Oh, the Lord's been good to me.         
So now I thank the lord                 
For giving me the things I need         
The sun, the rain and the               
  appleseed;                            
Oh, the Lord's been good to me.

Praise God, from whom all blessings     
  flow;                                 
Praise Him all creatures here

Day is done,                            
Gone the sun,                           
From the lake,                          
From the hills,                         
From the sky,                           
All is well,                            
Safely rest,                            
God is nigh.                            
                                        
Fading light                            
Dims the sight,                         
And a star gems the sky,                
Gleaming bright,                                
From afar,                              
Drawing nigh,                           
Falls the night.                        
                                        
Thanks and praise,                      
For our days,                           
Neath the sun,                          
Neath the stars,                        
Neath the sky,                          
As we go,                               
This we know,                           
God is nigh.

My country, 'Tis of Thee,               
Sweet land of liberty,

Land where my fathers died,

Let freedom ring.                            
                                        
Our fathers' God, to Thee,              
Author of liberty,                      
To Thee we sing;                        
Long may our land be bright             
With freedom's holy light;              
Protect us by Thy might,                
Great God, our King!                    
                                        
9    AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL             
                                        
O beautiful for spacious skies,         
For amber waves of grain,               
For purple mountain majesties           
Above the fruited plain!                
America!  America!

O beautiful for patriot dream           
That sees beyond the years              
Thine alabaster cities gleam            
Undimmed by human tears!                
America!

11    THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER          
                                        
Oh! say can you see,                    
By the dawn's early light,              
What so proudly we hailed               
At the twilight's last gleaming?        
Whose broad stripes and bright          
  stars,                                
Through the perilous fight,             
O'er the ramparts we watched were       
  so gallantly streaming?               
And the rockets red glare, the          
  bombs bursting in air,                
Gave proof through the night that       
  our flag was still there.             
Oh! say does that star-spangled         
  banner yet wave                       
O'er the land of the free and the       
  home of the brave?                    
                                        
On the shore, dimly seen                
Thro' the mist of the deep,             
Where the foe's haughty host            
In dread silence reposes,               
What is that which the breeze,          
O'er the tower steep,                   
As it fitfully blows,                   
Half conceals, half discloses?          
Now it catches the gleam of the         
  morning's first beam,                 
In full glory reflected, now shines     
  on the stream:                        
'Tis the star-spangled banner.          
Oh! long may it wave                    
O'er the land of the free and the       
  home of the brave.                    
                                        
And where is that band                  
Who so vauntingly swore                 
That the havoc of war and the           
  battle's confusion                    
A home and a country should leave       
  us no more?                           
Their blood has washed out their        
foul footstep's pollution.              
No refuge could save the hireling       
  and slave                             
From the terror of flight, or the       
  gloom of the grave,                   
And the star-spangled banner in         
  triumph doth wave                     
O'er the land of the free and the       
  home of the brave.                    
                                        
Oh! thus be it ever,                    
When freemen shall stand                
Between their loved homes and the       
  war's desolation,                     
Blest with vict'ry and peace,           
May the Heav'n-rescued land             
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and     
preserved us a nation.                  
Then conquer we must,                   
For our cause it is just,               
And this be our motto--                 
"In God is our trust."                  
And the star-spangled banner in         
  triumph doth wave                     
O'er the land of the free, and the      
  home of the brave.

16     BEAUTIFUL SAVIOR                 
                                        
Beautiful Savior,                       
King of creation,                       
Son of God and son of Man!              
Truly I'd love thee,                    
Truly I'd serve thee,                   
Light of my soul, my joy, my crown.     
                                        
Fair are the meadows,                   
Fair are the woodlands,                 
Robed in flow'rs of blooming spring     
Jesus is fairer,                        
Jesus is purer,                         
He makes our sorrowing spirit sing.     
                                        
Fair is the sunshine,                   
Fair is the moonlight,                  
Bright the sparkling stars on high;     
Jesus shines brighter,                  
Jesus shines purer                      
Than all the angels in the sky.         
                                        
Beautiful Savior,                       
Lord of the nations,                    
Son of God and Son of Man!              
Glory and Honor,                        
Praise, adoration,                      
Now and forevermore be thine!           
                                        
17       AMAZING GRACE                  
                                        
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound      
That saved a wretch like me!            
I once was lost, but now am found,      
Was blind, but now I see.               
                                        
'Twas grace that taught my heart to     
  fear,                                 
And grace my fears relieved;            
How precious did that grace appear      
The hour I first believed!              
                                        
Through many dangers, toils and         
  snares                                
I have already come;                    
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus     
  far,                                  
And grace will lead me home.            
                                        
It made my wounded spirit whole,        
And calmed my troubled mind,            
It's living food for many a soul,       
That weary men may find.                
                                        
The Lord has promised good to me;       
His Word my hope secures;               
He will my shield and portion be        
As long as life endures.                
                                        
When we've been gone ten thousand       
  years,                                
Bright shining as the sun;              
We've no less days, to sing God's       
  praise                                
Than when we'd first begun.             
                                        
                                        
18       HOW GREAT THOU ART             
                                        
O Lord my God!                          
When I in awesome wonder,               
Consider all the worlds Thy hands       
  have made.                            
I see the stars, I hear the rolling     
  thunder,                              
Thy power throughout the universe       
  displayed.                            
                                        
Chorus:                                 
Then sings my soul, my savior God       
  to Thee,                              
How great thou art!                     
How great thou art!                     
Then sings my soul, my savior God       
  to Thee,                              
How great thou art!                     
How great thou art!                     
                                        
When through the woods and forest       
  glades I wander,                      
I hear the birds sing sweetly in        
  the trees;                            
When I look down from lofty             
  mountain grandure                     
And hear the brook and                  
  feel the gentle breeze;               
                                        
Chorus                                  
                                        
But when I think that God, his Son      
   not sparing,                         
Sent him to die, I scarce can take      
  it in,                                
That on the cross my burden gladly      
  bearing He                            
bled and died to take away my sin;      
                                        
Chorus                                  
                                        
When Christ shall come, with shout      
  of acclamation,                       
And take me home, what joy shall        
  fill my heart!                        
Then I shall bow in humble              
  adoration                             
And there proclaim, "My God, how        
  great thou art!"                      
                                        
Chorus                                  
                                        
                                        
19  CHILDREN OF THE HEAVENLY FATHER     
                                        
Children of the heav'nly Father         
Safely in his bosom gather,             
Nestling bird or star in heaven         
Such a refuge ne'er was given.          
                                        
God his own doth tend and nourish,      
In his holy courts they flourish.       
From all evil things he spares          
  them,                                 
In his mighty arms he bears them.       
                                        
Neither life nor death shall ever       
From the Lord his children sever;       
Unto them his grace he showeth          
And their sorrows all he knoweth.       
                                        
Though he giveth or he taketh,          
God his children ne'er forsaketh;       
His the loving purpose solely           
To preserve them pure and holy.         
                                        
                                        
20    FAITH OF OUR FATHERS              
                                        
Faith of our fathers, living still      
In spite of dungeon, fire and sword     
Oh, how our hearts beat high with       
  joy                                   
Whene'er we hear that glorious word     
                                        
Chorus:                                 
Faith of our father, holy faith,        
We will be true to thee till death.     
                                        
The martyrs, chained in prisons         
  dark,                                 
Were still in heart and conscience      
  free;                                 
And blest would be their children's     
  fate                                  
If they like them should die for        
  thee.                                 
                                        
Chorus                                  
                                        
Faith of our fathers! We will love      
Both friend and foe in all our          
  strife;                               
Proclaim thee, too, as love knows       
  how,                                  
By saving Word and Faithful life.       
                                        
Chorus                                  
                                        
                                        
21   JOYFUL, JOYFUL WE ADORE THEE       
                                        
Joyful, Joyful we adore thee,           
God of glory, Lord of love!             
Hearts unfold like flow'rs before       
  thee,                                 
Praising thee, their sun above.         
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,     
Drive the gloom of doubt away.          
Giver of immortal gladness,             
Fill us with the light of day.          
                                        
All thy works with joy surround         
  thee,                                 
Earth and heav'n reflect thy rays,      
Stars and angles sing around thee,      
Center of unbroken praise.              
Field and forest, vale and mountain     
Flow'ry meadow, flashing sea,           
Chanting bird, and flowing fountain     
Call us to rejoice in thee.             
                                        
                                        
22   THIS IS MY FATHER'S WORLD          
                                        
This is my Father's world,              
And to my list'ning ears                
All nature sings and round me rings     
  the music of the spheres.             
This is my Father's world;              
I rest me in the thought                
Of rocks and trees, of skies and        
  seas;                                 
His hand the wonders wrought.           
                                        
This is my Father's world;              
The birds their carols raise;           
The morning light, the lilly white,     
Declare their maker's praise.           
This is my Father's world;              
He shines in all that's fair.           
In the rustling grass I hear him        
  pass;                                 
He speaks to me every where.            
                                        
This is my Father's world;              
Oh, let me not forget                   
That though the wrong seems oft so      
  strong,                               
God is the ruler yet.                   
This is my Father's world;              
Why should my heart be sad?             
The Lord is King, let the heavens       
  ring;                                 
God reigns, let the earth be glad!      
                                        
                                        
23    LET ALL THINGS NOW LIVING         
                                        
Let all things now living               
A song of thanksgiving                  
To God the creator triumphantly         
  raise;                                
Who fashioned and made us,              
  protected and stayed us,              
Who still guides us on to the end       
  of our days.                          
God's banners are o'er us, his          
  light goes before us,                 
A pillar of fire shining forth in       
  the night,                            
Till shadows have vanished and          
  darkness is banished,                 
As forward we travel from light         
  into light.                           
                                        
His law he enforces, the stars in       
  their courses                         
And sun in its orbit obediently         
  shine;                                
The hills and the mountains, the        
  rivers and fountains,                 
The deeps of the ocean proclaim him     
  devine.                               
We too should be voicing our love       
  and rejoicing;                        
With glad adoration a song let us       
  raise                                 
Till all things now living unite in     
  thanksgiving:                         
"To God in the highest, hosanna and     
  praise!"

When the sun refuses to shine.

Oh when the dead, in Christ shall       
  rise,                                 
Oh Lord I want to be in that number

27     BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC      
                                        
Mine eyes have seen the glory of        
  the coming of the Lord,               
He is trampling out the vintage         
Where the grapes of wrath are           
  stored,                               
He has loosed the fateful lightning     
  of his terrible swift sword,          
His truth is marching on.               
                                        
CHORUS:

Glory, Glory Hallelujah,                
Glory, Glory Hallelujah,                
His truth is marching on.               
                                        
He has sounded forth the trumpet        
  that shall never call retreat,        
He is sifting out the hearts of men     
  before His judgement seat. Be         
swift my soul to answer him, be         
  jubilant my feet,                     
Our God is marching on.                 
                                        
CHORUS                                  
                                        
In the beauty of the lilies Christ      
  was born across the sea,              
With a glory in his bosom,              
That transfigures you and me,           
As He died to make men Holy, let us     
  die to make men free,                 
His truth is marching on.

Coming for to carry me home.            
                                        
I looked over Jordan, and what did      
  I see,                                
Coming for to carry me home,            
A band of angels coming after me,

If you get there before I do,           
Coming for to carry me home,            
Tell all my friends that I'm coming

  down,                                 
Coming for to carry me home,            
But still my soul feels heaven

If tomorrow all the things were         
  gone,                                 
I'd worked for all my life.             
And I had to start again,               
With just my children and my wife.      
                                        
I'd thank my lucky stars,               
To be living here today.                
'Cause the flag still stands for        
  freedom,                              
And they can't take that away.          
                                        
And I'm Proud to be an American,        
Where at least I know I'm free.         
And I won't forget the men who died     
Who gave that right to me.              
And I'd gladly stand up next to you     
And defend her still today.             
'Cause there ain't no doubt, I love     
  this land.                            
God bless the U.S.A.                    
                                        
From the lakes of Minnesota,            
To the hills of Tennessee,              
Across the plains of Texas,             
From sea to shining sea.                
From Detroit down to Houston.           
And New York to L.A.                    
Well, there's pride in every            
American heart,                         
And it's time we stand and say...       
That I'm proud to be an American,       
Where at least I know I'm free.         
And I won't forget the men who          
  died,                                 
Who gave that right to me.              
And I'd gladly stand up next to you     
And defend her still today.             
'Cause there ain't no doubt, I love     
  this land.                            
God Bless the U.S.A.                    
                                        
And I'm proud to be an American,        
Where at least I know I'm free.         
And I won't forget the men who          
  died,                                 
Who gave that right to me.              
And I'd gladly stand up next to you     
And defend her still today.             
'Cause there ain't no doubt, I love     
  this land.                            
God Bless the U.S.A.
