Protect Us
Author: Rev. Samuel Smith Appears in 1,974 hymnals Topics: Special Occasions Patriotic Hymns First Line: My country, 'tis of thee 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 ev'ry mountain side
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. Used With Tune: AMERICA

Of the op'ning year,
Words of comfort meet us,
Hushing ev'ry fear;
Spoken thro' the silence
By our Father's voice,
Tender, strong, and faithful,
Making us rejoice.

Onward, then, and fear not,
Children of the day;
For His word shall never,
Never pass away.

Be thou not afraid;
I will help and strengthen,
Be thou not dismayed.
Yea, I will uphold thee
With My own right hand;
Thou art called and chosen
In My sight to stand." [Refrain]

Thy precepts holy, and slighted Thy word;
Bid not Thy wrath in its terrors awaken;
Give to us peace, O most merciful Lord.

Yet to eternity standeth Thy word;
Falsehood and wrong shall not tarry beside Thee;
Prosper the right, O most merciful Lord.

For Thy deliv'rance from peril and sword,

Lord, while for all mankind we pray
Christ is our corner-stone
Author: John Chandler (1806-76) Appears in 188 hymnals Topics: Special occasions New buildings Lyrics: 1 Christ is our corner-stone,
On him alone we build;
With his true saints alone
The courts of Heaven are filled.
Our hopes we place on his great love
For present grace and joys above.
2 O then with songs of praise
Make earth and Heaven ring;
Our voices we will raise
The Three in One to sing;
In joyful song we will proclaim
Both loud and long that glorious name.
3 Here, gracious God, do thou
For evermore draw nigh;
Accept each faithful vow,
And mark each suppliant sigh;
On all who pray, in copious shower
Thy wonder-working blessings pour.
4 Here may we gain from Heaven
The grace which we implore;
And may that grace, once given,
Be with us evermore,
Until that day when all the blest
Shall find in thee eternal rest.
