O beautiful for spacious skies

America! America! God shed his grace on thee, and crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea. 2 O beautiful for heroes proved in liberating strife, who more than self their country loved, and mercy more than life! America! America! God mend thine every flaw, confirm thy soul in self-control, thy liberty in law. 3 O beautiful for patriot dream that sees beyond the years thine alabaster cities gleam, undimmed by human tears! America! America! God shed his grace on thee, and crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea. Topics: National Songs Used With Tune: MATERNA

I Feel the Winds of God Today

Author: Jessie Adams Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I feel the winds of God today; Today my sail I lift, Though heavy, oft with drenching spray, And torn with many a rift; If hope but light the water’s crest, And Christ my bark will use, I’ll seek the seas at His behest, And brave another cruise. 2 It is the wind of God that dries My vain, regretful tears, Until with braver thoughts shall rise The purer, brighter years; If cast on shores of selfish ease Or pleasure I should be, Lord, let me feel Thy freshening breeze, And I’ll put back to sea. 3 If ever I forget Thy love And how that love was shown, Lift high the blood red flag above; It bears Thy name alone. Great Pilot of my onward way, Thou wilt not let me drift; I feel the winds of Go Amen.

I Sing the Mighty Power of God

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 472 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I sing the mighty power of God that made the mountains rise, that spread the flowing seas abroad and built the lofty skies. I sing the wisdom that ordained the sun to rule the day; the moon shines full at his command and all the stars obey. 2 I sing the goodness of the Lord that filled the earth with food; he formed the creatures with his word and then pronounced them good. Lord, how your wonders are displayed where'er I turn my eye, if I survey the ground I tread or gaze upon the sky! 3 There's not a plant or flower below but makes your glories known, and clouds arise and tempests blow by order from your throne; while all that borrows life from you is ever in your care, and everywhere that we can be, you, God, are present there.

We limit not the truth of God

Author: George Rawson, 1807-1889 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We limit not the truth of God to our poor reach of mind, to notions of our day and place, crude, partial, and confined: no, let a new and better hope within our hearts be stirred: the Lord has yet more light and truth to break forth from his word. 2 Who dares to bind to one's own sense the oracles of heaven, for all the nations, tongues, and climes and all the ages given? That universe, how much unknown! The ocean unexplored! the Lord has yet more light and truth to break forth from his word. 3 O Father, Son, and Spirit, send us increase from above; enlarge, expand all living souls to comprehend your love; and make us to go on to know with nobler powers conferred— the Lord has yet more light and truth to break forth from his word.

There Is a Fountain

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2,486 hymnals First Line: There is a fountain filled with blood Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins; And sinners plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains: Lose all their guilty stains, Lose all their guilty stains; And sinners plunged beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day, And there may I, though vile as he, Wash all my sins away: Wash all my sins away, Wash all my sins away; And there may I, though vile as he, Wash all my sins away. 3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its pow'r, Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved, to sin no more: Be saved, to sin no more, Be saved, to sin no more; Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved to sin no more. 4 E'er since by faith I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme And shall be till I die: And shall be till I die, And shall be till I die; Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die. 5 When this poor lisping, stamm'ring tongue Lies silent in the grave, Then in a nobler, sweeter song I'll sing Thy pow'r to save: I'll sing Thy pow'r to save, I'll sing Thy pow'r to save; Then in a nobler, sweeter song I'll sing Thy pow'r to save.
