All Ye Who on This Earth do Dwell
Author: Paul Gerhardt; Alfred Ramsey, d. 1926 Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #581 (1941) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Times and Seasons The Nation Lyrics: 1 All ye who on this earth do dwell,
Give thanks and glorify
The Lord whose praises ever swell
In seraph songs on high.
2 Lift up your hearts in praise to God,
Himself best Gift of all,
Who works His wonders all abroad,
Upholding great and small.
3 Since first our life began to be,
He has preserved our frame;
And when man's strength was vanity,
He as our Helper came.
4 Though often we His patience try
And well deserve His frown,
In grace He lays His anger by
And pours new blessings down.
5 'Tis He revives our fainting soul,
Gives joyful hearts to men;
And when great waves of trouble roll,
He drives them back again.
6 May He adorn with precious peace
Our own, our native, land
And crown with joys that never cease
The labors of our hand!
7 Long as we tarry here below
Our saving Health is He;
And when from earth to heaven we go,
May He our Prtion be!
Amen.

May well your love declare,
From foes and fears at rest,
Protected by your care.
For this bright day,
For this fair land--
Gifts of your hand--
Our thanks we pay.

Each vale and forest green,
Shine in your Word's pure light,

And join to raise
A grateful song.

And worship him alone.

Your sin deplore,
And bow before
The Crucified.

From all its rending tombs

And let our hills and valleys shout
Their songs, all praising you.

Renew our Sabbath hours
And piety and virtue bless
Our fathers' home and ours.

Our country we commend.

O God of Earth and Altar
Author: Gilbert Keith Chesterton, 1874-1936 Hymnal: Worship Supplement #784 (1969) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: The Nation 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 thy thunder from us,
But take away our pride.
2 From all that terror teaches,
From lies of tongue and pen,
From all the easy speeches
That comfort cruel men,
From sale and profanation
Of honor and the sword,
From sleep and from damnation,
Deliver us, good Lord!
3 Tie in a living tether
The prince and priest and thrall,*
Bind all our lives together,
Smite us and save us all;
In ire and exultation
Aflame with faith, and free,
Lift up a living nation,
A single sword to thee. Amen.

Shine, mighty God, on Zion shine
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.LXVII (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Nation's Prosperity, and the Church's Increase Lyrics: 1 Shine, mighty God, on Zion shine,
With beams of heav'nly grace;
Reveal thy pow'r thro' all our coasts,
And show thy smiling face.
2 [Amidst our realm exalted high
Do thou our glory stand,
And like a wall of guardian fire
Surround the fav'rite land.]
3 When shall thy name from shore to shore
Sound all the earth abroad;
And distant nations know and love
Their Saviour and their God.
4 Sing to the Lord, ye distant lands,
Sing loud with solemn voice;
Let ev'ry tongue exalt his praise,
And ev'ry heart rejoice.
5 He the great Lord, the sov'reign Judge,
That sits enthron'd above,
In wisdom rules the worlds he made,
And bids them taste his love.
6 Earth shall obey his high command,
And yield a full increase:
Our God will crown his chosen land
With fruitfulness and peace.
7 God, the Redeemer scatters round
His choicest favours here,
While the creation's utmost bound
Shall see, adore, and fear. Scripture: Psalm 67 Languages: English

Peace prayed for

Now o'erwhelmed with sin and shame,
Deign, mighty God, once more to smile;
The same thy power, thy grace the same.
2 Let peace descend with balmy wing,
And all its blessings round her shed;
Her liberties be well secur'd,
And commerce raise its fainting head:
3 Let the loud cannon cease to roar,
The warlike trump no longer sound;
The din of arms be heard no more,
Nor human blood pollute the ground.
4 Let hostile troops from their hands,
The useless sword, the glittering spear;
And join in friendship's sacred bands,
Nor one dissentient voice be there.
5 Thus save, O Lord, a sinking land,
Millions of tongues shall then adore,
Resound the honors of thy name,
From spread thy praise from shore to shore. Languages: English

Hymnal: Glory to God #329 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Life of the Nations First Line: God is our refuge and our strength Lyrics: 1 God is our refuge and our strength,
our ever-present aid,
and therefore, though the earth be moved,
we will not be afraid;
2 Though hills amid the seas be cast,
though foaming waters roar,
yea, though the mighty billows shake
the mountains on the shore.
3 Where God abides a river flows;
that city will rejoice.
But nations fear and kingdoms shake
before God's thundering voice.
4 Since God is in the midst of it,
the city walls shall stand,
secure and safe with God's sure help,
when trouble is at hand.

Gracious, mighty, sov'reign Lord!
God of nations, King of kings,
Head of all created things;
By the Church with joy confessed;
God o'er all forever blest;
Pleading at Thy throne we stand,
Save Thy people, bless our land!
2. From all public sin and shame,
From ambition's grasping aim,
From rebellion, war, and death,
From the pestilential breath,
From dread famine's awful stroke,
From oppression's galling yoke,
From the judgments of Thy hand;
Spare Thy people, spare our land!
3. Let our rulers ever be
Men that love and honor Thee;
Let the pow'rs by Thee ordained,
Be in righteousness maintained;
In the people's hearts increase
Love of piety and peace;
Thus united we shall stand
One wide, free, and happy land!
