Once to Every Man and Nation

Author: James Russell Lowell Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 209 hymnals Topics: Citizenship, Christian Text Sources: Excerpted from The Present Crisis

Author: James Weldon Johnson Meter: Irregular Appears in 54 hymnals Topics: Citizenship Lyrics: 1 Lift every voice and sing, till earth and heaven ring, ring with the harmonies of liberty; Let our rejoicing rise, high as the listening skies, let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the harsh past has taught us, Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, let us march on till victory is won. 2 Stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod, felt in the days when hope unborn had died; Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet, come to the place for which our people sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered, We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. 3 God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, God who has brought us thus far on the way; God, who by your might, led us into the light, keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met you, Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, forget you; Shadowed beneath your hand, may we forever stand, true to our God, true to our native land.

As the Voice of Many Waters

Author: Edward A. Collier Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Citizenship Lyrics: 1 “As the voice of many waters,” God of Nations, be our praise, For the patriot sons and daughters Of our grand, heroic days; For the fathers, freedom gaining With their lifeblood as the price; For the brave, our flag maintaining At an equal sacrifice. 2 Righteous law and truth upholden— Free in person, speech and creed— Free, yet bound by precept golden— This is liberty indeed. O, ye bells, from tow’r and steeple, This “proclaim thro’ all the land; Ring it out, till ev’ry people For their rights as freemen stand! 3 Round our heart-stones and Thine altars, God of Nations, may there be Loyalty that never falters; Hearts made strong by trust in Thee! Strong in union now and ever, Crowning what our sires began; Strong to suffer and endeavor For the equal rights of man! 4 When must sound the bugle’s rally And the larum of the drum; When from ev’ry hill and valley Tramping legions shout—“We come;” God of Battles, King all glorious, Then do Thou our country save! On the land and sea victorious, Let the Stars and Stripes still wave. Used With Tune: [As the voice of many waters]
