To Thee our God we fly

Author: W. Walsham How Hymnal: The Hymnal #182 (1916) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Topics: National Days Lyrics: To thee our God we fly For mercy and for grace; O hear our lowly cry And hide not thou thy face. Arise, O Lord of hosts; Be jealous for thy Name, And drive from out our coasts The sins that put to shame. Thy best gifts from on high In rich abundance pour That we may magnify And praise thee more and more. The powers ordained by thee, With heavenly wisdom bless; May they thy servants be, And rule in righteousness. The Church of thy dear Son Inflame with love's pure fire, Bind her once more in one, And life and truth inspire. Give peace, Lord, in our time; O let no foe draw nigh, Nor lawless deed of crime Insult thy Majesty. O Lord, stretch forth thy mighty hand, And guard and bless our fatherland. Amen.

My country, 'tis of thee

Smith Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #191 (1920) Topics: Holy Days National Days 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 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.

Safe upon the billowy deep

Author: Henry Coppée Hymnal: The Hymnal #417 (1916) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Sunday Schools National Days Lyrics: Safe upon the billowy deep, Loving Lord, thy servants keep; Helpless, trusting pilgrims they, Guard them on their watery way. In the morning fill their sails, Mid the dark send favouring gales; If their sky be overcast, Calm the waves, and still the blast. Let thy sunshine guide by day; Send at eve the starry ray; Through the watches of the night, Be thou, Lord, their shining light. Thus, as hour by hour rolls by, Watch them with thy sleepless eye: Guide with thine almighty hand Safe unto the haven-land. 380 And at last, life's voyage o'er, Take us to the heavenly shore, Safe in port, to dwell with thee Where there shall be "no more sea." Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: LEW TRENCHARD
