God bless our native land!

Hymnal: VoP1883 #128 (1883) Meter: 6.4.6.4 Lyrics: 2 God bless our native land! Firm may she ever stand, Thro' storm and night; When the wild tempests rave, Ruler of wind and wave, Do Thou our country save By Thy great might. 2 For her our prayer shall rise To God, above the skies; On Him we wait; Thou who art ever nigh, Guarding with watchful eye, To Thee aloud we cry, God save the State. Amen. Topics: National Festivals Languages: English Tune Title: AMERICA

Nearer, my God, to Thee

Hymnal: VoP1883 #173 (1883) Meter: 6.4.6.4 Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee, E'en though it be a cross That raiseth me; Still all my soul shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 2 Though like a wanderer, Weary and lone, Darkness comes over me, My rest a stone; Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 3 There let my way appear Steps unto heaven; All that Thou sendest me In mercy given; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 4 Then, with my waking thoughts Bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Altars I'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 5 Or, if on joyful wing, Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upward I fly, Still all my song shall be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. Amen. Topics: Consecration; Festivals Languages: English Tune Title: S. EDMUND

We are but strangers here

Hymnal: VoP1883 #215 (1883) Meter: 6.4.6.4 Lyrics: 1 We are but strangers here, Heaven is our Home; Earth is a desert drear, Heaven is our Home. Danger and sorrow stand Round us on every hand, Heaven is our Fatherland, Heaven is our Home. 2 What though the tempests rage? Heaven is our Home; Short is our pilgrimage, Heaven is our Home. And Time's wild wintry blast Soon shall be overpast, We shall reach home at last; Heaven is our Home. 3 There at our Saviour's side, Heaven is our Home: May we be glorified; Heaven is our Home: There are the good and blest, Those we love most and best, Grant us with them to rest; Heaven is our Home. 4 Grant us to murmur not, Heaven is our Home: Whate'er our earthly lot, Heaven is our Home. Grant us at last to stand There at thine own Right Hand Jesus, in Fatherland; Heaven is our Home! Amen. Topics: Burial; Heaven; Festivals Languages: English Tune Title: S. EDMUND

Now the day is over

Hymnal: VoP1883 #21 (1883) Meter: 6.5.6.5 Lyrics: 1 Now the day is over, Night is drawing nigh, Shadows of the evening Steal across the sky. 2 Now the darkness gathers, Stars begin to peep, Birds, and beasts, and flowers Soon will be asleep. 3 Jesus, give the weary Calm and sweet repose, With Thy tenderest blessing May our eyelids close. 4 Through the long night watches May Thine Angels spread Their white wings above me, Watching round my bed. 5 When the morning wakens, Then may I arise Pure and fresh and sinless In Thy holy eyes. 6 Glory to the Father, Glory to the Son, And to Thee, blest Spirit, Whilst all ages run.
