Thanksgiving for victory over our enemies

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: National prayer and praise; Thanksgiving for national Victory First Line: To thee, who reign'st supreme above Lyrics: 1 To thee, who reign'st supreme above, And reign's supreme below, Thou God of wisdom, power, and love, We our successes owe. 2 The thundering horse, the martial band, Without thine aid were vain; And victory flies at thy command To crown the bright campaign. 3 Thy mighty arm, unseen, was nigh, When we our foes assail'd; 'Tis thou hast rais'd our honors high, And o'er their hosts prevail'd. 4 Their mounds, their camps, their lofty towers Into our hands are given, Not from desert or strength of ours, But thro' the grace of heaven. 5 What tho' no columns lifted high Stand deep inscrib'd with praise, Yet sounding honors to the sky Our grateful tongues shall raise. 6 To our young race will we proclaim The mercies God has shown; That they may learn to bless his name, And choose him for their own. 7 Thus while we sleep in silent dust, When threatening dangers come, Their father's God shall be their trust, Their refuge and their home.

Dear Lord, behold our sore distress

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: National deliverance Lyrics: Dear Lord! behold our sore distress; Our sins attempt to reign; Stretch out thine arm of conquering grace, And let thy foes be slain. [The lion with his dreadful roar Affrights thy feeble sheep: Reveal the glory of thy power, And chain him to the deep. Must we indulge a long despair? Shall our petitions die? Our mournings never reach thine ear, Nor tears affect thine eye?] If thou despise a mortal groan, Yet hear a Savior's blood; An Advocate so near the throne Pleads and prevails with God. He brought the Spirit's powerful sword To slay our deadly foes; Our sins shall die beneath thy word, And hell in vain oppose. How boundless is our Father's grace, In height, and depth, and length! He makes his Son our righteousness, His Spirit is our strength. Scripture: Psalm 76
