Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining, We all do extol Thee, Thou Leader triumphant, |
|
Faith of our fathers, living still, In spite of dungeon, fire and sword; O how our hearts beat high with joy Whenever we hear that glorious Word! Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to thee till death. To win all nations unto Thee; And through the truth that comes from God, We all shall then be truly free. Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to thee till death. Both friend and foe in all our strife; And preach Thee, too, as love knows how By kindly words and virtuous life. Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to thee till death. |

Our God, our Help in ages past, Our Hope for years to come, Our Shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal Home! Thy saints have dwelt secure; Sufficient is Thine arm alone, And our defense is sure. Or Earth received her frame, From everlasting Thou art God, To endless years the same. Return, ye sons of men! All nations rose from earth at first And turn to earth again. Are like an evening gone; Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun. With all their cares and fears, Are carried downward by the flood, And lost in following years. Bears all its sons away; They fly forgotten as a dream Dies at the opening day. Pleased with the morning light; The flowers beneath the mowers hand Lie withering ere tis night. Our hope for years to come, Be Thou our guard while life shall last, And our eternal Home. |

Did we in our strength confide, our striving would be losing; And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us, That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth; |

Refrain All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful: The Lord God made them all. Each little bird that sings, God made their glowing colors, And made their tiny wings. All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful: The Lord God made them all. The river running by, The sunset and the morning That brightens up the sky. All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful: The Lord God made them all. The poor man at his gate, He made them high or lowly, And ordered their estate. All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful: The Lord God made them all. The pleasant summer sun, The ripe fruits in the garden: God made them every one. All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful: The Lord God made them all. The meadows where we play, The rushes by the water, We gather every day. All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful: The Lord God made them all. And lips that we might tell How great is God Almighty, Who has made all things well. |

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus going on before. Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe; Forward into battle see His banners go! Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus going on before. On then, Christian soldiers, on to victory! Hells foundations quiver at the shout of praise; Brothers lift your voices, loud your anthems raise. Like a mighty army moves the church of God; Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod. We are not divided, all one body we, One in hope and doctrine, one in charity. What the saints believèd, that I believe too. Long as earth endureth, men the faith will hold, Kingdoms, nations, empires, in destruction rolled. But the church of Jesus constant will remain. Gates of hell can never gainst that church prevail; We have Christs own promise, and that cannot fail. Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song. Glory, laud and honor unto Christ the King, This through countless ages men and angels sing. |

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation! O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation! All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near; Praise Him in glad adoration. Shelters thee under His wings, yea, so gently sustaineth! Hast thou not seen how thy desires ever have been Granted in what He ordaineth? Health hath vouchsafed and, when heedlessly falling, hath stayed thee. What need or grief ever hath failed of relief? Wings of His mercy did shade thee. Surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend thee. Ponder anew what the Almighty can do, If with His love He befriend thee. Who, when the elements madly around thee are raging, Biddeth them cease, turneth their fury to peace, Whirlwinds and waters assuaging. Who, when the godless do triumph, all virtue confounding, Sheddeth His light, chaseth the horrors of night, Saints with His mercy surrounding. All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him. Let the Amen sound from His people again, Gladly for aye we adore Him. |

and the truth shall make you free.
John 8:32
My country, tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims pride,
From every mountainside,
Let freedom ring!My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills,
Like that above.Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees,
Sweet freedoms song;
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.Our fathers God, to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing;
Long may our land be bright
With freedoms holy light;
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God, our King.
