THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER

HYMN-

Lord of all being, throned afar,

Lord of all Life, below, above.

Thy glory flames from sun and star;

Whose light is truth, whose warmth is love,

Center and soul of every sphere,

Before Thy ever-blazing throne

Yet to each loving heart how near!

We ask no luster of our own.

Sun of our life, Thy quickening ray

Grant us Thy truth to make us free

Sheds on our path the glow of day;

And kindling hearts that burn for Thee,

Star of our hope, Thy softened light

Till all Thy living altars claim

Cheers the long watches of the night.

One holy light, one heavenly flame. Amen.

-Oliver Wendell Holmes
