A Hundred Years Ago

Author: Rev. J. H. Martin Hymnal: Fair as the Morning. Hymns and Tunes for Praise in the Sunday-School #171 (1891) First Line: In the distant past, when our century began Refrain First Line: Our fathers bravely fought 'neath the banner of the Lord Lyrics: 1 In the distant past, when our century began, And our land felt a tyrant’s rod, There arose a cry for the sacred rights of man, And a loud appeal to God. Refrain: Our fathers bravely fought ‘neath the banner of the Lord, And they conquered every foe, For the God of might aided freedom and the right, A hundred years ago. 2 For their lives they fought, for our country and for truth, For freedom to worship God; And they gained for us, in our nation’s tired youth, A release from error’s rod. [Refrain] 3 May the word of truth enter every heart and home, And the gospel fresh triumphs win, Till the whole wide world, in a hundred years to come, Be free from every sin. [Refrain] Topics: Anniversary and Children's Day; God and Country Languages: English Tune Title: [In the distant past, when our century began]
