540 RUSSIAN HYMN 11.10.11.9

(J=108) God the All- Mer- ci-ful! earth hath for- sak

not Thy wrath in its

4 So will Thy people, with thankful devotion,

Praise Him Who saved them from peril and sword,
Shouting in chorus, from ocean to ocean,

Peace to the nations, and praise to the Lord. Amen.`

HENRY F. CHORLEY and JOHN ELLERTON

2 Wake in our breast the living fires,
The holy faith that warmed our sires;
Thy hand hath made our nation free;
To die for her is serving Thee.

3 Be Thou a pillared flame to show
The midnight snare, the silent foe;
And when the battle thunders loud,
Still guide us in its moving cloud.

4 God of all nations! Sovereign Lord!
In Thy dread Name we draw the sword,
We lift the starry flag on high
That fills with light our stormy sky.

5 From treason's rent, from murder's stain,
Guard Thou its folds till peace shall reign,
Till fort and field, till shore and sea,
Join our loud anthem, praise to Thee!

Amen.

try strand, With prayer and psalm they wor-shipped Thee. A-men.

2 Thou heard'st, well pleased, the song, the prayer:
Thy blessing came; and still its power

Shall onward through all ages bear

The memory of that holy hour.

3 Laws, freedom, truth, and faith in God
Came with those exiles o'er the waves; ]
And where their pilgrim feet have trod,
The God they trusted guards their graves.

4 And here Thy name, O God of love,
Their children's children shall adore,
Till these eternal hills remove,

And spring adorns the earth no more. Amen.
