The Cross His cross was but A common thing Of dogwood tree wood. Upon a tired hill, Desolate it stood; And yet it's arms have reached from sea to sea, Arms so strong that they have set man free; And love so bright and burning long ago Changed the Cross to Gold with it's Glow My cross sometimes Is A weary thing Too hard to bear, A tiny, ugly thing; It floods my life In hopeless care; But with His love I, too, will make That cross of gold, And pour the dark Tear stained wood Into His mould My cross can never Stretch it's arms From sea to sea But it can raise My heart to God, And set me free. |
The First Prayer In Congress In Thatcher's Military Journal, under date of December, 1777 is found a note containing the identical "First Prayer in Congress," made by the Rev. J. Duche |
Oh Lord, our Heavenly Father, High and mighty, King of kings, and Lord of Lords, who dost from Thy throne behold all the dwellers on earth and reignest with power supreme and uncontrolled over all the Kingdoms, Empires and Governments; look down in mercy we beseech Thee, on these American States, who have fled to thee from the rod of the oppressor, and thrown themselves on Thy gracious protection, desiring henseforth to be dependant only on Thee; to Thee,they have appealed for the righteousness of their cause; to Thee dothey now look up for that countenance and support which Thou alone canst give; take them therefore Heavenly Father, under Thy nurturing care; give them wisdom in Council and valor in the field; defeat the malicious designs of our cruel adversaries; convince them of the unrighteousness of their cause; and if they persist in their sanguinary purpose, O, let the voice of Thy own unerring justice, sounding in their hearts, constrain them to drop the weapons of war from their unnerved hands in the day of battle! Be Thou present, O God of wisdom, and direct the councils of this honorable assembly; enable them to settle things on the best and surest foundation. That the scene of blood may be speedily closed; that order, harmony and peace may be effectually restored, and truth and justice, religeon and piety prevail and flourish among Thy people. Preserve the health of their bodies and vigor of their minds; shower down on them, and the millions they here represent, such temporal blessings as Thou seest expe-dient for them in this world, and crown them with everlasting glory in the world to come. All this we ask in the name and through the merits of JESUS CHRIST, THY SON, OUR SAVIOR. AMEN. |
