Swell the Anthem, Raise the Song
Swell the Anthem, Raise the Song | |
Nathan Strong, 1799
| Swell the anthem, raise the song; Praises to our God belong. Saints and angels join to sing Praises to the heav'nly King. Blessings from His lib'ral hand Flow around this happy land. Kept by Him, no foes annoy; Peace and freedom we enjoy. | 2. Here, beneath a peaceful sway, May we cheerfully obey, Never feel oppression's rod, Ever own and worship God. Hark, the voice of nature sings Praises to the King of kings. Let us join the choral song And the grateful notes prolong. Amen. |
