affliction's rod?
2 No; is not this alone
The sacred fast I choose--
Oppression's yoke to burst in twain,
The bands of guilt unloose?
3 To nakedness and want
Your food and raiment deal,
To dwell your kindred race among,
And all their sufferings heal?
4 Then like the morning ray,
Shall spring your health and light;
Before you, righteousness shall shine,
Behind, my glory bright!
Is this a fast for me?
On thee, O Lord our God, we call
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #774 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Nation Fast-Day Lyrics: 1 On thee, O Lord our God, we call,
Before thy throne devoutly fall;
Oh, whither should the helpless fly?
To whom but thee direct their cry?
2 Lord, we repent, we weep, we mourn,
To our forsaken God we turn;
Oh, spare our guilty country, spare
The church thine hand hath planted here!
3 We plead thy grace, indulgent God!
We plead thy Son's atoning blood;
We plead thy gracious promises;
And are they unavailing pleas?
4 These pleas, presented at thy throne,
Have brought ten thousand blessings down
On guilty lands in helpless woe:
Let them prevail to save us, too. Scripture: Isaiah 26:9
On thee, O Lord our God, we call
