great winds thy clarions, lightnings thy sword:
show forth thy pity on high where thou reignest:
give to us peace in our time, O Lord.
2 God the All-merciful! earth hath forsaken
meekness and mercy, and slighted thy word;
bid not thy wrath in its terrors awaken;
give to us peace in our time, O Lord.
3 God, the All-righteous One! we have defied thee;
yet to eternity standeth thy word;
falsehood and wrong shall not tarry beside thee;
give to us peace in our time, O Lord.
4 God the All-wise! by the fire of thy chastening,
earth shall to freedom and truth be restored;
through the thick darkness thy Kingdom is hastening;
thou wilt give peace in thy time, O Lord.
5 So shall thy children, with thankful devotion,
praise him who saved them from peril and sword,
singing in chorus, from ocean to ocean,
peace to the nations, and praise to the Lord. Topics: The Church Celebrates National Life; Our Response to God in intercession and petition; God in judgement and justice; Kingdom of God; Nation and Society; Peace; Remembrance Sunday; Word of God Used With Tune: RUSSIA

Holy Ghost! dispel our sadness!
Author: Jacobi Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 195 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 8:14 Lyrics: 1 Holy Ghost! dispel our sadness!
Pierce the clouds of sinful night;
Come, thou source of sweetest gladness,
Breathe thy Life, and spread thy Light.

As a gracious shower descend,
Bringing down the richest treasure
Men can wish or God can send.

Of the earth and spreading skies;
Every sand the shore possesses,
Thy omniscient mind descries. Topics: The Holy Spirit; Dispeller of Darkness

Christ the Head and corner-stone,
chosen of the Lord, and precious,
binding all the church in one,
Holy Sion's help for ever,
and her confidence alone.
3 To this temple, where we call thee,
come, O Lord of Hosts, to-day;
with thy wonted loving-kindness
hear thy servants as they pray;
and thy fullest benediction
shed within its walls alway.
4 Here vouchsafe to all thy servants
what they ask of thee to gain,
what they gain from thee for ever
with the blessèd to retain,
and hereafter in thy glory
evermore with thee to reign.
