Sing with a joyful noise;
With melody of sound record

"Sinners before thy presence fly,
"Or at thy feet they bow."
3 [Come see the wonders of our God,
How glorious are his ways?
In Moses hand he puts his rod,
And clave the frighted seas.
4 He made the ebbing channel dry,
While Israel pass'd the flood;
There did the church begin their joy,
And triumph in their God.]
5 He rules by his resistless might:
Will rebel mortals dare
Provoke th’ Eternal to the fight,
And tempt that dreadful war.
6 Oh bless our God, and never cease;
Ye saints, fulfil his praise;
He keeps our life, maintains our peace,
And guides our doubtful ways.
7 Lord, thou hast prov'd our suffering souls,
To make our graces shine;
So silver bears the burning coals,
The metal to refine.
8 Through watery deeps and fiery ways
We march at thy command,
Led to possess the promis'd place
By thine unerring hand. Scripture: Psalm 66 Languages: English

O say can you see, by the dawn's early light
Author: F. S. Key Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #198 (1920) Topics: Holy Days National Days 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 to gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's 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 vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-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
Once to every man and nation
Author: Dr. James Russell Lowell, 1819-1891 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #403 (1917) Topics: National Righteousness; Righteousness National Lyrics: 1 Once to every man and nation
Comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of truth with falsehood,
For the good or evil side;
Some great cause, God's new Messiah,
Offering each the bloom or blight;
And the choice goes by for ever
'Twixt that darkness and that light.
2 Then to side with truth is noble,
When we share her wretched crust,
Ere her cause bring fame and profit,
And 'tis prosperous to be just;
Then it is the brave man chooses,
While the coward stands aside,
Till the multitude make virtue
Of the faith they had denied.
3 By the light of burning martyrs
Christ's own bleeding feet I track,
Toiling up new Calvaries ever
With the cross that turns not back.
New occasions teach new duties;
Time makes ancient good uncouth:
They must upward still and onward
Who would keep abreast of truth.
4 Though the cause of evil prosper,
Yet 'tis truth alone is strong;
Though her portion be the scaffold,
And upon the throne be wrong:
Yet that scaffold sways the future,
And, behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow,
Keeping watch above His own.

In vain opposing nations rage
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #414 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Public and National Blessings and Afflictions; National security from God Lyrics: 1 In vain opposing nations rage,
If God with us abide:
One word of his dissolves their strength,
And humbles all their pride.
2 His wisdom sees correction meet;
He gives the dread command,
And war its desolation spreads
Through ev'ry trembling land.
3 His purpose wrought, again he speaks,
And desolations cease;
War's loud alarms are heard no more,
And all the world is peace.
4 Mortals, adore his sov'reign pow'r,
Nor dare provoke his rod:
Through all your various tribes be still,
And know that he is God.

From Thy temple in the skies
Hear Thy people's supplications;
Now for their deliv'rance rise.

Long and loud for vengeance call,
Thou hast mercy more abounding;
Jesus' blood can cleanse them all.
3 Let that love veil our transgression,
Let that blood our guilt efface;
Save Thy people from oppression,
Save from spoil Thy holy place.
4 Lo! with deep contrition turning,
Humbly at Thy feet we bend;
Hear us, fasting, praying, mourning,
Hear us, spare us, and defend. Languages: English
Dread Jehovah! God of nations!
O Say, Can You See (The Star-Spangled Banner)
Author: Frances Scott Key, 1779-1834 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #570 (2011) Meter: Irregular with refrain Topics: National First Line: O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light Refrain First Line: O say, does that Star-spangled Banner yet wave 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 the Star-Spangled Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
2 On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dead silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream;
'Tis the Star-Spangled Banner; O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
3 And where is that band, who so vauntingly swore,
'Mid the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country they'd leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution;
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave,
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
4 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. Scripture: Psalm 33:12 Languages: English Tune Title: NATIONAL ANTHEM
