Old-Line Primitive Baptist Hymn and Tune Book

44 (7.7.7.7.) Nathan Strong

Swell the anthem, raise the song!

Praises to our God belong;

Saints and angels, join to sing

Praises to the heav'nly King.

Blessings from his lib'ral hand

Flow around this happy land;

Kept by Him, no foes annoy;

Peace and freedom we enjoy.

Here beneath a virtuous sway,

Subjects cheerfully obey,

Never feel oppression's rod,

Ever own and worship God.

Hark! the voice of nature sings

Praises to the King of kings;

Let us join the choral song,

And the grateful notes prolong.
