My Country, 'Tis of Thee

Author: Samuel Francis Smith Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 1,978 hymnals Topics: National Songs 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 every mountainside, 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.

Responsibility of Civil Officers

Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Nations Dependence on God; Nations Present Attitude of First Line: Where'er His creatures gather Lyrics: 1 Where'er His creatures gather The unseen God is near; Let rulers fear their Ruler, Their Judge let judges fear. How long, ye earthly judges, Will ye pervert the right? How long shall wicked persons Have favor in your sight? 2 Do justice for the helpless, The orphan's cause maintain; Defend the poor and needy, Oppressed and wronged for gain. When rulers walk in darkness, When judges truth forsake, The cornerstones are crumbled, The firm foundations shake. 3 The Most High God has called you And set you up on high, But ye to Him must answer, For ye like men must die. Arise, O God Eternal, Thou Judge of all the earth, Thro' all Thy ransomed nations Send now Thy justice forth. Scripture: Psalm 82 Used With Tune: ALGIERS

Lord, on this sadly-solemn day

Author: S. W. Widney Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Fast-Day Lyrics: 1 Lord, on this sadly-solemn day, We bow our souls--we fast and pray; Before our eyes our sins appear, And give us sorrow, shame, and fear. 2 Our private sins of heart and thought, Our words and deeds with errors fraught, Obnoxious to thy holiness, We mourn before thee, and confess. 3 The demon with the poisonous bowl That kills the body--damns the soul-- O'er bleeding bosoms stalks along, With maniac laugh and drunken song. 4 In vain they fast, they pray in vain, Who lift the hands that forget the chain To bind the body or the soul A slave to man or to the bowl. 5 Forgive us, Lord; regard us now, While here we pledge our solemn vow, To shun the vile oppressor's ways, And labor fallen man to raise.

Men! whose boast it is, that ye

Author: Lowell Appears in 61 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Freedom Lyrics: Men! whose boast it is, that ye Come of fathers brave and free, If there breathe on earth a slave, Are ye truly free and brave? If ye do not feel the chain, When it works a brother's pain, Are ye not base slaves, indeed-- Slaves unworthy to be freed? 2 Is true freedom but to break Fetters for our own dear sake, And with leathern hearts forget That we owe mankind a debt? No! true freedom is to share All the chains our brothers wear, And with heart and hand to be Earnest to make others free! 3 They are slaves, who fear to speak For the fallen and the weak; They are slaves, who will not choose Hatred, scoffing, and abuse, Rather than in silence shrink From the truth they needs must think; They are slaves, who dare not be In the right with two or three.
