O Beautiful for Spacious Skies
Author: Katharine Lee Bates Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #720 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Times and Seasons National Songs; God's World Times and Seasons: National Songs Lyrics: 1 O beautiful for spacious skies,
for amber waves of grain;
for purple mountain majesties
above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed full grace on thee,
and crown thy good with servanthood
from sea to shining sea.
2 O beautiful for heroes proved
in liberating strife,
who more than self their country loved,
and mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine,
till all success be nobleness,
and every gain divine.
3 O beautiful for patriot dream
that sees beyond the years
thine alabaster cities gleam,
undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
confirm thy soul in self-control,
thy liberty in law. Languages: English Tune Title: MATERNA

My Country, 'Tis of Thee
Author: Samuel Francis Smith Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #721 (1995) Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Topics: Times and Seasons National Songs; God's World Times and Seasons: 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.
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. Languages: English Tune Title: AMERICA

O God of Earth and Altar
Author: Gilbert K.h Chesterton; Jane Parker Huber Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #724 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Times and Seasons National Songs; God's World Times and Seasons: National Songs Lyrics: 1 O God of earth and altar,
bow down and hear our cry;
our earthly rulers falter,
our people drift and die;
the walls of gold entomb us,
the swords of scorn divide;
take not your thunder from us,
but take away our pride.
2 From all that terror teaches,
from lies of pen and tongue,
from all the easy speeches
that soothe in our wrong,
from sale and profanation
of honor and the sword,
from sleep and from damnation,
deliver us, good Lord!

O God, our help in ages past
For a time of general Sickness
Author: Leech Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DXXXIX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Times and Seasons Sickness First Line: Death, with his dread commission seal'd Lyrics: 1 Death, with his dread commission seal'd,
Now hastens to his arms:
In awful state he takes the field,
And sounds his dire alarms.
2 Attendant plagues around him stand,
And wait his dread command;
And pains, and dying groans obey
The signal of his hand.
3 With cruel force, he scatters round
His shafts of deadly power;
While the grave waits its disten'd prey,
Impatient to devour.
4 Look up, ye heirs of endless joy,
Nor let your fears prevail;
Eternal life is our reward,
When life on earth shall fail.
5 What tho' his darts, promiscous hurl'd,
Deal fatal plagues around;
And heaps of putrid carcases
O'erload the cumber'd ground;
6 The arrows, that shall wound your flesh,
Were giv'n him from above,
Dipt in the great redeemer's blood,
And feather'd all with love.
7 These, with a gentle hand, he throws,
And saints lie gasping too;
But heavenly strength supports their souls,
And bears them conquerors thro'.
8 Joyful they stretch their wings abroad,
And all in triumph rise,
To the fair palace of their God,
And mansions in the skies. Languages: English

Youth
Hymnal: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns #CLXXXVI (1793) Topics: Times and Seasons First Line: Lure' by the fading joys of time Lyrics: 1 Lur'd by the fading joys of time,
To run in Folly's ways;
Urg'd by gay youth in all its prime,
And grasping future days:
2 Attend the whisper of a friend,
O lend a serious ear!
Soon will the flatt'ring vision end,
Nor can the prospect cheer.
3 Would'st thou unmingl'd pleasres prove,
Or lasting joys embrace,
Turn at the voice of heav'nly love,
And seek the Saviour's face.
4 Life and immortal comforts wait
The soul that knows his word;
And they who enter Wisdom's gate,
Find favour with the Lord.
5 Riches and righteousness are theirs
For ever to enjoy;
His love forbids their anxious cares,
His praise is their employ.
6 Nor only in this world of woe
Are these enjoyments giv'n;
For those who walk with Christ below,
Shall regin with him in heav'n.
7 A gracious Lord thy soul invites,
His tender accents hear;
So shalt thou share his pure delights,
And triumph o'er thy fear. Languages: English

An evening Hymn
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CDXCVII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Times and Seasons Evening First Line: Now from the altar of our hearts Lyrics: 1 Now, from the altar of our hearts,
Let flames of love arise;
Assist us, Lord, to offer up
Our evening sacrifice.
2 Minutes and mercies multiply'd,
Have made up all this day;
Minutes came quick, but mercies were
More swift and free than they.
3 New time, new favor, and new joys,
Do a new song require:
'Till we shall praise thee as we would,
Accept our hearts desire.
4 Lord of our days, whose hand hath set,
New time upon our score;
Thee may we praise for all our time,
When time shall be no more.
