Hail the day that brought our freedom

Author: Wm. Hunter Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #783 (1873) Topics: The Christian Nation Patriotism Lyrics: 1 Hail the day that bought our freedom, Bought with our forefathers' blood; Thou, our conquering God, didst lead them Through the flame and through the flood. Independence! Echo it through field and flood. 2 Lo! their happy sons and daughters, On this glad and festal day, By the springs of limpid waters, O'er the hills and valleys stray. Independence! Chorus still of every lay. 3 Here we, in thy presence bending, Happiest of the happy throngs, Up to heaven our prayers are sending-- Up to heaven our rapturous songs. Independence! Swells the triumph, and prolongs. 4 Oh! thou God of our salvation, Who dost blessings richly shower Let us make our Declaration In this spirit-stirring hour. Independence! From the tyrant Satan's power. 5 Father! oh, prepare us better For the blessings richly given; Break off every sinful fetter, Purge out every sinful leaven. Independence! Then shall clear our path to heaven.

Hail, our country's natal morn!

Author: Gilman Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #784 (1873) Topics: The Christian Nation Patriotism Lyrics: 1 Hail, our country's natal morn! Hail, our spreading kindred born Hail, thou banner, not yet torn, Waving o'er the free! While this day, in festal throng, Millions swell the patriot's song, Shall not we the notes prolong? Hallowed jubilee! 2 Who would sever freedom's shrine? Who would draw the invidious line? Though by birth one spot be mind, Dear is all the rest-- Dear to me the South's fair land, Dear the central mountain band, Dear New England's rocky strand, Dear the prairied West. 3 By our altars pure and free, By our law's deep-rooted tree, By the past's dread memory, By our Washington-- By our common kindred tongue, By our hopes--bright, buoyant, young, By the tie of country strong, We will still be one. 4 Fathers! have ye bled in vain? Ages, must ye droop again? Maker, shall we rashly stain Blessings sent by thee? No! receive our solemn vow, While before thy throne we bow, Ever to maintain as now, Union--Liberty!

Loud raise the notes of joy

Manhood and hoary age, Let naught your joy assuage, In the high theme engage, Praises prolong! 3 God of our fathers' land! Long may our temples stand Sacred to thee! Let thy bright light divine On all the people shine, Make us for ever thine, From sin set free!

May freedom speed onward, wherever the blood

Author: Whittier Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #800 (1873) Meter: 12.12.12.12 Topics: The Christian Nation Freedom Lyrics: 1 May freedom speed onward, wherever the blood Of the wronged and the guiltless is crying to God; Wherever from kindred, torn rudely apart, Comes the sorrowful wait of the broken of heart. 2 Wherever the shackles of tyranny bind In silence and darkness the God-given mind, There, Lord, speed it onward! the truth shall be felt, The bonds shall be loosened, the iron will melt. 3 Help us turn from the cavil of words, to unite Once again for the poor in defense of the right, Unappalled by the danger, the shame, or the pain, And counting each trial for truth as our gain.

Oh, fairest-born of Love and Light!

Author: Whittier Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #806 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Nation Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 Oh, fairest-born of Love and Light! Yet bending brow and eye severe On all which pains the holy sight, Or wounds the pure and perfect ear-- 2 Beneath thy broad, impartial eye, How fade the lines of caste and birth! How equal in their sufferings lie The groaning multitudes of earth! 3 Still to a stricken brother true, Whatever clime hath nourished him; As stooped to heal the wounded Jew, The worshiper of Gerizim. 4 In holy words which can not die, In thoughts which angels learned to know, Christ gave thy message from on high, Thy mission to a world of woe. 5 That voice's echo hath not died; From the blue lake of Galilee, From Tabor's lonely mountain-side, It calls a struggling world to thee.
