A thoroughfare for freedom beat

Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!

And ev'ry gain divine!

Battle Hymn of the Republic

Glory! Hallelujah! Lyrics: 1 Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
Refrain:
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
2 I have seen Him in the watchfires of a hundred circling camps;
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on. [Refrain]
3 He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat;
O be swift, my soul, to answer Him; be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on. [Refrain]
4 In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me;
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free!
While God is marching on. [Refrain]

Lift Every Voice and Sing
Author: James Weldon Johnson, 1871-1938 Hymnal: Hymns for a Pilgrim People #304 (2007) Meter: 6.6.10.6.6.10.14.14.6.6.10 Topics: Nation First Line: Lift ev'ry voice and sing Lyrics: 1 Lift ev'ry voice and sing,
Till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the list'ning 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 chast'ning 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 white 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 for ever stand,
True to our God, true to our native land. Scripture: Psalm 68:4 Languages: English Tune Title: LIFT EVERY VOICE

Where the parting hymn will be chanted,
We will weep by the side of the tomb. [Refrain]

To list to the clear ringing bell;
Its tones so sweetly are calling,
Oh, come to the church in the vale. [Refrain]

When day fades away into night,
I would fain from this spot of my childhood
Wing my way to the mansions of light. [Refrain]

Thou, by heavenly hosts adored
Author: Henry Harbaugh, 1817 - 67 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #341 (1958) Topics: Church Life and Work City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 Thou, by heavenly hosts adored,
Gracious, mighty, sovereign Lord,
God of nations, King of kings,
Head of all created things,
By the Church with joy confest,
God o'er all for ever blest;
Pleading at thy throne we stand:
Save thy people, bless our land.
2 From all public sin and shame,
From ambition's grasping aim,
From rebellion, war and death,
From the pestilential breath,
From dread famine's awful stroke,
From oppression's galling yoke,
From the judgments of thy hand:
Spare thy people, spare our land.
3 Let our rulers ever be
Men that love and honor thee;
Let the powers by thee ordained
Be in righteousness maintained;
In the people's hearts increase
Love of piety and peace;
Thus united, we shall stand
One wide, free, and happy land.

Thou, by heavenly hosts adored
God of our fathers, known of old
Author: Rudyard Kipling, 1865 - 1936 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #347 (1958) Topics: Church Life and Work City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 God of our fathers, known of old,
Lord of our far-flung battle-line,
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine;
Lord God of hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget--lest we forget!
2 The tumult and the shouting dies;
The captains and the kings depart;
Still stands thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and a contrite heart.
Lord God of hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget--lest we forget! A-men.
3 Far called, our navies melt away;
On dune and headland sinks the fire:
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!
Judge of the nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget--lest we forget!
4 If, drunk with sight of power, we loose
Wild tongues that have not thee in awe,
Such boastings as the Gentiles use,
Or lesser breeds without the law--
Lord God of hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget--lest we forget!
5 For heathen heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard,
All valiant dust that builds on dust,
And, guarding, calls not thee to guard,
For frantic boast and foolish word--
Thy mercy on thy people, Lord!
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MATTHIAS

Eternal Ruler of the ceaseless round
Author: John White Chadwick, 1840 - 1904 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #350 (1958) Topics: Church Life and Work City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 Eternal Ruler of the ceaseless round
Of circling planets singing on their way,
Guide of the nations from the night profound
Into the glory of the perfect day:
Rule in our hearts, that we may ever be
Guided and strengthened and upheld by thee.
2 We are of thee, the children of thy love,
The brothers of thy well-beloved Son;
Descend, O Holy Spirit, like a dove,
Into our hearts, that we may be as one;
As one with thee, to whom we ever tend,
As one with him, our brother and our friend. A-men.
3 We would be one in hatred of all wrong,
One in our love of all things sweet and fair,
One with the joy that breaketh into song,
One with the grief that trembleth into prayer,
One in the power that makes the children free
To follow truth, and thus to follow thee.
4 O clothe us with thy heavenly armor, Lord,
Thy trusty shield, thy sword of love divine;
Our inspiration be thy constant word,
We ask no victories that are not thine;
Give or withhold, let pain or pleasure be,
Enough to know that we are serving thee.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: SONG 1

God the Omnipotent! King, who ordainest

Great winds thy clarions, lightnings thy sword;
Show forth thy pity on high where thou reignest:
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord.
2 God, the All-merciful! earth hath forsaken
Meekness and mercy, and slighted thy word;
Bid not thy wrath in its terrors awaken:
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord. A-men.
3 God, the All-righteous One! man hath defied thee,
Yet to eternity standeth thy word;
Falsehood and wrong shall not tarry beside thee;
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord.
4 God, the All-wise! by the fire of thy chastening
Earth shall to freedom and truth be restored;
Through the thick darkness thy kingdom is hastening:
Thou wilt give peace in thy time, O Lord.
5 So shall thy children in thankful devotion
Praise him who saved them from peril and sword,
Singing in chorus from ocean to ocean:
'Peace to the nations, and praise to the Lord.'
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: RUSSIAN HYMN
God the Omnipotent! King, who ordainest
