Deliverances
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: National deliverances celebrated; National prayer and praise First Line: What hath God wrought! might Isreal say Lyrics: 1 What hath God wrought! might Israel say,
When Jordan roll'd its tide away,
And gave a passage to their bands,
Safely to march across its sands.
2 What hath God wrought! might well be said,
When Jesus, rising from the dead,
Scatter'd the shades of pagan night,
And bless'd the nations with his light.
3 What hath God wrought! let Britain see,
Freed from the plagues of popery,
Its ten fold night, its iron chains,
Its galling yoke, its cruel pains.
4 What hath God wrought! in glad surprize,
Shall sound thro' all the earth and skies,
When, like a mill-stone in the main,
Proud Rome shall sink, nor rise again.
5 What hath God wrought! O blissful theme!
Are we redeem'd, and call'd by him?
Shall we be led the desert thro'?—
And safe arrive at glory too?—
6 The news shall every heart employ,
Fill every tongue with rapturous joy;
When shall we join the heavenly throng,
To swell the triumph and the song! Scripture: Numbers 23:23

From foes, that round us rise
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Prayer for national Deliverance Lyrics: 1 From foes, that round us rise,
O God of heav'n, defend,
Who brave the vengeance of the skies,
And with thy saints contend.
2 Behold, from distant shores,
And desert wilds they come,
Combine for blood their barb'rous force,
And thro' thy cities roam.
3 Beneath the silent shade,
Their sacred plots they lay,
Our peaceful walls by night invade,
And waste the fields by day.
4 And will the God of grace,
Regardless of our pain,
Permit secure that impious race,
To riot in their reign?
5 In vain their secret guile,
Or open force they prove;
His eye can pierce the deepest veil,
His hand their strength remove.
6 Yet save them, Lord, from death,
Lest we forget their doom;
But drive them with thine angry breath,
Thro' distant lands to roam.
7 Then shall our grateful voice
Proclaim our guardian God;
The nations round the earth rejoice,
And sound thy praise abroad. Scripture: Psalm 59
From foes, that round us rise
For the 5th of November
Author: Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: National deliverances celebrated; National prayer and praise First Line: To thee, almighty God, we bring Lyrics: 1 To thee, almighty God, we bring
The humble tribute of our songs;
O teach our thankful hearts to sing,
Or praise will languish on their tongues.
2 While Britain (favor'd of the skies)
Recalls the wonders God hath wrought;
Let grateful joy adoring rise,
And warm to rapture every thought.
3 When hell and Rome combin'd their power,
And doom'd these isles their certain prey;
Thy hand forbade the fatal hour,
Their impious plots in ruin lay.
4 Again our restless cruel foes
Resum'd, avow'd their black design;
Again to save us God arose,
And Britain own'd the hand divine.
5 Why, gracious God, is Britain sav'd?
Why bless'd with liberty and light?
Nor by fell tyranny enslav'd,
Nor lost in superstition's night?
6 Not for our sake, we conscious own;
A wretched, vile, ungrateful race:
'Tis done to make thy glory known;
To show the wonders of thy grace.
7 The wonders of thy grace complete;
Reform this wretched guilty land!
Let thankful love, beneath thy feet,
Confess thy kind, thy guardian hand!
8 Let every age adore thy name,
While nature's circling wheels shall roll!
Thy mercies every tongue proclaim,
And sound thy praise from pole to pole.
For the 5th of November
