O Beautiful for Spacious Skies (America the Beautiful)
Author: Katharine Lee Bates, 1859-1929 Hymnal: AMEC1984 #569 (2011) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Person Name: Katharine Lee Bates, 1859-1929 First Line: O beautiful for spacious skies Lyrics: 1 O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.
2 O beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law.
3 O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness,
And every gain divine.
4 O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam,
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea. Topics: Kingdom of God on Earth Patriotic; Brotherhood; National; Nature Scripture: Psalm 33:22 Languages: English Tune Title: MATERNA

O For a Faith that Will Not Shrink
Author: William H. Bathurst, 1796-1877 Hymnal: AMEC1984 #428 (2011) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: William H. Bathurst, 1796-1877 Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink,
Though pressed by every foe,
That will not tremble on the brink
Of any earthly woe.
2 That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chastening rod,
But, in the hour of grief or pain,
Will lean upon its God;
3 A faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without:
That when in danger knows no fear,
In darkness feels no doubt;
4 That bears, unmoved, the world’s dread frown,
Nor heeds the scornful smile;
That seas of trouble cannot drown,
Nor Satan’s arts beguile;
5 A faith that keeps the narrow way
Till life’s last hour is fled,
And with a pure and heavenly ray
Illumes up a dying bed:
6 Lord, give us such a faith as this;
And then, what e’er may come,
I’ll taste, e’en now, the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home. Topics: The Christian Life Faith and Assurance; Assurance; Consolation; Faith Scripture: Luke 17:5 Languages: English Tune Title: MANOAH

Author: C. M. Battersby Hymnal: AMEC1984 #339 (2011) Person Name: C. M. Battersby First Line: If I have wounded any soul today Lyrics: 1 If I have wounded any soul today,
If I have caused one foot to go astray,
If I have walked in my own willful way,
Dear Lord, forgive.
2 If I have uttered idle words or vain,
If I have turned aside from want or pain
Lest I offend some other through the strain,
Dear Lord, forgive.
3 If I have been perverse, or hard, or cold,
If I have longed for shelter in Thy fold,
When Thou hast given me some fort to hold,
Dear Lord, forgive.

Forgive the secret sins I do not see;
O guide me, love me, and my keeper be,
Dear Lord, forgive.

And bear the crown of life away,
And love Him more in heaven. [Refrain]

The Truth of God Shall Still Endure
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: AMEC1984 #59 (2011) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Lyrics: 1 The truth of God shall still endure,
And firm His promise stand;
Believing souls may rest secure
In His almighty hand.

He would condemn their rage,
And render fruitless their design
Against His heritage.

Proclaims His faithfulness;
He will His purposes perform,
His promises of grace.
4 The hills and mountains melt away,
But He is still the same;
Let saints to Him their homage pay
And magnify His name.
Amen.

How low He stooped, how high He rose,

Salvation well deserves the praise
Of men and angels, too,

Burst forth from every eye.

The wondering angels see;
Be thou astonished, O my soul;
He shed those tears for thee.

Each sin demands a tear;
In heaven alone no sin is found,
And there’s no weeping there. Topics: Jesus Christ Suffering and Death; Jesus Passion Scripture: Isaiah 53:3 Languages: English Tune Title: GOLDEN HILL
