God bless our Native Land
Author: C. T. Brooks; J. S. Dwight Appears in 667 hymnals Topics: Temperance and National National Lyrics: 1 God bless our native land,
Firm may she ever stand,
Through storm and night;
When the wild tempests rave,
Ruler of wind and wave,
Do Thou our country save
By Thy great might.
2 For her our prayers shall rise
To God, above the skies;
On Him we wait;
Thou Who art ever nigh,
Guarding with watchful eye,
To Thee aloud we cry,
God save the state. Used With Tune: AMERICA
God bless our Native Land
O say can you see, by the dawn's early light
Author: Francis Scott Key, 1779-1843 Meter: Irregular Appears in 445 hymnals Topics: National Songs Lyrics: 1 O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
o'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
2 O thus be it ever, when free men shall stand
between their loved homes and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
and this be our motto, "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

O say can you see, by the dawn's early light
To Thee our God we fly
Author: W. Walsham How Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 91 hymnals 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.

Brightest and Best
Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Meter: 11.10.11.10 with refrain Appears in 912 hymnals Topics: Nation First Line: Brightest and best of the stars of the morning Refrain First Line: Brightest and best of the stars of the morning Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the stars of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid;
Star of the east, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
Refrain:
Brightest and best of the stars of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid;
Star of the east, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
2 Cold on his cradle the dewdrops are shining,
Low lies his head with the beasts of the stall;
Angels adore him in slumber reclining,
Maker and Monarch and Savior of all. [Refrain]
3 Shall we then yield him, in costly devotion,
Odors of Edom, and off'rings divine,
Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean,
Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine? [Refrain]
4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
Vainly with gifts would His favor secure,
Richer by far is the heart’s adoration,
Dearer to God are the pray'rs of the poor. [Refrain]
5 Brightest and best of the stars of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid;
Star of the east, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. [Refrain] Scripture: Matthew 2 Used With Tune: STAR IN THE EAST

Judge Eternal, Throned in Splendor
Author: Henry Scott Holland Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 108 hymnals Topics: The Life of the Nations Lyrics: 1 Judge Eternal, throned in splendor,
Lord of lords and King of kings,
with your living fire of judgment
purge this land of bitter things;
solace all its wide dominion
with the healing of your wings.
2 Still the weary folk are pining
for the hour that brings release,
and the city’s crowded clangor
cries aloud for sin to cease,
and the homesteads and the woodlands
plead in silence for their peace.
3 Crown, O God, your own endeavor;
cleave our darkness with your sword;
feed the faithless and the hungry
with the richness of your word;
cleanse the body of this nation
through the glory of the Lord.

Praise, happy land! Jehovah's name
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Public and national Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 Praise, happy land! Jehovah's name;
His goodness, and thy bliss proclaim:
For thee each blessing largely flows,
That freedom's lib'ral hand bestows.
2 Thy children are secure and blest;
Thy shores have peace, thy cities rest;
He feeds thy sons with finest wheat,
And adds his blessing to their meat.
3 Thy changing seasons he ordains,
Thine early and thy latter rains;
His flakes of snow like wool he sends,
And well the springing corn defends.
4 But he hath nobler works and ways,
To call his people to his praise:
To all our land his laws are shown;
His gospel's through the nation known.
Praise, happy land! Jehovah's name
