When Abraham, full of sacred awe

Author: Rippon's Coll. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Fast-Day Lyrics: 1 When Abraham, full of sacred awe, Before Jehovah stood, And, with an humble, fervent prayer, For guilty Sodom sued. 2 With what success, what wondrous grace, Was his petition crowned! The Lord would spare, if in this place Ten righteous men were found. 3 And could a single pious soul So rich a boon obtain? Great 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 her crimes? 5 Still we are thine; we bear thy name; Here yet is thine abode: Long has thy presence blest our land: Forsake us not, O God.

God of our fathers, let thy face

Author: Samuel Wolcott Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Patriotism Lyrics: 1 God of our fathers, let thy face Toward the Republic ever be! Encompass it with strength and grace, And law combine with liberty. 2 Unto our President impart Sustaining trust, discerning sight, The homage of the loyal heart, The steadfast courage for the right. 3 Within our Congress let the fire Of patriotic love abide; Its counsels lead, its acts inspire, And in the nation's halls preside. 4 Upon our Judges let the seal Of thy divine anointing be-- The wisdom calm, the righteous zeal, The robes of truth and equity. 5 God of our fathers, let thy face Toward the Republic ever be! Encompass it with strength and grace, And law combine with liberty.

Nature hath seasons of repose

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 Nature hath seasons of repose; Her slumbering clouds and quiet sky; And many a bright-faced stream that flows Onward for ever noiselessly. 2 The stormy winds are hushed to rest, And hang self-poised upon their wings; And, nursed on mother nature's breast, Sweet flowers lie like sleeping things. 3 The ocean, that in mountains ran, Spreads boundlessly without a wave; And is it only said of man, His peace is in the gloomy grave? 4 Oh, for the coming of the end, The last long Sabbath-day of time, When peace from heaven shall descend Like heaven's own light, on every clime. 5 When men in ships far off at sea Shall hear the happy nations raise The song of peace and liberty, The chant of overflowing praise. 6 Mankind shall be one brotherhood; One human soul shall fill the earth; And God shall say, The world is good, As in the day I gave it birth.

Hush the loud cannon's roar

Author: Johnson Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 Hush the loud cannon's road, The frantic warrior's call! Why should the earth be drenched with gore? Are we not brothers all? 2 Want, from the wretch depart! Chains, from the captive fall! Sweet mercy, melt th' oppressor's heart-- Suff'rers are brothers all. 3 Churches and sects, strike down Each mean partition wall! Let love each harsher feeling drown-- Christians are brothers all. 4 Let love and truth alone Hold human hearts in thrall, That heaven its work at length may own, And men be brothers all.

God grant a blessing on this land!

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: The Christian Nation Patriotism Lyrics: 1 God grant a blessing on this land! May this Republic ever stand, A home of peace, a resting-place For earth's oppressed, down-trodden race. 2 On our chief Magistrate bestow Wisdom to guide and power to do; Around him place, in posts of trust, Men who are honest, firm, and just. 3 And may our legislative halls Be filled with men whom duty calls,-- Unselfish, patriotic, pure, To right and country ever sure. 4 With even scales may justice show The rights of all, both high and low; So shall our land from flood to flood, Be that blest land whose King is God.
God grant a blessing on this land!

Is this a fast for me?

Author: Drummond Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Fast-Day Lyrics: 1 Is this a fast for me? Thus saith the Lord our God: A day for man to vex his soul And feel affliction's rod? 2 No; is not this alone The sacred fast I choose-- Oppression's yoke to burst in twain, The bands of guilt unloose? 3 To nakedness and want Your food and raiment deal, To dwell your kindred race among, And all their sufferings heal? 4 Then like the morning ray, Shall spring your health and light; Before you, righteousness shall shine, Behind, my glory bright!

O God, thy righteousness we own

Author: C. Wesley Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Fast-Day Lyrics: 1 O God, thy righteousness we own; Judgment is at thy house begun; With humble awe thy rod we hear, And guilty in thy sight appear; We can not in thy judgment stand, But sink beneath thy mighty hand. 2 Our mouth as in the dust we lay, And still for mercy, mercy pray; Unworthy to behold thy face, Unfaithful stewards of thy grace, Our sin and wickedness we own, And deeply for acceptance groan. 3 We have not, Lord, thy gifts improved, But basely from thy statutes roved; Yet do not drive us from thy face, A stiff-necked and hard-hearted race: The melting power of love impart; Soften the marble of our heart.

Eternal Source of every joy!

Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 375 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 Eternal Source of every joy! Well may thy praise our lips employ, While in thy temple we appear, Whose goodness crowns the circling year. 2 The flowery spring, at thy command, Embalms the air, and paints the land; The summer rays with vigor shine, To raise the corn and cheer the vine. 3 Thy hand, in autumn, richly pours Through all our coasts redundant stores; And winters, softened by thy care, No more a face of horror wear. 4 Seasons and months, and weeks and days, Demand successive songs of praise; Still be the cheerful homage paid, With opening light and evening shade. Scripture: Psalm 33:12
Eternal Source of every joy!

For those in bonds as bound with them

Author: Hastings Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Freedom Lyrics: 1 For those in bonds as bound with them, To thee, O God! we pray That some celestial, radiant beam May bring a brighter day. 2 Pity, O Lord! that injured race, And thy deliverance send; Grant them the treasures of thy grace, And bid their bondage end. 3 They sit in darkness, slow to learn The blessings that they need Nor can our anxious thought discern How best their cause to plead. 4 All helpless, and without a plan, We come before thy throne; We put no confidence in man, But trust in thee alone. 5 The means of rescue, and the hour, Thy mercy will reveal: Thine is the wisdom, thine the power; Teach us to do thy will.

Sigourney Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 God of the year! with songs of praise And hearts of love, we come to bless Thy bounteous hand, for thou hast shed Thy manna o'er our wilderness. 2 In early spring-time thou didst fling O'er earth its robe of blossoming; And its sweet treasures, day by day, Rose quickening in thy blessed ray. 3 God of the seasons! thou hast blest The land with sunlight and with showers, And plenty o'er its bosom smiles To crown the sweet autumnal hours. 4 Praise, praise to thee! our hearts expand To view these blessings of thy hand, And on the incense-breath of love Ascend to their bright home above.
