Eternal, sov'reign Lord on high

Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Public Thanksgiving for national Blessings The Blessing of Civil Government Lyrics: 1 Eternal, sov'reign Lord on high, And Lord of all below! We mortals to thy Majesty Our first obedience owe. 2 Our souls adore thy pow'r supreme, And bless thy providence, For magistrates of meaner name, Our glory and defence. 3 Kingdoms on firm foundations stand, While virtue finds reward; And sinners perish from the land, By justice and the sword. 4 Where laws and liberties combine To make a people blest, There crowns with brightest lustre shine, And kings are honour'd best. 5 Let Caesar's due be ever paid To Caesar and his throne; But consciences and souls were made For thee, O God! alone.

To whom but thee direct their cry? 2 The helpless sinner's cries and tears Are grown familiar to thine ears: Oft has thy mercy sent relief, When all was fear and hopeless grief. 3 On thee our guardian God we call-- Before thy throne of grace we fall; And is there no deliverance there? And must we perish in despair? 4 See, we repent, we weep, we mourn-- To our forsaken God we turn! O spare our guilty country--spare The church which thou hast planted here. 5 We plead thy grace, indulgent God; We plead thy Son’s atoning blood; We plead thy gracious promises:-- And are they unavailing pleas? 6 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: Amos 3:1-6

Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: National First Line: God bless our free America, the freeman’s pride and boast Lyrics: 1 God bless our free America, the freeman’s pride and boast; Where Liberty reigns o’er the land and fearless leads her host. From North to South and East to West we sing bright Freedom’s song— God bless America the free, Her praises loud prolong. 2 From hill and dale we sing “All hail” to earth’s oncoming host, And welcome give to all who come true patriots to our coast. Then sound the clarion trumpet cry above th’advancing throng— God bless America the free, Her praises loud prolong. 3 The Stars and Stripes, our emblem bright, sweet liberty shall wave Till ev’ry land sees Freedom’s sign emblazoned there to save. Then onward still and onward go, and this our constant song— God bless America the free, Her praises loud prolong. 4 And ever, long as Time shall last, and brave men tread the sod, Will we remember “Right is Might,” and put our trust in God. Then firm, united let us stand and sing the patriot song— God bless America the free, Her praises loud prolong. Used With Tune: [God bless our free America, the freeman’s pride and boast]
