O Beautiful, My Country

Author: Frederick L. Hosmer Hymnal: H4BG1935 #80 (1936) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: O beautiful, my country! Lyrics: 1 O beautiful, my country! Be thine a nobler care Than all thy wealth of commerce, Thy harvests waving fair; Be it thy pride to lift up The manhood of the poor; Be thou to the oppressed Fair Freedom's open door. 2 For thee our fathers suffered, For thee they toiled and prayed; Upon thy holy altar Their willing lives they laid; Thou hast no common birthright, Grand memories on thee shine; The blood of pilgrim nations Commingled flows in thine. 3 O beautiful, our country! Round thee in love we draw; Thine is the grace of freedom, The majesty of law: Be righteousness thy sceptre, Justice thy diadem; And on thy shining forehead Be peace the crowning gem. Amen.

All Beautiful the March of Days

Author: Frances W. Wile Hymnal: H4BG1935 #84 (1936) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 All beautiful the march of days, As seasons come and go; The hand that shaped the rose hath wrought The crystal of the snow; Hath sent the hoary frost of heav'n, The flowing waters seal'd, And laid a silent loveliness On hill and wood and field. 2 O'er white expanses sparkling pure The radiant morns unfold; The solemn splendors of the night Burn brighter through the cold; Life mounts in every throbbing vein, Love deepens round the hearth, And clearer sounds the angel hymn, "Goodwill to men of earth." 3 O thou from whose unfathomed law The year in beauty flows, Thyself the vision passing by In crystal and in rose, Day unto day doth utter speech, And night to night proclaim, In ever-changing words of light, The wonder of thy name. Amen. Topics: Nature Tune Title: SHACKLEFORD

God commands her duty; Earth does but reflect his light, mirrors back his beauty; God's the fount whence all things flow, great and small above, below, God's their only maker; We but poorest patterns are of that Mind beyond compare, God our great Creator.
