Hail the day that brought our freedom
Author: Wm. Hunter Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Patriotism Lyrics: 1 Hail the day that bought our freedom,
Bought with our forefathers' blood;
Thou, our conquering God, didst lead them
Through the flame and through the flood.
Independence!
Echo it through field and flood.
2 Lo! their happy sons and daughters,
On this glad and festal day,
By the springs of limpid waters,
O'er the hills and valleys stray.
Independence!
Chorus still of every lay.
3 Here we, in thy presence bending,
Happiest of the happy throngs,
Up to heaven our prayers are sending--
Up to heaven our rapturous songs.
Independence!
Swells the triumph, and prolongs.
4 Oh! thou God of our salvation,
Who dost blessings richly shower
Let us make our Declaration
In this spirit-stirring hour.
Independence!
From the tyrant Satan's power.
5 Father! oh, prepare us better
For the blessings richly given;
Break off every sinful fetter,
Purge out every sinful leaven.
Independence!
Then shall clear our path to heaven.
Hail the day that brought our freedom
Is this a fast for me?
Author: Drummond Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Fast-Day Lyrics: 1 Is this a fast for me?
Thus saith the Lord our God:
A day for man to vex his soul
And feel affliction's rod?
2 No; is not this alone
The sacred fast I choose--
Oppression's yoke to burst in twain,
The bands of guilt unloose?
3 To nakedness and want
Your food and raiment deal,
To dwell your kindred race among,
And all their sufferings heal?
4 Then like the morning ray,
Shall spring your health and light;
Before you, righteousness shall shine,
Behind, my glory bright!
Is this a fast for me?
Lord, from thy blessed throne
Author: Nicholl Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Freedom Lyrics: 1 Lord, from thy blessed throne,
Sorrow look down upon!
God save the poor!
Teach them true liberty,
Make them from tyrants free,
Let their homes happy be!
God save the poor!
2 The arms of wicked men
Do thou with might restrain;
God save the poor!
Raise thou their lowliness,
Succor thou their distress,
Thou whom the meanest bless;
God save the poor!
3 Give them stanch honesty,
Let their pride manly be;
God save the poor!
Help them to hold the right,
Give them both truth and might,
Lord of all life and light!
God save the poor!
Lord, from thy blessed throne
May freedom speed onward, wherever the blood
Author: Whittier Meter: 12.12.12.12 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Freedom Lyrics: 1 May freedom speed onward, wherever the blood
Of the wronged and the guiltless is crying to God;
Wherever from kindred, torn rudely apart,
Comes the sorrowful wait of the broken of heart.
2 Wherever the shackles of tyranny bind
In silence and darkness the God-given mind,
There, Lord, speed it onward! the truth shall be felt,
The bonds shall be loosened, the iron will melt.
3 Help us turn from the cavil of words, to unite
Once again for the poor in defense of the right,
Unappalled by the danger, the shame, or the pain,
And counting each trial for truth as our gain.
May freedom speed onward, wherever the blood
Men! whose boast it is, that ye
Author: Lowell Appears in 61 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Freedom Lyrics: Men! whose boast it is, that ye
Come of fathers brave and free,
If there breathe on earth a slave,
Are ye truly free and brave?
If ye do not feel the chain,
When it works a brother's pain,
Are ye not base slaves, indeed--
Slaves unworthy to be freed?
2 Is true freedom but to break
Fetters for our own dear sake,
And with leathern hearts forget
That we owe mankind a debt?
No! true freedom is to share
All the chains our brothers wear,
And with heart and hand to be
Earnest to make others free!
3 They are slaves, who fear to speak
For the fallen and the weak;
They are slaves, who will not choose
Hatred, scoffing, and abuse,
Rather than in silence shrink
From the truth they needs must think;
They are slaves, who dare not be
In the right with two or three.
Men! whose boast it is, that ye
No war nor battle's sound
Author: Dwight Appears in 59 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation At Peace Lyrics: 1 No war nor battle's sound
Was heard the earth around--
No hostile chiefs to furious combat ran;
But peaceful was the night
In which the Prince of Light
His reign of peace upon the earth began.
2 No conqueror's sword he bore,
Nor warlike armor wore,
Nor haughty passions roused to contest wild;
In peace and love he came,
And gentle was the reign
Which o'er the earth he spread by influence mild.
3 Unwilling kings obeyed,
And sheathed the battle-blade,
And called their bloody legions from the field;
In silent awe they wait,
And close the warrior's gate,
Nor know to whom their homage thus they yield.
4 The peaceful Conqueror goes,
And triumphs o'er his foes,
His weapons drawn from armories above;
Behold the vanquished sit
Submissive at his feet,
And strike and hate are changed to peace and love.
No war nor battle's sound
Oh, fairest-born of Love and Light!
Author: Whittier Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 17 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 Oh, fairest-born of Love and Light!
Yet bending brow and eye severe
On all which pains the holy sight,
Or wounds the pure and perfect ear--
2 Beneath thy broad, impartial eye,
How fade the lines of caste and birth!
How equal in their sufferings lie
The groaning multitudes of earth!
3 Still to a stricken brother true,
Whatever clime hath nourished him;
As stooped to heal the wounded Jew,
The worshiper of Gerizim.
4 In holy words which can not die,
In thoughts which angels learned to know,
Christ gave thy message from on high,
Thy mission to a world of woe.
5 That voice's echo hath not died;
From the blue lake of Galilee,
From Tabor's lonely mountain-side,
It calls a struggling world to thee.
Oh, fairest-born of Love and Light!
On thee, O Lord our God, we call
Author: Anon. Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Fast-Day Lyrics: 1 On thee, O Lord our God, we call,
Before thy throne devoutly fall;
Oh, whither should the helpless fly?
To whom but thee direct their cry?
2 Lord, we repent, we weep, we mourn,
To our forsaken God we turn;
Oh, spare our guilty country, spare
The church thine hand hath planted here!
3 We plead thy grace, indulgent God!
We plead thy Son's atoning blood;
We plead thy gracious promises;
And are they unavailing pleas?
4 These pleas, presented at thy throne,
Have brought ten thousand blessings down
On guilty lands in helpless woe:
Let them prevail to save us, too. Scripture: Isaiah 26:9
On thee, O Lord our God, we call
Pour, blessed Gospel, glorious news for man!
Author: Ashworth Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 Pour, blessed Gospel, glorious news for man!
Thy stream of life o'er springless deserts roll:
Thy bond of peace the mighty earth can span,
And make one brotherhood from pole to pole.
2 On, piercing Gospel, on! of every heart,
In every latitude, thou own'st the key:
From their dull slumbers savage souls shall start,
With all their treasures first unlocked by thee.
3 Spread, mighty Gospel, spread thy soaring wings!
Gather thy scattered ones from every land:
Call home the wanderers to the King of kings;
Proclaim them all thine own--'tis Christ's command!
Pour, blessed Gospel, glorious news for man!
Rejoice! the Lord is King; Your Lord and King adore
Author: J. Taylor Appears in 764 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 Rejoice! the Lord is King;
Your Lord and King adore:
Mortals, give thanks and sing,
And triumph evermore:
Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, in sacred lays rejoice.
2 His wintry north winds blow,
Loud tempests rush amain;
Yet his thick showers of snow
Defend the infant grain:
Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, in sacred lays rejoice.
3 He wakes the genial spring,
Perfumes the balmy air;
The vales their tribute bring,
The promise of the year:
Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice:
Rejoice, in sacred lays rejoice.
4 He leads the circling year;
His faith the hills adorn;
He fills the golden ear,
And loads the field with corn;
Oh, happy morning, raise your voice;
Rejoice, in sacred lays rejoice. Scripture: Psalm 2:6
Rejoice! the Lord is King; Your Lord and King adore
