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 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

The Lord is near! with Sinai tread

And may our grief thy grace declare, By every Christly cross we bear To bless and make men free.

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

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]

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!

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.
