EN 4795 In Homes Where Pride and Splendor

Rom.15.7

Versi Version 1

1

In homes where pride and splendor

Their silken banners flare,

In homes where childhood tender

Is crushed by every care,

Is heard the cry of anguish

From many a helpless slave,

Where Satan’s captives languish,

And only Christ can save.

2

What tho’ our flag in glory

Floats over freedom’s land,

While degradation’s story

Is writ on every hand,

While in the marts of labor,

In lordly halls of state,

The Christlike love of neighbor

Is lost in greed and hate?

3

Shall we, to whom is given

For sin the only cure,

Vouchsafed to earth by Heaven,

While nations shall endure;

Shall we, in this her trial,

Forget our nation’s weal,

Endure no self denial,

Be wanting in our zeal?

4

O God, whilst evil lowers

In clouds of sin and shame,

May these cold hearts of ours

Burst into living flame,

To light and lead our nation

In this her time of need,

Until in Christ’s salvation

She shall be free indeed.
