Hail the day that brought our freedom

Author: Wm. Hunter Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #783 (1873) Topics: The Christian Nation Patriotism Lyrics: 1 Hail the day that bought our freedom, Bought with our forefathers' blood; Thou, our conquering God, didst lead them Through the flame and through the flood. Independence! Echo it through field and flood. 2 Lo! their happy sons and daughters, On this glad and festal day, By the springs of limpid waters, O'er the hills and valleys stray. Independence! Chorus still of every lay. 3 Here we, in thy presence bending, Happiest of the happy throngs, Up to heaven our prayers are sending-- Up to heaven our rapturous songs. Independence! Swells the triumph, and prolongs. 4 Oh! thou God of our salvation, Who dost blessings richly shower Let us make our Declaration In this spirit-stirring hour. Independence! From the tyrant Satan's power. 5 Father! oh, prepare us better For the blessings richly given; Break off every sinful fetter, Purge out every sinful leaven. Independence! Then shall clear our path to heaven.

Chorus: And the flag of our fathers, in God's name unfurled, O'er their children shall wave to the end of the world. 2 If it ever prove false to its glorious trust, May its foes drag it down with contempt to the dust; But as long as 'tis true to the blazon it holds, Shall the arm of Omnipotence bear up its folds. [Chorus] 3 Here at home, with one sky and one land, let it be But the flag of one people, harmonious and free; From the north to the south, from the east to the west, With no treason to part it, no war to molest. [Chorus] 4 So abroad on all seas and all shores let it shine As the symbol of manhood, redeemed and divine; That the down-trodden nations in triumph may rise, With their feet on their chains, and their brows to the skies. [Chorus]

Children of a free-born race

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #794 (1873) Topics: The Christian Nation Patriotism Lyrics: 1 Children of a free-born race, Happy in your dwelling-place, As your blessings ye retrace, Think from whence they flow: Think of that Creative Hand, Author of the sea and land, By whose power the nations stand In their weal or woe. 2 Here are freedom, health, and peace; Here oppression's surges cease; Streams of knowledge here increase, Deepening far and wide: Science here her tribute pours, Industry collects her stores, Wealth flows in from foreign shores Like a swelling tide. 3 Here, religion undefiled, With an influence pure and mild, Reaches to the humblest child, E'en from door to door: Let us then our offerings bring, Thanks unto the heavenly King; From the heart his praises sing Now and evermore.

Parent of all, omnipotent!

Author: Aspland's Col. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #795 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Nation Patriotism Lyrics: 1 Parent of all, omnipotent! In heaven and earth below! Through all creation's vast extent, Whose streams of goodness flow: 2 Teach me to know from whence I rose, And unto what designed; No private aims may I propose, That injure human kind. 3 To hear my country's lawful voice, May my best thoughts incline; 'Tis reason's law, 'tis virtue's choice, 'Tis nature's call, and thine. 4 Me from fair freedom's sacred cause May nothing e'er divide; Nor grandeur, gold, nor vain applause, Nor friendship false, misguide.
