From Our Beloved Nation – Hymn Lyric
From our beloved nation, to heathen climes afar,
The blessings of salvation, the light of Bethlehem’s star,
Has shed its ray of gladness, where sin’s dark tide doth roll,
And from the chains of sadness, has raised the captive soul.
We’ve prayed for olive China, and for the dark Karen,
And wept for fettered Burma with all its holy men.
And asked the God of Heaven, that to His blessed Son
The kingdoms might be given- His will on earth be done.
Then let our prayers and offerings, O Lord, accepted be,
And those who still are suffering thy love and glory see.
From wigwam, hut and cabin, may holy incense rise,
Till Zion wafts the chorus, salvation, through the skies.

From Our Beloved Nation: Extending the Blessings of Salvation to the World
From our beloved nation, we have seen the light of Bethlehem’s star shine brightly in distant lands. The blessings of salvation have reached heathen climes afar, bringing joy and hope to those living in darkness. In this hymn, we celebrate the impact our prayers and offerings have had on nations such as China, Karen, and Burma.
The verse begins by acknowledging the transformational power of salvation. It has served as a ray of gladness, breaking through the sin’s dark tide wherever it may roll. From the depths of sadness, it has uplifted the captive soul, freeing those bound by chains of despair. How incredible it is to witness the immense power of salvation as it reaches the hearts of people across the world!
One particular nation that has been the focus of our prayers is China. In the vast expanse of this beautiful land, there have been countless souls yearning for the love and grace of the heavenly Father. Just as we pray for those in China, we also pray for the dark Karen people. We recognize their struggle and sorrow as they face oppression and hardship. Our hearts are touched, and tears are shed for the people of Burma, who have long suffered under captivity. In our prayers, we earnestly ask God to bless these nations and grant His Son’s kingdom to reign in their midst.
Our genuine desire for the nations to experience God’s love and glory is exemplified in the lyrics of this hymn. We humbly offer our prayers and offerings to the Lord, requesting that they be accepted. We long for those who are still suffering to witness God’s amazing love and experience His glory. The hymn emphasizes the importance of our prayers and offerings in extending the blessings of salvation. We understand that it is through our dedication and commitment that the light of Christ can reach even the darkest corners of the earth.
The hymn’s message extends beyond specific nations. It calls upon believers from various dwellings, such as wigwams, huts, and cabins, to join together in presenting holy incense to the Lord. The imagery of incense rising symbolizes the collective prayers and offerings that ascend to heaven. As we unite our hearts and voices, we long for the day when Zion, God’s holy city, will resound with the joyful chorus of salvation.
In essence, “From Our Beloved Nation” embodies our collective desire to share the blessings of salvation with the world. It serves as a reminder that our prayers and offerings are not in vain. Through our faith and dedication, we can make a meaningful impact on the lives of those who are suffering. We believe that God hears our prayers and accepts our offerings, using them as a channel to extend His love and grace. It is our sincere hope that the nations we pray for will witness the transformative power of salvation and experience the joy and hope that come from knowing Christ.
As we continue to lift up our prayers for the nations, may the light of Bethlehem’s star guide our steps. Let us be steadfast in our commitment to extending the blessings of salvation to those in need. Together, as one unified body, may we fervently pray and offer our hearts and resources, trusting that God’s will shall be done on earth as it is in heaven. May the chorus of salvation resound through the skies, bringing hope and redemption to all who are in darkness.
