Author: Henry Harbaugh Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10203 Lyrics: 1 God, most mighty, sovereign Lord,
By the heavenly hosts adored!
God of nations, King of kings,
Head of all created things!
2 By Thy saints with joy confessed,
God o’er all for ever blest,
Lo, we come before Thy throne
In our Savior’s name alone.
3 Thee, O Christ, we worship, bless,
Head of all Thy Church confess;
Hear the praises, and the plaints,
Of Thy needy, sighing saints.
4 Let Thy blood our ransom be;
Save us as we trust in Thee.
Pleading at Thy throne we stand,
Save Thy people, bless our land.
5 By Thyself, the source of grace;
By Thy headship of our race;
By Thy coming from the skies;
By Thine awful sacrifice!
6 By Thy reign o’er all on earth,
For its new, and second birth:
In Thy merits let us stand,
Save, O Lord, and bless our land.
7 From all public sin and shame;
From ambition’s grasping aim,
From the pride that brings a fall,
Sins of sense whose dregs are gall.
8 From the love of vanity;
From forgetfulness of Thee:
From the judgments of Thy hand,
Spare Thy people, spare our land.
9 From rebellion, war and death;
From the pestilential breath:
From dread famine’s awful stroke;
From oppression’s galling yoke.
10 From the earthquake’s stunning blow;
From all public fear and woe;
Spare us, spare us, Lord most high,
Hear Thy people’s humble cry.
11 On our fields of grass and grain,
Drop, O Lord! the kindly rain;
O’er our wide and goodly land,
Crown the labors of each hand.
12 Let Thy kind protection be
O’er our commerce on the sea;
Open, Lord! Thy bounteous hand,
Bless Thy people, bless our land.
13 Let, O Lord! our rulers be
Men that love and honor Thee;
Let the powers by Thee ordained
Be in righteousness maintained.
14 In the people’s hearts increase
Love of piety and peace;
Thus united we shall stand
One wide, free, and happy land.
15 God the Father, let Thy love
Shine upon us from above;
God the Son, our Savior, plead,
With Thy blood, for all we need.
16 God the Holy Ghost, impart
Healing power to every heart;
Triune God, O hear our plea,
Save us as we trust in Thee.
