The Star-Spangled Banner
Author: Francis Scott Key Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #423 (1990) Meter: Irregular Topics: God in Society National Life; National Life First Line: O say, can you see 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 starst through the perilous fight,
o'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
2 O thus be it ever, when free men shall stand
between their loved homes and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
praise the Power that hath made and preserved 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!

O God of love, whose heart is ever yearning

that fixed on you our wayward thoughts may be,
now grant us grace to live as in your presence,
and help us all our erring ways to see.
May love subdue the ill in every nation,
and all to you as subjects bow the knee.
2 O Father God, moved ever by compassion
for children crushed by sorrows heavy load
be swift to aid the downcast and the cheerless,
lift up the fallen on life's thorny road.
Give calm and strength to overcome with patience,
and safely bring them to your blest abode.
3 O God of peace, whose Son with our sins laden
died to secure from bondage our release,
help us to banish hate between the nations,
to live as neighbours, and make wars to cease.
Bring in the reign of friendship universal,
and in your mercy grant to us your peace. Scripture: Isaiah 53:2-6 Languages: English Tune Title: FINLANDIA

Here us for our motherland
Author: Frederick A. Jackson, 1867- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #417 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God National Life First Line: Where the flag of Britain flies Lyrics: 1 Where the flag of Britain flies,
In the lands across the seas,
Under dark or smiling skies,
In the arm or wintry breeze,
Lord of hosts, Thy sovereign hand
Over all our comrades be;
Hear us for our motherland
And the lands across the sea.
2 Far and wide Thy word be known,
On Thy love, Lord, let us wait;
Let the empire be Thine own,
By Thy gentleness made great.
By Thy will alone we stand,
We are strong alone in Thee;
Hear us for our motherland
And the lands across the sea.
3 Through the empire spread Thy light,
Over all shed Thou Thy calm;
Arm us for our heavenly fight,
By the oak, the pine, the palm;
One world-wide confederate band,
May we all be one in Thee!
Hear us for our motherland
And the lands across the sea. Languages: English Tune Title: SHAROW GRANGE

God of our fathers, known of old
Author: Rudyard Kipling, 1865- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #419a (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God National Life Lyrics: 1 God of our fathers, known of old,
Lord of our far-flung battle line,
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine:
Lord God of hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget.
2 The tumult and the shouting dies;
The captains and the kings depart;
Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and a contrite heart:
Lord God of hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget.
3 Far called our navies melt away,
On dune and headland sinks the fire;
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!
Judge of the nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget.
4 If, drunk with sight of power, we loose
Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe,
Such boastings as the Gentiles use,
Or lesser breeds without the law:
Lord God of hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget.
5 For heathen heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard;
All valiant dust that builds on dust,
And guarding calls not Thee to guard:
For frantic boast and foolish word,
Thy mercy on Thy people, Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: RECESSIONAL
