The sentiments of those lost stanzas are definitely found in anywhere God's grace to man is referenced, whether it be a hymnal or the Constitution.

I remember singing those stanzas in grade school in the late 50s regularly. Oh how our nation has fallen to a dismal place, when our songs of freedom's cry are diminished and maligned.

That was excellent! A purposeful lack in our education system that every child does not know these things, let alone every American adult!
