See, gracious God before thy throne

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #691 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Public and national Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 See, gracious God before thy throne; Thy mourning people bend! 'Tis on thy sovereign grace alone Our humble hopes depend. 2 Tremendous judgments from thy hand Thy dreadful power display; Yet mercy spares this guilty land, And still we live to pray. 3 Great God, and is Columbia spar'd, Ungrateful as we are! O make thy awful warnings heard, While mercy cries, 'Forbear.' 4 What land so favour'd of the skies, As these apostate States! Our num'rous crimes increasing rise, Yet still thy vengeance waits. 5 How chang'd, alas! are truths divine For error, guilt, and shame! What impious numbers, bold in sin, Disgrace the Christian's name! 6 Regardless of thy smile or frown, Their pleasures they require; And sink with gay indifference down To everlasting fire. 7 O turn us, turn us, mighty Lord, By thy unbounded grace; Then shall our hearts obey thy word, And humbly seek thy face. 8 Then should insulting foes invade, We shall not sink in fear; Secure of never-failing aid, If God, our God is near.

Peace! the welcome sound proclaim

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #693 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Public and national Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 Peace! the welcome sound proclaim; Dwell with rapture on the theme. Loud, still louder swell the strain: Peace of earth! good-will to men! 2 Breezes! whisp'ring soft and low, Gently murmur as ye blow, Now, when was and discord cease, Praises to the God of peace. 3 Ocean's billows far and wide, Rolling in majestic pride! Loud, still louder swell the strain: Peace on earth! good-will to men! 4 Vocal songsters of the grove! Sweetly chant in notes of love, Now when war and discord cease, Praises to the God of peace. 5 Mortals, who these blessings feel! Christians, who before him kneel! Loud, still louder swell the strain: Peace of earth, good-will to men!
