"...and proclaim liberty throughout the land
to all its inhabitants."
Leviticus 25:10
US Constitution With Liberty Bell
From foes that would the land devour,
From guilty pride and lust of power,
From wild sedition's lawless hour,
From yoke of slavery,
From blinded zeal by faction led,
From giddy change by fancy bred,
From poisonous error's serpent head
Good Lord, preserve us free!
Defend, O God! with guardian hand,
The laws and ruler of our land,
And grant our Church Thy grace to stand,
In faith and unity!
"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people He has chosen for His own inheritance."
Psalm 33:12
"From Foes That Would The Land Devour"
Words by Reginald Heber
