464 While the earth remaineth, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer
and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Gen. viii: 22.
1 Eternal Source of every joy!
Well may Thy praise our lips employ, While in Thy temple we appear: Thy goodness crowns the circling year.
2 The flow'ry Spring, at Thy command, Embalms the air and paints the land: And summer's rays with vigor shine, To raise the corn, and cheer the vine.
3 Thy hand, in Autumn, richly pours, Through all our coasts, redundant stores : E'en Winter, softened by Thy care, A face of horror cannot wear.
4 The seasons, months, the weeks and days, Demand successive songs of praise:
Our grateful homage shall be paid, With opening light, and evening shade.
Ye shall proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof. Levit. xxv: 10.
I 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!
2 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.
3 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.
4 Our fathers' God, to Thee, Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing: Long may our land be bright
God be merciful unto us, and bless us, and cause his face to shine upon us.
I Great God! Thou dost all nations rule, And their affairs control;
Thy power extends o'er all the earth, Thy love from pole to pole.
2 Our native land in mercy view! From heaven, O Lord, look down! Thy kingdom in each heart erect! Maintain Thy rightful crown !
3 On people and on ruler let
Thy blessing, Lord, be shed; To God and country true, may we In wisdom's paths be led.
4 As Thee, their God our fathers owned, So Thou art still our King: Thou only canst our peace maintain, Or our deliverance bring.
5 To Thee all glory we ascribe, From whom salvation came;
In God, our shield, we will rejoice, And ever bless Thy Name.
I Lord, behold us with Thy bless- 3 Lord,dismiss us with Thy blessing;
