I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

Author: Henry W. Longfellowm 1807-1882 Appears in 118 hymnals 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. Used With Tune: WALTHAM (Doane)

America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood, From sea to shining sea! 2 O beautiful for pilgrim feet, Whose stern, impassioned stress A thoroughfare for freedom beat Across the wilderness! America! America! God mend thine every flaw, Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law! 3 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! 4 O beautiful for patriot dream That sees beyond the years Thine alabaster cities gleam, Undimmed by human tears! America! America! God shed His grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea! Amen. Used With Tune: MATERNA

Hope of the World

Author: Georgia Harkness, b. 1891 Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: Citizenship, Christian Lyrics: 1 Hope of the world, Thou Christ of great compassion, Speak to our fearful hearts, by conflict rent. Save us, Thy people, from consuming passion, Who by our own false hopes and aims are spent. 2 Hope of the world, God's gift from highest heaven, Bringing to hungry souls the bread of life, Still let Thy Spirit unto us be given To heal earth's wounds and end her bitter strife. 3 Hope of the world, afoot on dusty highways, Showing to wandering souls the path of light; Walk Thou beside us, lest the tempting byways Lure us away from Thee to endless night. 4 Hope of the world, who by Thy cross didst save us From death and dark despair, from sin and guilt: We render back the love Thy mercy gave us; Take Thou our lives and use them as Thou wilt. 5 Hope of the world, O Christ, o'er death victorious, Who by this sign did conquer grief and pain, We would be faithful to Thy gospel glorious: Thou art our Lord! Thou dost forever reign! Amen. Used With Tune: ANCIENT OF DAYS
