O Lord, our fathers oft have told
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #419 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Public and National Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our fathers oft have told,
In our attentive ears,
Thy wonders in their days perform'd,
And in more ancient years.
2 ’Twas not their courage, nor their sword,
To them salvation gave;
’Twas not their number, nor their strength
That did their country save.
3 But thy right hand, thy pow'rful arm;
Whose succor they implor'd—
Thy Providence protected those,
Who thy great name ador'd.
4 As thee, their God, our fathers own'd,
So thou art still our King;
O therefore, as thou didst to them,
To us deliv'rance bring.
5 To thee, the glory we'll ascribe,
From whom salvation came;
In God our shield we will rejoice,
And ever bless thy name.

O Lord, our fathers oft have told
Now may the God of grace and pow'r
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #420 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Public and National Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 Now may the God of grace and pow'r
Attend his people’s humble cry;
Defend them in the needful hour,
And send deliv'rance from on high.
2 In his salvation is our hope;
And in the name of Israel’s God,
Our troops shall lift their banners up
Our navies spread their flags abroad.
3 Some trust in horses train'd for war,
And some of chariots make their boasts;
Our surest expectations are
From thee, the Lord of heav’nly hosts.
4 Now save us, Lord, from slavish fear;
Now let our hope be firm and strong;
Till the salvation shall appear,
And hymns of peace conclude our song. Languages: English
Now may the God of grace and pow'r
Great framer of unnumber'd worlds
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #421 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Public and National Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 Great framer of unnumber'd worlds,
And whom unnumber'd worlds adore!
Thy goodness all thy creatures share,
And nature trembles at thy pow'r.
2 While suppliant crowds implore thine aid,
To thee we raise the humble cry:
Thine alter is the contrite heart;
Thine incense a repentant sigh.
3 But if injustice grind the poor,
Or av'rice stain the sordid hand,
Or stern ambition thirst for blood,
Or rude oppression waste the land:
4 The God, who hears the orphan's cry,
The martyr's pray'r, and pris'ner's groan,
Still list'ning to the poor opprest,
Would spurn th' oppressor from him throne.
5 Yet, though enormous crimes abound,
Should but a genuine sorrow rise;
And, as new troubles threaten round
'Midts wasting wars and angry skies,
6 Should, in her sober hour, our land
Confess thy hand and bless the rod:
Thou still wouldst love to be her friend,
Who lov'd to own thee as her God. Languages: English
Great framer of unnumber'd worlds
When Abrah'm, full of sacred awe
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #422 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Public and National Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 When Abrah'm, full of sacred awe,
Before Jehovah stood,
And with an humble fervent pray'r,
For guilty Sodom sued;
2 With what success, what wondrous grace,
Was his petitions crown'd!
The Lord would spare, if in the place
Ten righteous men were found.
3 And could a single, pious soul
So rich a boon obtain?
Good God! and shall a nation cry,
And plead with thee in vain?
4 Are not the righteous dear to thee,
Now, as in ancient times?
Or does this sinful land exceed
Gomorrah in its crimes!
5 Still are we thine, we bear thy name,
Here yet is thine abode.
Long has thy presence blest our land:
Forsake us not, O God!
6 O may our people, rulers, priests,
Thy choicest blessings share;
And know thee by that glorious name,
"The God who heareth pray'r!"

Which we have long implor'd;
And, for thy wondrous mercies sake,
Thy wonted aid afford.
2 God's answer patiently I'll wait;
For he, with glad success,
If they no more to folly turn,
His morning saints will bless.
3 To all, that fear his holy name,
His sure salvation's near;
And in its former happy state,
Our nation shall appear.
4 Truth from the earth shall spring, whilst heav'n
Shall streams of justice pour;
And God, from whom all blessings flow,
Shall endless plenty show'r.

Praise to the Lord, who bows his ear
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #424 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Public and National Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 Praise to the Lord, who bows his ear
Propitious to his people's pray'r;
And, though deliv'rance long delay,
Answers in his well chosen day.
2 Salvation doth to God belong;
His pow'r and grace shall be our song;
The tribute of our love we bring
To thee our Saviour and our King.
3 O temples, guarded from the flame,
Shall echo thy triumphant name;
And ev'ry peaceful private home
To thee a temple shall become.
4 Still be it our supreme delight
To walk us in thy honour'd sight;
Still in thy precepts and thy fear
Till life's last hour, to persevere.
5 O when shall time the period bring,
When peace shall stretch her balmy wing
O'er ev'ry land and ev'ry shore,
And raging war shall waste no more!

Had not the Lord, may Israel say
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #425 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Public and National Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 Had not the Lord, may Isr'el say,
Had not the Lord maintain'd our side,
When men, to make our lives a prey,
Rose like the swelling of the tide;
2 The swelling tide had stopt our breath,
So fiercely did the waters roll,
We had been swallow'd up in death;
Proud waters had o'erwhelmed our soul.
3 For ever blessed be the Lord,
Who broke the fowlers' deadly snare;
Who sav'd us from the threat'ning sword,
And made our lives his watchful care.
4 Our help is in Jehovah's name,
Who form'd the earth and built the skies;
Who still upholds all nature's frame
And guards his church with watchful eyes.

Now let our songs address the God of peace
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #426 (1814) Meter: Irregular Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Public and National Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 Now let our songs address the God of peace,
Who bids the tumult of the battle cease;
The pointed spears to pruning hooks he bends,
And the broad falchion in the plough-share ends.
His pow'rful word unites contending nations
In kind embrace and friendly salutations.
2 While we beneath our vines and fig-trees sit,
Or thus within thy sacred temple meet,
Accept, great God! the tribute of our song,
And all the mercies of this day prolong.
Then spread thy peaceful word thro' ev'ry nation,
That all the earth may hail thy great salvation. Languages: English

Peace! the welcome sound proclaim
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #427 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Public and National Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 Peace! the welcome sound proclaim;
Dwell with rapture on the theme.
Loud, still louder swell the strain:
Peace on earth! good-will to men!
2 Breezes! whisp'ring soft and low,
Gently murmur as ye blow,
Now, when was and discord cease,
Praises to the God of peace.
3 Ocean's billows far and wide,
Rolling in majestic pride!
Loud, still louder swell the strain:
Peace on earth! good-will to men!
4 Vocal songsters of the grove!
Sweetly chant in notes of love,
Now, when war and discord cease,
Praises to the God of peace.
5 Mortals, who these blessings feel!
Christians who before him kneel!
Loud, still louder swell the strain:
Peace of earth, good-will to men!

And will the great eternal God
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #428 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances For a Congregation Lyrics: 1 And will the great eternal God
On earth establish his abode?
And will he, from his radiant throne,
Regard our temples for his own?
2 We bring the tribute of our praise;
And sing that condescending grace,
Which to our notes will lend an ear,
And call us sinful mortals near.
3 Our Father's watchful care we bless,
Which guards our house of pray'r in peace,
That no tumultuous foes invade,
To fill the worshippers with dread.
4 These walls we to thy honour raise;
Long may they echo with thy praise;
And thou, descending, fill the place
With choicest tokens of thy grace.
5 And in the great decisive day,
When God the nations shall survey,
May it before the world appear
That crowds were born to glory here!
Languages: English
And will the great eternal God
