My Country, 'Tis of Thee

Author: Samuel Francis Smith Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #567 (1926) Topics: Occasional Citizenship; Citizenship 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 Thee we sing: Long may our land be bright With freedom's holy light; Protect us by Thy might, Great God, our King.

May every tongue Be turned to praise, And join to raise A grateful song. 3 Earth! hear thy Maker's voice, The great Redeemer own; Believe, obey, rejoice, And worship Him alone. Cast down thy pride, Thy sin deplore, And bow before The Crucified. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GODRIC

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

Author: Henry W. Longfellowm 1807-1882 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #40 (2006) Topics: Citizenship, Christian Lyrics: 1 I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace of earth, goodwill to men. 2 I thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along th'unbroken song Of peace on earth, goodwill to men. 3 And in despair I bowed my head: "There is no peace on earth," I said, "For hate is strong, and mocks the song Of peace on earth, goodwill to men." 4 Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: "God is not dead, nor doth He sleep; The wrong shall fail, the right prevail, With peace on earth, goodwill to men." 5 Till, ringing, singing on its way, The world revolved from night to day A voice, a chime, a chant sublime, Of peace on earth, goodwill to men! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: WALTHAM (Doane)

As the Voice of Many Waters

Author: Edward A. Collier Hymnal: Consecrated Hymns #137 (1902) Topics: Citizenship Lyrics: 1 “As the voice of many waters,” God of Nations, be our praise, For the patriot sons and daughters Of our grand, heroic days; For the fathers, freedom gaining With their lifeblood as the price; For the brave, our flag maintaining At an equal sacrifice. 2 Righteous law and truth upholden— Free in person, speech and creed— Free, yet bound by precept golden— This is liberty indeed. O, ye bells, from tow’r and steeple, This “proclaim thro’ all the land; Ring it out, till ev’ry people For their rights as freemen stand! 3 Round our heart-stones and Thine altars, God of Nations, may there be Loyalty that never falters; Hearts made strong by trust in Thee! Strong in union now and ever, Crowning what our sires began; Strong to suffer and endeavor For the equal rights of man! 4 When must sound the bugle’s rally And the larum of the drum; When from ev’ry hill and valley Tramping legions shout—“We come;” God of Battles, King all glorious, Then do Thou our country save! On the land and sea victorious, Let the Stars and Stripes still wave. Languages: English Tune Title: [As the voice of many waters]
