Thou, By Heav'nly Hosts Adored

Author: Henry Harbaugh Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #364 (1929) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Special Occasions The Nation Lyrics: 1. Thou, by heav'nly hosts adored, Gracious, mighty, sov'reign Lord! God of nations, King of kings, Head of all created things; By the Church with joy confessed; God o'er all forever blest; Pleading at Thy throne we stand, Save Thy people, bless our land! 2. From all public sin and shame, From ambition's grasping aim, From rebellion, war, and death, From the pestilential breath, From dread famine's awful stroke, From oppression's galling yoke, From the judgments of Thy hand; Spare Thy people, spare our land! 3. Let our rulers ever be Men that love and honor Thee; Let the pow'rs by Thee ordained, Be in righteousness maintained; In the people's hearts increase Love of piety and peace; Thus united we shall stand One wide, free, and 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.

While sounds of war are heard around

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #415 (1814) Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Public and National Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 While sounds of war are heard around, And death and ruin strew the ground: To thee we look, on thee we call, The Parent and the Lord of all. 2 Thou, who hast stamp'd on human kind The image of a heav'n-born mind, And in a Father’s wide embrace Hast cherished all the kindred race; 3 O see, with that insatiate rage Thy sons their impious battles wage; How spreads destruction like a flood, And brothers shed their brothers' blood! 4 See guilty passions spring to birth, And deeds of hell deform the earth; Whilst righteousness and justice mourn, And love and pity droop forlorn. 5 Great God! whose pow'rful hand can bind The raging waves, the furious wind, O bid the human tempest cease, And hush the madd'ning world to peace. 6 With rev'rence may each hostile land Hear and obey that high command, Thy Son’s blest errand from above:— “My creatures, live in mutual love!” Languages: English

God, to correct the world

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #416 (1814) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Public and National Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 God, to correct the world, In wrath is slow to rise; But comes at length, in thunder cloth'd, And darkness veils the skies. 2 His banners, lifted high, The nations' God declare, And, stain'd with blood, with terrors mark'd, Spread wonder and despair. 3 All earthly pomp and pride Are in his presence lost; Empires o'erturned, thrones, sceptres, crowns, In wild confusion tost. 4 While war and wo prevail, And desolation wide; In God, the sov'reign Lord of all, The righteous still confide. 5 Mysterious is the course Of his tremendous way: His path is in the trackless winds, And in the foaming sea. 6 Yet, though now wrapt in clouds, And from our view conceal'd The righteous Judge will soon appear, In majesty reveal'd! 7 He'll curb the lawless pow'r, The deadly wrath of man; And all the windings will unfold Of his own gracious plan. 8 The sons of tyranny, In ruin shall be hurl'd; And light, and liberty, and bliss, Embrace the new-born world.

Behold a world with slaughter spread! And know, 'tis God who bids each land thus feel the terrors of his hand. 2 'Tis his again the earth to cheer, To break the bow, to snap the spear, To wrap in flames the glitt'ring car, And hush the tumult of the war. 3 Behold us, Lord! oppress'd with woe, And exil'd from thy care we go: Rebuk'd for sin, chastis'd by thee, Grant us again thy face to see. 4 O thou, the God whom we adore! Our breaches heal, our peace restore. Our hope on man repos'd in vain, O let thy strength, great God! sustain. 5 The objects of thy tend'rest love O save, propitious from above! Let us with them thy mercy share, And hear, O hear our ceaseless pray'r. Languages: English

Send down salvation from thy throne; Subdue our hearts, remove our fears. 4 Unite our souls to trust thy grace; Portentous, angry clouds dispel; Let party-feuds no more have place, Nor tongues be "set on fire of hell." 5 May the kind spirit of thy Son Preside and rule in ev'ry soul; That wars may cease, thy will be done, And praise resound from pole to pole.
