When wilt Thou save the people?

Author: Ebenezer Elliott Meter: 7.6.7.6.8.8.8.5 Appears in 127 hymnals Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Discipleship and Service; Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 When wilt Thou save the people? O God of mercy, when? Not kings and lords, but nations! Not thrones and crowns, but men! Flowers of Thy heart, O God, are they; Let them not pass, like weeds, away, Their heritage a sunless day. God save the people! 2 Shall crime bring crime for ever, Strength aiding still the strong? Is it Thy will, O Father, That man shall toil for wrong? "No," say Thy mountains; "No," Thy skies; Man's clouded sun shall brightly rise, And songs ascend, instead of sighs; God save the people! When wilt Thou save the people? O God of mercy, when? The people, Lord, the people, Not thrones and crowns, but men! God save the people; Thine they are, Thy children, as Thine angels fair; From vice, oppression, and despair, God save the people! Amen.

Once to every man and nation

Author: James Russell Lowell Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 208 hymnals Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Discipleship and Service; Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 Once to every man and nation Comes the moment to decide, In the strife of truth with falsehood, For the good or evil side; Some great cause, God's new Messiah, Offering each the bloom or blight, And the choice goes by forever 'Twixt that darkness and that light. 2 By the light of burning martyrs, Jesus' bleeding feet I track, Toiling up new Calvaries ever With the cross that turns not back; New occasions teach new duties, Time makes ancient good uncouth; They must upward still and onward, Who would keep abreast of truth. 3 Though the cause of evil prosper, Yet 't is truth alone is strong; Though her portion be the scaffold, And upon the throne be wrong, Yet that scaffold sways the future, And, behind the dim unknown, Standeth God within the shadow Keeping watch above His own. Amen. Used With Tune: TON-Y-BOTEL
