God of Our Fathers, Whose Almighty Hand

Author: Daniel C. Roberts, 1841-1907 Appears in 447 hymnals Topics: Social Betterment Lyrics: 1 God of our fathers, whose almighty hand Leads forth in beauty all the starry band Of shining worlds in splendor through the skies, Our grateful songs before Thy throne arise. 2 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. 3 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. 4 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. Used With Tune: NATIONAL HYMN

Christmas Bells

Author: Henry W. Longfellow Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 124 hymnals Topics: Social Betterment First Line: I heard the bells on Christmas day Lyrics: 1 I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace of earth, good will to men. 2 I thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along th'unbroken song Of peace on earth, good will to men. 3 And in despair I bowed my head: "There is no peace on earth," I said, "For hate is strong, and mocks the song Of peace on earth, good will to men." 4 Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: "God is not dead, nor doth He sleep; The wrong shall fail, the right prevail, With peace on earth, good will to men." 5 Till, ringing, singing on its way, The world revolved from night to day A voice, a chime, a chant sublime, Of peace on earth, good will to men. Baptist Hymnal, 1991
