Before the Lord We Bow
Author: Francis Scott Key Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #568 (1926) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Topics: National Lyrics: 1 Before the Lord we bow,
The God who reigns above,
And rules the world below,
Boundless in power and love.
Our thanks we bring
In joy and praise,
Our hearts we raise
To heaven's King.
2 May every mountain height,
Each vale and forest green
Shine in Thy Word's pure light,
And its rich fruits be seen!
May every tongue
Be turned to praise,
And join to raise
A grateful song.
3 Earth! hear thy Maker's voice,
The great Redeemer own;
Believe, obey, rejoice,
And worship Him alone.
Cast down thy pride,
Thy sin deplore,
And bow before
The Crucified.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GODRIC

Undimmed by human tears!

Lift Every Voice and Sing
Author: James Weldon Johnson, 1871-1938 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #571 (2011) Meter: Irregular Topics: National 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 dark 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 fathers 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 bright gleam of our bright star is cast.
3 God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who hast by Thy 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 Thee,
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee;
Shadowed beneath Thy hand,
May we forever stand,
True to our God, True to our native land. Scripture: Psalm 37:5 Languages: English Tune Title: LIFT EVERY VOICE

Though the thick chaos your reign is still hastening:
