The Lord is near! with Sinai tread

Author: Alexander Clark Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #772 (1873) Topics: The Christian Nation Fast-Day; Sudden National Calamity Lyrics: 1 The Lord is near! with Sinai trend He comes to earth again; From sudden darkness overhead, A tongue of lightning, clear and dread, Enough to wake the dusty dead, Proclaims God's will to men. 2 Oh, bleeding country, now arise, And call upon the Lord; Thy broken heart and tearful eyes Win pity on thee from the skies, Through Christ, the world's slain sacrifice, Who saves thee by his word. 3 Thou God of nations, hear our prayer; We lift our thoughts to thee; Our sinful nation's life, oh spare! And may our grief thy grace declare, By every Christly cross we bear To bless and make men free.

The Star-Spangled Banner

Author: Francis Scott Key, 1779-1843 Hymnal: One in Faith #953 (2015) Meter: Irregular Topics: Nation First Line: O say, can you see by the dawn's early light 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 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 freemen 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 Pow'r that has 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!

Psalm 107 Last Part

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.238 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Nation's blest and punished First Line: When God, provoked with daring crimes Lyrics: When God, provoked with daring crimes, Scourges the madness of the times, He turns their fields to barren sand, And dries the rivers from the land. His word can raise the springs again, And make the withered mountains green; Send showery blessings from the skies, And harvests in the desert rise. [Where nothing dwelt but beasts of prey, Or men as fierce and wild as they, He bids th' oppressed and poor repair, And builds them towns and cities there. They sow the fields, and trees they plant, Whose yearly fruit supplies their want; Their race grows up from fruitful stocks, Their wealth increases with their flocks. Thus they are blessed; but if they sin, He lets the heathen nations in; A savage crew invades their lands, Their princes die by barb'rous hands. Their captive sons, exposed to scorn, Wander unpitied and forlorn; The country lies unfenced, untilled, And desolation spreads the field. Yet if the humbled nation mourns, Again his dreadful hand he turns; Again he makes their cities thrive, And bids the dying churches live.] The righteous, with a joyful sense, Admire the works of Providence; And tongues of atheists shall no more Blaspheme the God that saints adore. How few with pious care record These wondrous dealings of the Lord! But wise observers still shall find The Lord is holy, just, and kind. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

You Righteous, in the Lord Rejoice

Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #43 (1990) Meter: 8.8.6 D Topics: The Nation Lyrics: 1 You righteous, in the Lord rejoice; it well becomes the good man's voice to sing Jehovah's praise. With harp and hymn of gladness sing, your gift of sweetest music bring, to him a new song raise. 2 For upright is Jehovah's word; and all the doings of the Lord in faithfulness are wrought. In justice and in judgment right the Lord does ever take delight; with goodness earth is fraught. 3 Jehovah's word the heav'ns has made, and all the host of them arrayed his breath has caused to be. He rolls the waters heap on heap; he stores away the mighty deep in garners of the sea. 4 Let all the earth Jehovah fear, let all that dwell both far and near in awe before him stand; for, lo, he spoke and it was done, and all, with sovereign pow'r begun, stood fast at his command. 5 He makes the nations' counsels vain, the plans the peoples would maintain are thwarted by his hand. Jehovah's counsel stands secure, his purposes of heart endure, forevermore they stand. 6 O truly is the nation blessed whose God, before the world confessed, Jehovah is alone; and blessed the people are whom he has made his heritage to be, and chosen for his own.
