Lift Every Voice and Sing
Author: James Weldon Johnson, 1871-1938 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #964 (2006) Topics: Nation and National Songs First Line: Lift ev'ry voice and sing Lyrics: 1 Lift ev'ry voice and sing
Till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of liberty.
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the list'ning skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us;
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun
Of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won.
2 Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chast'ning rod
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our parents sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered;
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past,
Till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
3 God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who hast by Thy might
Led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee;
Lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee;
Shadowed beneath Thy hand,
May we forever stand,
True to our God, true to our native land.

Author: Samuel F. Smith Hymnal: Celebrating Grace Hymnal #701 (2010) Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Topics: The Church on Mission National Songs 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 mountainside
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.

Author of liberty,
to Thee we sing:
long may our land be bright
with freedom's holy light;
protect us by Thy might,

for amber waves of grain,
for purple mountain majesties

who more than self their country loved,
and mercy more than life:

till all success be nobleness,
and ev'ry gain divine.

America! America! God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
confirm thy soul in self-control,
thy liberty in law. Languages: English Tune Title: MATERNA

his truth is marching on.
Refrain:
Glory, glory! Hallelujah!
Glory, glory! Hallelujah!
Glory, glory! Hallelujah!

O Say, Can You See
Author: F. S. Key Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #344 (1927) Meter: 11.12.11.12.10.11.11.12 Topics: National Songs First Line: O say can you see, by the dawn's early light Lyrics: 1 O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there;
O say, does the Star-spangled Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
2 On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream;
'Tis the Star-spangled Banner O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
3 And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country shall leave us no more?
Their blood has wash'd out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
And the Star-spangled Banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
4 O thus be it e'er when free men shall stand
Between their lov'd homes and the war's desolation;
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto, "In God is our trust;"
And the Star-spangled Banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! Languages: English Tune Title: THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER

O God of All the Many Lands
Author: Mary S. Edgar, 1889-1973 Hymnal: Catholic Book of Worship III #594 (1994) Topics: National Songs Lyrics: 1 O God of all the many lands,
We praise you joyfully
For this fair land, our Canada,
A country wide and free:
For mountain heights and northern lights,
For prairie, lake and sea,
In gratitude for all these gifts
In their great majesty.
2 We thank you that from many lands
With varied gifts we came,
To pledge our love and loyalty
Where scarlet maples flame.
May justice here belong to all,
And may our nation play
Its rightful role in fost'ring peace,
The peace for which we pray.
3 May we be worthy of our land
And seek the common good,
Which shapes a future destiny
In world and neighborhood.
May this fair land, our Canada,
Your own dominion be.
Your people bless abundantly
With faith from sea to sea. Languages: English Tune Title: ELLACOMBE
