Well, the delightful day will
come
When my dear Lord will bring
me home,
And I shall see
His face;
Then with my Saviour, Brother,
Friend,
A blest eternity I’ll
spend,
Triumphant in
His grace.
O God, beneath Thy Guiding Hand
O God, beneath Thy guiding
hand,
Our exiled fathers
cross’d the sea;
And when they trod the wintry
strand,
With pray’r
and psalm they worshipp’d Thee.
Thou heard’st, well
pleased, the song, the prayer:
Thy blessing came
and still its power
Shall onward through all ages
bear
The memory of
that holy hour.
Laws, freedom, truth, and
faith in God
Came with those
exiles o’er the waves;
And where their pilgrim feet
have trod,
The God they trusted
guards their graves.
And here Thy name, O God of
love,
Their children’s
children shall adore
Till these eternal hills remove
And spring adorns the earth
no more.
America
My country, ’tis of
thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrim’s
pride,
From every mountain side
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 freedom’s
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 freedom’s holy
light;
Protect us with Thy might,
Great God our
King.
In the Cross of Christ I Glory
In the cross of Christ I glory,
Towering o’er
the wrecks of time;
All the light of sacred story
Gathers round
its head sublime.
When the woes of life o’ertake
me,
Hopes deceive
and fears annoy,
Never shall the cross forsake
me:
Lo! it glows with
peace and joy.
When the sun of bliss is beaming
Light and love
upon my way,
From the cross the radiance
streaming,
Add more luster
to the day.
Bane and blessing, pain and
pleasure,
By the cross are
sanctified;
Peace is there that knows
no measure,
Joys that through
all time abide.
Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah
Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim thro’
this barren land;
I am weak, but Thou art mighty;
Hold me with Thy
pow’rful hand;
Bread
of heaven,
Feed me till I want no more.
