Pour, blessed Gospel, glorious news for man!

Author: Ashworth Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 Pour, blessed Gospel, glorious news for man! Thy stream of life o'er springless deserts roll: Thy bond of peace the mighty earth can span, And make one brotherhood from pole to pole. 2 On, piercing Gospel, on! of every heart, In every latitude, thou own'st the key: From their dull slumbers savage souls shall start, With all their treasures first unlocked by thee. 3 Spread, mighty Gospel, spread thy soaring wings! Gather thy scattered ones from every land: Call home the wanderers to the King of kings; Proclaim them all thine own--'tis Christ's command!

Roll on, thou joyful day

Author: Duncan Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Freedom Lyrics: 1 Roll on, thou joyful day, When tyranny's proud sway, Stern as the grave, Shall to the ground be hurled, And freedom's flag, unfurled, Shall weave throughout the world O'er every slave. 2 Free, too, the captive mind By darkness long confined In slavery's night; The Saviour's reign extend, Virtue with freedom blend, And full salvation send With freedom's light.

All men are equal in their birth

Author: Martineau Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 All men are equal in their birth, Heirs of the earth and skies; All men are equal when that earth Fades from their dying eyes. 2 God meet the throngs who pay their vows In courts that hands have made, And hears the worshiper who bows Beneath the plantain shade. 3 Oh, let man hasten to restore To all their rights of love; In power and wealth exult no more; In wisdom lowly move. 4 Ye great, renounce your earth-born pride; Ye low, your shame and fear; Live, as ye worship, side by side; Your brotherhood revere.

God, to thee we humbly bow

Author: Boker Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation In War Lyrics: 1 God, to thee we humbly bow, Hand unarmed and naked brow; Musket, lance, and sheathed sword At thy feet we lay, O Lord! Gone is all the soldier's boast In the valor of the host: Kneeling here, we do our most. 2 Of ourselves we nothing know: Thou and thou alone canst show, By the favor of thy hand, Who hast drawn the guilty brand. If our foemen have the right, Show thy judgments in our sight, Through the fortunes of the fight. 3 Now, O God, once more we rise, Marching on beneath thy eyes; And we draw the sacred sword In thy name and at thy word. May our spirits clearly see Thee through all that is to be, In defeat or victory.

Hail, our country's natal morn!

Author: Gilman Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Patriotism Lyrics: 1 Hail, our country's natal morn! Hail, our spreading kindred born Hail, thou banner, not yet torn, Waving o'er the free! While this day, in festal throng, Millions swell the patriot's song, Shall not we the notes prolong? Hallowed jubilee! 2 Who would sever freedom's shrine? Who would draw the invidious line? Though by birth one spot be mind, Dear is all the rest-- Dear to me the South's fair land, Dear the central mountain band, Dear New England's rocky strand, Dear the prairied West. 3 By our altars pure and free, By our law's deep-rooted tree, By the past's dread memory, By our Washington-- By our common kindred tongue, By our hopes--bright, buoyant, young, By the tie of country strong, We will still be one. 4 Fathers! have ye bled in vain? Ages, must ye droop again? Maker, shall we rashly stain Blessings sent by thee? No! receive our solemn vow, While before thy throne we bow, Ever to maintain as now, Union--Liberty!

Hail the day that brought our freedom

Independence! Echo it through field and flood. 2 Lo! their happy sons and daughters, On this glad and festal day, By the springs of limpid waters, O'er the hills and valleys stray. Independence! Chorus still of every lay. 3 Here we, in thy presence bending, Happiest of the happy throngs, Up to heaven our prayers are sending-- Up to heaven our rapturous songs. Independence! Swells the triumph, and prolongs. 4 Oh! thou God of our salvation, Who dost blessings richly shower Let us make our Declaration In this spirit-stirring hour. Independence! From the tyrant Satan's power. 5 Father! oh, prepare us better For the blessings richly given; Break off every sinful fetter, Purge out every sinful leaven. Independence! Then shall clear our path to heaven.

Raise thou their lowliness, Succor thou their distress, Thou whom the meanest bless; God save the poor! 3 Give them stanch honesty, Let their pride manly be; God save the poor! Help them to hold the right, Give them both truth and might, Lord of all life and light! God save the poor!

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.

Loud raise the notes of joy

Author: J. G. Adams Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Patriotism Lyrics: 1 Loud raise the notes of joy; Freemen, your songs employ As well ye may; Let your full hearts go out In the exulting shout, And with your praise devout, Greet this glad day! 2 Children of lisping tongue, Those whose full hearts are young, Lift up the song! Manhood and hoary age, Let naught your joy assuage, In the high theme engage, Praises prolong! 3 God of our fathers' land! Long may our temples stand Sacred to thee! Let thy bright light divine On all the people shine, Make us for ever thine, From sin set free!
