Christ, by heav'nly hosts adored

Author: Henry Harbaugh Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 50 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ, by heav'nly hosts adored, Gracious, mighty, sov'reign Lord, God of nations, King of kings, Head of all created things, By the Church with joy confessed, God o'er all, for ever blessed, Pleading at thy throne we stand, Save thy people, bless our land. 2 On our fields of grass and grain Send, O Lord, the kindly rain; O'er our wide and goodly land Crown the labors of each hand. Let thy kind protection be O'er our commerce on the sea. Open, Lord, thy bounteous hand; Bless our people, bless our land. 3 Let our rulers ever be Men that love and honor thee; Let the pow'rs by thee ordained Be in righteousness maintained. In the people's hearts increase Love of piety and peace. Thus united, may we stand One wide, free, and happy land. Amen.

Stanzas on Freedom

Author: James Russell Lowell Appears in 61 hymnals First Line: Men! whose boast it is that ye Lyrics: 1. Men! whose boast it is that ye come of fathers brave and free, If there breathe on earth a slave, are ye truly free and brave? If ye do not feel the chain, when it works a brother's pain, Are ye not base slaves indeed, slaves unworthy to be freed? 2, Women! who shall one day bear, sons to breathe New England air, If ye hear, without a blush, deeds to make the roused blood rush Like red lava through your veins, for your sisters now in chains — Answer! are ye fit to be mothers of the brave and free? 3. Is true Freedom but to break fetters for our own dear sake, And, with leathern hearts, forget that we owe mankind a debt? No! true Freedom is to share all the chains our brothers wear, And, with heart and hand, to be earnest to make others free! 4. They are slaves who fear to speak for the fallen and the weak; They are slaves who will not choose hatred, scoffing, and abuse, Rather than in silence shrink from the truth they needs must think; They are slaves who dare not be in the right with two or three.

At the Lamb's high feast we sing

Author: Robert Campbell, 1814-68 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 190 hymnals Lyrics: 1 At the Lamb's high feast we sing Praise to our victorious King: Who hath washed us in the tide Flowing from his piercèd side; Praise we him whose love divine Gives the guests his blood for wine, Gives his body for the feast, Love the Victim, Love the Priest. 2 *Where the Paschal blood is poured, Death's dark angel sheathes his sword; Israel's hosts triumphant go Through the wave that drowns the foe. Christ, the Lamb whose blood was shed, Paschal victim, Paschal bread! With sincerity and love Eat we Manna from above. 3 Mighty Victim from on high, Powers of hell beneath thee lie; Death is broken in the fight, Thou hast brought us life and light. Now thy banner thou dost wave, Conquering Satan and the grave. See the prince of darkness quelled; Heaven's bright gates are open held. 4 Paschal triumph, Paschal joy, Only sin can this destroy; From sin's death do thou set free, Souls re-born, dear Lord, in thee. Hymns of glory, songs of praise, Father, unto thee we raise. Risen Lord, all praise to thee, Ever with the Spirit be.
