Page 27 - My native country, thee, — Land of the noble free, — Thy name I love: I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills; My heart with rapture thrills Like that above.

Page 20 - Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin: Let the healing streams abound; Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee: Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity.
Page 43 - SUN of my soul, Thou Saviour dear, It is not night if Thou be near : O may no earth-born cloud arise To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes.
Page 10 - The tumult and the shouting dies — The captains and the kings depart — Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice, An humble and a contrite heart.
