Delivering Goodness acknowledged
Author: Dr. Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: National deliverances celebrated; National prayer and praise First Line: Praise to the Lord, whose mighty hand Lyrics: 1 Praise to the Lord, whose mighty hand,
So oft reveal'd hath sav'd our land;
And, when united nations rose,
Hath sham'd and scourg'd our haughtiest.
2 When mighty navies from afar
To Britain's wafted floating war,
His breath dispers'd them all with ease,
And sunk their terrors in the seas.
3 While for our princes they prepare
In caverns deep a burning snare;
He shot from heaven a piercing ray,
And the dark treachery brought to days.
4 Princes and priests again combine
New chains to forge, new snares to twine;
Again our gracious God appears,
And breaks their chains, and cuts their snares.
5 Obedient winds at his command
Convey his hero to our land;
The sons of Rome with terror view,
And speed their flight when non pursue.
6 Such great deliverance God hath wrought,
And down to us salvation brought;
And still the care of guardian-heaven
Secures the bliss itself hath given.
7 In thee we trust, almighty Lord,
Continu'd rescue to afford:
Still be thy powerful arm made bare,
For all thy servants' hopes are there.
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:10

For the Fruit of All Creation
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.8.8.4 Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: Nation Lyrics: 1 For the fruit of all creation,
thanks be to God.
For these gifts to every nation,
thanks be to God.
For the ploughing, sowing, reaping,
silent growth while we are sleeping,
future needs in earth's safe-keeping,
thanks be to God.
2 In the just reward of labour,
God's will is done.
In the help we give our neighbour,
God's will is done.
In our worldwide task of caring
for the hungry and despairing,
in the harvests we are sharing,
God's will is done.
3 For the harvests of the Spirit,
thanks be to God.
For the good we all inherit,
thanks be to God.
For the wonders that astound us,
for the truths that still confound us,
most of all that love has found us,
thanks be to God. Used With Tune: AR HYD Y NOS

O Canada! Our Fathers' Land of Old
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.

Psalm 76
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 41 hymnals Topics: National deliverance First Line: In Judah God of old was known Lyrics:
In Judah God of old was known;
His name in Isr'el great;
In Salem stood his holy throne,
And Zion was his seat.
Among the praises of his saints
His dwelling there he chose;
There he received their just complaints
Against their haughty foes.
From Zion went his dreadful word,
And broke the threat'ning spear,
The bow, the arrows, and the sword,
And crushed th' Assyrian war.
What are the earth's wide kingdoms else
But mighty hills of prey?
The hill on which Jehovah dwells
Is glorious more than they.
'Twas Zion's King that stopped the breath
Of captains and their bands;
The men of might slept fast in death,
And never found their hands.
At thy rebuke, O Jacob's God,
Both horse and chariot fell:
Who knows the terrors of thy rod?
Thy vengeance who can tell?
What power can stand before thy sight,
When once thy wrath appears?
When heav'n shines round with dreadful light,
The earth lies still and fears.
When God in his own sovereign ways
Comes down to save th' oppressed,
The wrath of man shall work his praise,
And he'll restrain the rest.
[Vow to the Lord, and tribute bring,
Ye princes, fear his frown;
His terror shakes the proudest king,
And cuts an army down.
The thunder of his sharp rebuke
Our haughty foes shall feel;
For Jacob's God hath not forsook
But dwells in Zion still.]

From all that dwell below the skies
Let the Creator's praise arise;
Let the Redeemer's name be sung
Through every land, by every tongue.
Eternal are thy mercies, Lord,
Eternal truth attends thy word;
Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore,
Till suns shall rise and set no more.
