NATIONAL HYMN.. 10 10, 10 10.

OD of our fathers, Whose almighty hand

Of shining worlds in splendor through the skies,
Our grateful songs before Thy throne arise.

2 Thy love divine hath led us in the past;
In this free land by Thee our lot is cast;
Be Thou our Ruler, Guardian, Guide, and Stay;
Thy Word our law, Thy paths our chosen way.

3 From war's alarms, from deadly pestilence,
Be Thy strong arm our ever sure defence;
Thy true religion in our hearts increase,
Thy bounteous goodness nourish us in peace.

4 Refresh Thy people on their toilsome way,
Lead us from night to never-ending day;
Fill all our lives with love and grace divine,
And glory, laud, and praise be ever Thine.

RUSSIAN HYMN. 11 10, 11 9.

OD the All-merciful! earth hath forsaken

Bid not Thy wrath in its terrors awaken:
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord!

word;

2 God the All-righteous One! man hath defied Thee;
Yet to eternity standeth Thy Word;

Falsehood and wrong shall not tarry beside Thee:
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord!

3 God the All-wise! by the fire of Thy chastening
Earth shall to freedom and truth be restored;
Through the thick darkness Thy kingdom is hastening:
Thou wilt give peace in Thy time, O Lord!

4 So shall Thy children with thankful devotion

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

"Peace to the nations, and praise to the Lord."

VENI, VENI, EMMANUEL. 88, 88, 8 8.

3 O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine Advent here;

And drive away the shades of night,
And pierce the clouds and bring us light!

4 O come, Thou Key of David, come,
And open wide our heavenly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.
