America the Beautiful
Author: Katharine Lee Bates Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 506 hymnals Topics: National Righteousness First Line: O beautiful for spacious skies Lyrics: 1 O beautiful for spacious skies,
for amber waves of grain;
for purple mountain majesties
above the fruited plain!
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! May God thy gold refine,
till all success be nobleness,
and every gain divine.
3 O beautiful for patriot dream
that sees beyond the years
thine alabaster cities gleam,
undimmed by human tears!
America! America! God mend thine every flaw,
confirm thy soul in self-control,
thy liberty in law.

Christmas Bells
Author: Henry W. Longfellow Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 116 hymnals Topics: National Righteousness First Line: I heard the bells on Christmas day Lyrics: 1 I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace of earth, good will to men.
2 I thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along th'unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
3 And in despair I bowed my head:
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong, and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men."
4 Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men."
5 Till, ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
Baptist Hymnal, 1991

leads forth in beauty all the starry band
of shining worlds in splendor through the skies,
our grateful songs before thy throne arise.
2 Thy love divine hath led us in the past;
in this free land with thee our lot is cast;
be thou our ruler, guardian, guide, and stay,
thy Word our law, thy paths our chosen way.
3 From war's alarms, from deadly pestilence,
be thy strong arm our ever sure defense;
thy true religion in our hearts increase;
thy bounteous goodness nourish us in peace.

lead us from night to never-ending day;
fill all our lives with love and grace divine,

Risen with healing in His wings. [Refrain]

Formed in each believing heart! [Refrain]

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life
Author: Frank M. North Appears in 369 hymnals Topics: Missionary; National; Social Righteousness; Missionary; National; Social Righteousness Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
Where sound the cries of race and clan,
Above the noise of selfish strife,
We hear Thy voice, O Son of man!
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
On shadowed thresholds dark with fears,
From paths where hide the lures of greed,
We catch the vision of Thy tears.
3 The cup of water giv'n for thee
Stills holds the freshness of Thy grace;
Yet long these multitudes to see
The sweet compassion of Thy face.
4 O Master, from the mountain side,
Make haste to heal these hearts of pain,
Among these restless throngs abide,
O tread the city's streets again.
5 Till sons of men shall learn Thy love,
And follow where Thy feet have trod;
Till glorious from Thy Heav'n above
Shall come the city of our God.

With flame of freedom in their souls
And light of knowledge in their eyes.

To spill no drop of blood, but dare
All that may plant man's lordship firm
On earth, and fire, and sea, and air.

Inarmed shall lived as comrades free;
In every heart and brain shall throb
The pulse of one fraternity.

And fervent as the young-eyed joys
Who chant their heavenly songs before
God's face with undiscordant noise.
5 New arts shall bloom of loftier mould,
And mightier music thrill the skies,
And every life shall be a song,
When all the earth is paradise.
6 There shall be no more sin, nor shame,
Though pain and passion may not die;
For man shall be at one with God
In bonds of firm necessity. Used With Tune: SIMEON
These things shall be! a loftier race
