Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #277 (1787) Topics: Blessings of a nation; Blessings of a nation First Line: Let Zion praise the mighty God Lyrics: 1 Let Zion praise thy mighty God,
And make his honours known abroad;
For sweet the joy, our songs to raise,
And glorious is the work of praise.
2 Our children live secure and blest;
Our shores have peace, our cities rest;
He feeds our sons with finest wheat,
And adds his blessing to their meat.
3 The changing seasons he ordains,
The early and the latter rains;
His flakes of snow like wool he sends,
And thus the springing corn defends.
4 With hoary frost he strews the ground:
His hail descends with dreadful sound:
The icy bands the rivers hold,
And terror arms his wintry cold.
5 He bids the southern breezes blow;
The ice dissolves, the waters flow:
But he hath nobler works and ways
To call his people to his praise.
6 Thro' all our realm his laws are shown;
His gospel through the nation known;
He hath not thus reveal'd his word
To every land: praise ye the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 147 Languages: English

Not alone for mighty empire
Author: Rev. William Pierson Merrill Hymnal: The Hymnal #416 (1950) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth The Nation; Nation, The Lyrics: 1 Not alone for mighty empire
Stretching far o'er land and sea,
Not alone for bounteous harvests,
Lift we up our hearts to Thee.
Standing in the living present,
Memory and hope between,
Lord, we would with deep thanksgiving
Praise Thee most for things unseen.
2 Not for battleship and fortress,
Not for conquests of the sword;
But for conquests of the spirit
Give we thanks to Thee, O Lord;
For the priceless gift of freedom,
For the home, the church, the school;
For the open door to manhood
In a land the people rule.
3 For the armies of the faithful,
Souls that passed and left no name;
For the glory that illumines
Patriot lives of deathless fame;
For our prophets and apostles,
Loyal to the living Word,
For all heroes of the Spirit,
Give we thanks to Thee, O Lord.
4 God of justice, save the people
From the clash of race and creed,
From the strife of class and faction:
Make our nation free indeed.
Keep her faith in simple manhood
Strong as when her life began,
Till it find its full fruition
In the brotherhood of man.
Amen. Tune Title: HYFRYDOL

For the hour that brings release;

Cries aloud for sin to cease;
And the homesteads and the woodlands
Plead in silence for their peace.

Cleave our darkness with Thy sword:
Feed the faint and hungry peoples
With the richness of Thy Word:
Cleanse the body of this nation
Through the glory of the Lord.

That comfort cruel men;
From sale and profanation
Of honor and the sword;
From sleep and from damnation,
Deliver us, good Lord!

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.

For in Thy favor they are strong.

Happy the city, where their sons
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #605 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Nation's prosperity; Blessings of a nation Lyrics:
Happy the city where their sons,
Like pillars round a palace set,
And daughters, bright as polished stones,
Give strength and beauty to the state.
Happy the country where the sheep,
Cattle, and corn, have large increase;
Where men securely work or sleep,
Nor sons of plunder break the peace.
Happy the nation thus endowed,
But more divinely blest are those
On whom the all-sufficient God
Himself with all his grace bestows.
Scripture: Psalm 144:12-15 Languages: English
Happy the city, where their sons
Before the Lord We Bow

The 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 heav'n's high King.
2 The nation you have blessed
May well your love declare,
From foes and fears at rest,
Protected by your care.
For this fair land,
For this bright day
Our thanks we pay --
Gifts of your hand.
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,
And, joyful, sing
To heav'n's high King
Salvation's song! Languages: English Tune Title: DARWALL’S 148TH
Before the Lord We Bow
