Responsibility of Civil Officers

Appears in 5 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Where'er His creatures gather Lyrics: 1 Where'er His creatures gather The unseen God is near; Let rulers fear their Ruler, Their Judge let judges fear. How long, ye earthly judges, Will ye pervert the right? How long shall wicked persons Have favor in your sight? 2 Do justice for the helpless, The orphan's cause maintain; Defend the poor and needy, Oppressed and wronged for gain. When rulers walk in darkness, When judges truth forsake, The cornerstones are crumbled, The firm foundations shake. 3 The Most High God has called you And set you up on high, But ye to Him must answer, For ye like men must die. Arise, O God Eternal, Thou Judge of all the earth, Thro' all Thy ransomed nations Send now Thy justice forth.

The Homeland

Author: Lucy Jane Rider Meyer, 1849-1922 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: O Homeland! O Homeland! Lyrics: 1 O Homeland! O Homeland! No lonely heart is there, No rush of blinding anguish, No slowly dropping tear: Now like an infant crying Its mother’s face to see, O Mother land, O Homeland! I stretch my arms to thee! 2 O Homeland! O Homeland! No moaning of the sick, No crying of the weary, No sighing of the weak. But sound of children’s voices, And shout of saintly song, Are heard thy happy highways And golden streets along. 3 O Homeland! O Homeland! The veil is very thin That stretches thy dear meadows And this cold world between; A breath aside may blow it, A heartthrob burst it through, And bring in one glad moment Thy happy lands to view. 4 O Homeland! O Homeland! One—Chief of all thy band, One—altogether lovely, One—Lord of all the land, Stands, eager at the gateway; The Bridegroom waits His bride; And resting on His bosom, "I shall be satisfied." Used With Tune: [O Homeland! O Homeland] Text Sources: The Uplands of God (New York: Anson D. F. Randolph, 1883)
