Prayer…Storch
Hear us, Almighty one!
Hear us, all holy one!
Dark rolls the battle before us.
Father, all praise of Thee!
Father, all thanks to Thee!
That freedom’s banner is o’er us.
Like a consuming brand,
Stretch forth Thy mighty hand,
Over oppression victorious.
Help us maintain the right!
Help us, O god of might!
Help us, Thy cause must be glorious
Help us, though we may fall;
From out the grave we call,
Praise to Thy mercy forever.
All power and glory be
Thine through eternity
Help us. Almighty one!
Amen, Amen

Prayer…by Rev Phillips Brooks
Hymn…A Holland National Air
Words by Oliver Wendell Holmes
Once more, ye sacred towers,
Your solemn dirges sound;
Strew, loving hands, the April flowers.
Once more to deck his mound.
A nation mourns its dead,
Its sorrowing voicesone,
As Israel’s monarch bowed his head
And cried “My son! my son!”
Why mourn for him? – for his
The welcome angel came
Ere yet his eye with age was dim
Or bent his stately frame;
His weapon still was bright,
His high shield was lifted high
To slay the wrong, to save the right.—
What happier hour to die?
Thou orderest all things well;
Thy servant’s work was done;
He lived to hear oppression’s knell,
The shouts for Freedom won.
Hark! From the opening skies
The anthem’s echoing swell,-
“O mourning Land, lift up thine eyes!
God reigneth, All is well!”
