God of the nations, Who hast led
Author: F. Edwards Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #203 (1920) Topics: Holy Days National Days Lyrics: 1 God of the nations, Who hast led
Thy children since the world began,
Through doubt and struggle, pain and tears,
unfolding Thy eternal plan;
From countless hilltops as of old
The fire upon the altar flares;
Through countless rites, through countless tongues,
Men offer their imperfect prayers;
Hasten the time of our release,
Bring in the reign of truth and peace.
2 O Jesus Christ, Incarnate Son,
Who bore our flesh that men might see
The Vision of the Perfect Life
Fashioned in their humanity;
By all Thy words of heavenly truth,
By all Thy deeds of mercy wrought,
By all the passion of Thy cross,
By the redemption Thou hast brought;
Hasten the time of our release,
Bring in Thy reign of truth and peace.
3 O Holy Spirit, who dost touch
The prophets with Thy sacred fire,
Eternal Wisdom to whose light
All seekers after truth aspire;
Behold the warring sons of men,
The helpless by the strong oppressed,
The truth with error still concealed,
The evil grudgingly confessed;
Hasten the time of our release,
Bring in Thy reign of truth and peace.
4 O God Triune, Thy Church to-day
In penitence before Thee kneels,
Mourning her years of slothful ease,
Her deafness to the world's appeals;
Divided where she should be one,
Enamoured of a lesser strife,
Tithing the mint and cummin while
Men perish for the Bread of Life;
Hasten the time of our release,
Bring in Thy reign of truth and peace.
5 Restore to us the vision, Lord,
Descend with fires of Pentecost;
Our tongues unloose, our hearts inflame,
To preach the Gospel to the lost;
Here at Thy feet our prayer is made,
Here life and wealth we dedicate;
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
Lord, Thy anointing we await;
Hasten the time of our release,
Bring in Thy reign of truth and peace. Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 113TH
God of the nations, Who hast led
God of our fathers, Whose almighty hand
Author: Daniel C. Roberts Hymnal: The Hymnal #430a (1916) Topics: National Days; Sunday Schools National Days Lyrics:
God of our fathers, whose almighty hand
Leads forth in beauty all the starry band
Of shining worlds in splendour through the skies,
Our grateful songs before thy throne arise.
Thy love divine hath led us in the past,
In this free land by thee our lot is cast;
Be thou our ruler, guardian, guide, and stay,
Thy word our law, thy paths our chosen way.
391
From war's alarms, from deadly pestilence,
Be thy strong arm our ever sure defense;
Thy true religion in our hearts increase,
Thy bounteous goodness nourish us in peace.
Refresh thy people on their toilsome way,
Lead us from night to never-ending day;
Fill all our lives with love and grace divine,
And glory, laud, and praise be ever thine.
Amen.

God of our fathers, Whose almighty hand
Once to every man and nation
Author: J. R. Lowell Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #197 (1920) Topics: Holy Days National Days Lyrics: 1 Once to every man and nation
Comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of truth and falsehood,
For the good or evil side.
Some great cause, God's new Messiah,
Off'ring each the bloom or blight,
And the choice goes by for ever
'Twixt that darkness and that light.
2 Then to side with truth is noble
When we share her wretched crust,
Ere her cause bring fame and profit,
And 'tis prosperous to be just;
Then it is the brave man chooses,
While the coward stands aside
Till the multitude make virtue
Of the faith they have denied.
3 By the light of burning martyrs
Jesus' bleeding feet I track
Toiling up new Calvaries ever
With the cross that turns not back;
New occasions teach new duties,
Time makes ancient good uncouth;
They must upward still and onward,
Who would keep abreast of truth.
4 Though the cause of evil prosper,
Yet 'tis truth alone is strong;
Though her portion be the scaffold,
And upon the throne be wrong,
Yet the scaffold sways the future,
And, behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God with the shadow
Keeping watch above His own.

Once to ev'ry man and nation
O say can you see, by the dawn's early light
Author: Francis Scott Key Hymnal: The Hymnal #429 (1916) Meter: Irregular Topics: National Days; Sunday Schools National Days Lyrics: 1. O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say does the Star-spangled Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
2. O thus be it ever, when free men shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation!
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto, "In God is our trust!"
And the Star-spangled Banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Dread Jehovah, God of nations
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #201a (1898) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: National Days Lyrics: 1 Dread Jehovah, God of nations,
From Thy temple in the skies,
Hear Thy people's supplications.
Now for their deliverance rise.
2 Lo, with deep contrition turning,
Humbly at Thy feet we bend;
Hear us, fasting, praying, mourning;
Hear us, spare us, and defend.
3 Though our sins, our hearts confounding,
Long and loud for vengeance call,
Thou hast mercy more abounding,
Jesus' blood can cleanse them all.
4 Let that love veil our transgression;
Let that blood our guilt efface:
Save Thy people from oppression,
Save from spoil Thy holy place.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: BATTY
