My Country, 'Tis of Thee
Author: Samuel F. Smith, 1808-1895 Hymnal: WHSB1986 #762 (1986) Tune Title: AMERICA Lyrics: 1 My country, ’tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims’ pride,
From ev'ry mountainside
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
With freedom’s holy light;
Protect us by thy might,
Great God, our King. Topics: Freedom; Nation; Peace Languages: English

Lift Every Voice and Sing
Author: James W. Johnson, 1871-1938 Hymnal: WHSB1986 #641 (1986) Meter: 6.6.10.6.6.10.14.14.6.6.10 Tune Title: ANTHEM First Line: Lift ev'ry voice and sing Lyrics: 1 Lift every voice and sing,
Till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the list'ning skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun
Of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won.
2 Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chast'ning rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our people sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come, treading our path thro' the blood of the slaughtered;
Out from the gloomy past,
Till now we stand at last
Where the bright gleam of our bright star is cast.
3 God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who hast by Thy might,
Led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met thee;
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget thee.
Shadowed beneath thy hand,
May we forever stand,
True to our God, True to our native land.

Joy to the World
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: WHSB1986 #399 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: ANTIOCH First Line: Joy to the world! the Lord is come Lyrics: 1 Joy to the world! the Lord is come:
Let earth receive her King;
Let ev'ry heart prepare him room,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven, and heav'n and nature sing.
2 Joy to the world! the Savior reigns:
Let us, our songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.
3 No more let sin and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make his blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.
4 He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness,
And wonders of his love,
And wonders of his love,
And wonders, wonders of his love.
