Children of a free-born race
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #794 (1873) Topics: The Christian Nation Patriotism Lyrics: 1 Children of a free-born race,
Happy in your dwelling-place,
As your blessings ye retrace,
Think from whence they flow:
Think of that Creative Hand,
Author of the sea and land,
By whose power the nations stand
In their weal or woe.
2 Here are freedom, health, and peace;
Here oppression's surges cease;
Streams of knowledge here increase,
Deepening far and wide:
Science here her tribute pours,
Industry collects her stores,
Wealth flows in from foreign shores
Like a swelling tide.
3 Here, religion undefiled,
With an influence pure and mild,
Reaches to the humblest child,
E'en from door to door:
Let us then our offerings bring,
Thanks unto the heavenly King;
From the heart his praises sing
Now and evermore.
Children of a free-born race
Parent of all, omnipotent!
Author: Aspland's Col. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #795 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Nation Patriotism Lyrics: 1 Parent of all, omnipotent!
In heaven and earth below!
Through all creation's vast extent,
Whose streams of goodness flow:
2 Teach me to know from whence I rose,
And unto what designed;
No private aims may I propose,
That injure human kind.
3 To hear my country's lawful voice,
May my best thoughts incline;
'Tis reason's law, 'tis virtue's choice,
'Tis nature's call, and thine.
4 Me from fair freedom's sacred cause
May nothing e'er divide;
Nor grandeur, gold, nor vain applause,
Nor friendship false, misguide.
Parent of all, omnipotent!
