When Abraham, full of sacred awe
Author: Rippon's Coll. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #770 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Nation Fast-Day Lyrics: 1 When Abraham, full of sacred awe,
Before Jehovah stood,
And, with an humble, fervent prayer,
For guilty Sodom sued.
2 With what success, what wondrous grace,
Was his petition crowned!
The Lord would spare, if in this place
Ten righteous men were found.
3 And could a single pious soul
So rich a boon obtain?
Great God, and shall a nation cry,
And plead with thee in vain?
4 Are not the righteous dear to thee
Now, as in ancient times?
Or does this sinful land exceed
Gomorrah in her crimes?
5 Still we are thine; we bear thy name;
Here yet is thine abode:
Long has thy presence blest our land:
Forsake us not, O God.
When Abraham, full of sacred awe
Before You, Lord, We Bow
Author: Francis Scott Key, 1779-1843 Hymnal: Christian Worship #775 (2021) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Topics: Nation Lyrics: 1 Before you, Lord, we bow,
our God who reigns above
and rules the world below
in boundless pow'r and love.
Our thanks we bring in joy and praise
our hearts we raise to you, our King!
2 The nation you have blessed
may well your love declare,
from foes and fears at rest,
protected by your care.
For this bright day, for this fair land—
gifts of your hand— our thanks we pay.
3 May ev'ry mountain height,
each vale and forest green,
shine in your Word's pure light
and its rich fruits be seen!
May ev'ry tongue be tuned to praise
and join to raise a grateful song.
4 Earth, hear your maker's voice;
your great Redeemer own;
believe, obey, rejoice,
and worship him alone.
Cast down your pride, your sin deplore,
and bow before the Crucified.
5 And when in pow'r he comes,
oh, may our native land
from all its rending tombs
send forth a glorious band,
a countless throng, with joy to sing
to heav'n's high King, salvation's song! Scripture: Psalm 33:8-22 Languages: English Tune Title: DARWALL'S 148TH

Great God of nations! now to thee
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #778 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Nation Thanksgiving; God in National Blessings Lyrics: 1 Great God of nations! now to thee
Our hymn of gratitude we raise;
With humble heart, and bending knee,
We offer thee our song of praise.
2 Thy name we bless, Almighty God!
For all the kindness thou hast shown
To this fair land the pilgrims trod--
This land we fondly call our own.
3 Here, freedom spreads her banner wide,
And casts her soft and hallowed ray--
Here, thou our fathers' steps didst guide
In safety through their dangerous way.
4 We praise thee that the gospel's light
Through all our land its radiance sheds;
Dispels the shades of error's night,
And heavenly blessings round us spreads.
5 Great God! preserve us in thy fear;
In dangers still our guardian be:
Oh, spread thy truth's bright precepts here;
Let all the people worship thee. Scripture: Proverbs 14:34
Great God of nations! now to thee
O God of Earth and Altar
Author: Gilbert Keith Chesterton, 1874-1936 Hymnal: Worship Supplement #784 (1969) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: The Nation Lyrics: 1 O God of earth and altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die;
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
But take away our pride.
2 From all that terror teaches,
From lies of tongue and pen,
From all the easy speeches
That comfort cruel men,
From sale and profanation
Of honor and the sword,
From sleep and from damnation,
Deliver us, good Lord!
3 Tie in a living tether
The prince and priest and thrall,*
Bind all our lives together,
Smite us and save us all;
In ire and exultation
Aflame with faith, and free,
Lift up a living nation,
A single sword to thee. Amen.

Star of our night and Hope of every nation,
Hear and receive thy Church's supplication,
Lord God Almighty.
2 See round thine ark the hungry billows curling;
See how thy foes their banners are unfurling;
Lord, while their darts envenomed they are hurling,
Thou canst preserve us.
3 Lord, thou canst help when earthly armor faileth,
Lord, thou canst save when deadly sin assaileth;
Christ, o'er thy Church nor death nor hell prevaileth;
Grant us thy peace, Lord.
4 Peace in our hearts, our evil thoughts assuaging;
Peace in thy Church, where brothers are engaging;
Peace, when the world its busy war is waging:
Calm thy foes' raging.
5 Grant us thy help till backward they are driven,
Grant them thy truth that they may be forgiven;
Grant peace on earth, and after we have striven,
Peace in thy heaven. Amen.
Amen. Tune Title: ISTE CONFESSOR

God of our fathers, let thy face
Author: Samuel Wolcott Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #789 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Nation Patriotism Lyrics: 1 God of our fathers, let thy face

And law combine with liberty.

Sustaining trust, discerning sight,
The homage of the loyal heart,
The steadfast courage for the right.

Of patriotic love abide;
Its counsels lead, its acts inspire,
And in the nation's halls preside.
4 Upon our Judges let the seal
Of thy divine anointing be--
The wisdom calm, the righteous zeal,
The robes of truth and equity.
5 God of our fathers, let thy face
Toward the Republic ever be!
Encompass it with strength and grace,
And law combine with liberty.

The Star-Spangled Banner
Author: Francis S. Key, 1779-1843 Hymnal: Lead Me, Guide Me (2nd ed.) #789 (2012) Meter: Irregular Topics: Country, Nation First Line: O say can you see by the dawn's early light Lyrics: 1 O say can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
2 On the shore, dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dead silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows half conceals, half discloses?
And catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shined on the stream,
'Tis the Star-Spangled Banner O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
3 O thus be it ever when free men shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation!
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto, "In God is our trust."
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! Languages: English Tune Title: STAR SPANGLED BANNER
The Star-Spangled Banner
Oh, all ye nations, praise the Lord, Each with diff'rent tongue
Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #807 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Nation Brotherhood; Praise from All Nations Lyrics: 1 Oh, all ye nations, praise the Lord,
Each with a diff'rent tongue;
And every language learn his word,
And let his name be sung.
2 His mercy reigns through every land,--
Proclaim his grace abroad:
For ever firm his grace shall stand,--
Praise ye the faithful God.
Oh, all ye nations, praise the Lord, Each with diff'rent tongue
Thy hand, O God, has guided
Author: Edward Hayes Plumptre (1821-1891) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #814 (2013) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Topics: Nation and Society Lyrics: 1 Thy hand, O God, has guided
thy flock, from age to age;
the wondrous tale is written,
full clear, on every page;
our fathers owned thy goodness,
and we their deeds record;
and both of this bear witness:
one Church, one faith, one Lord.
2 Thy heralds brought glad tidings
to greatest, as to least;
they bade men rise, and hasten
to share the great King's feast;
and this was all their teaching,
in every deed and word,
to all alike proclaiming
one Church, one faith, one Lord.
3 When shadows thick were falling,
and all seemed sunk in night,
thou, Lord, didst send thy servants,
thy chosen sons of light.
On them and on thy people
thy plenteous grace was poured,
and this was still their message:
one church, one faith one Lord.
4 Through many a day of darkness,
through many a scene of strife,
the faithful few fought bravely,
to guard the nation's life.
Their Gospel of redemption,
sin pardoned, man restored,
was all in this enfolded:
one Church, one faith, one Lord.
5 And we, shall we be faithless?
Shall hearts fail, hands hang down?
Shall we evade the conflict,
and cast away our crown?
Not so: in God's deep counsels
some better thing is stored;
we will maintain, unflinching,
one church, one faith, one Lord.
6 Thy mercy will not fail us,
nor leave thy work undone;
with thy right hand to help us,
the victory shall be won;
and then, by men and angels,
thy name shall be adored,
and this shall be their anthem:
one Church, one faith, one Lord. Scripture: Psalm 44:1-3 Languages: English Tune Title: THORNBURY
Thy hand, O God, has guided
