For the Healing of the Nations

Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 58 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 2:3-5 First Line: For the healing of the nations Lyrics: 1 For the healing of the nations, Lord, we pray with one accord, for a just and equal sharing of the things that earth affords. To a life of love in action help us rise and pledge our word. 2 Lead us forward into freedom, from despair your world release, that, redeemed from war and hatred, all may come and go in peace. Show us how through care and goodness fear will die and hope increase. 3 All that kills abundant living, let it from the earth be banned: pride of status, race or schooling, dogmas that obscure your plan. In our common quest for justice may we hallow life's brief span. 4 You, Creator God, have written your great name on humankind; for our growing in your likeness bring the life of Christ to mind; that by our response and service earth its destiny may find.

Jehovah, Great I AM! by earth and heaven confessed, I bow, and bless the sacred name for ever blest. 2 The God of Abraham praise, at whose supreme command from earth I rise, and seek the joys at his right hand. I all on earth forsake, its wisdom, fame and power, and him my only portion make, my shield and tower. 3 He by himself has sworn, I on his oath depend: I shall, on eagle's wings upborne, to heaven ascend; I shall behold his face, I shall his power adore and sing the wonders of his grace for evermore. 4 There dwells the Lord our King, the Lord our Righteousness, triumphant o'er the world and sin, the Prince of Peace; on Zion's sacred height his kingdom he maintains, and glorious with his saints in light for ever reigns. 5 The whole triumphant host give thanks to God on high; 'Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!' they ever cry. Hail, Abraham's God, and mine!– I join the heavenly praise– all might and majesty are thine, through endless days.

Great Ruler of the earth and skies

Author: Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 93 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 2:4 Lyrics: 1 Great Ruler of the earth and skies, A word of thine almighty breath Can sink the world, or bid it rise: Thy smile is life, thy frown is death. 2 When angry nations rush to arms, And rage, and noise, and tumult reign, And war resounds its dire alarms, And slaughter dyes the hostile plain-- 3 Thy sov'reign eye looks calmly down, And marks their course, and bounds their power; Thy law the angry nations own, And noise and war are heard no more. 4 Then peace returns with balmy wing;-- Sweet peace, with her what blessings fled! Glad plenty laughs, the valleys sing, Reviving commerce lifts her head. 5 To thee we pay our grateful songs; Thy kind protection still implore: Oh, may our hearts, and lives, and tongues Confess thy goodness, and adore.

His whispers of peace I hear; His banner of love is o’er us, And angels are hov’ring near; I walk in the light with Jesus, He shines in the narrow way; The shadows of sin are vanished, I walk in the light of day. [Refrain] 3 How sweet is my walk with Jesus! I love all the way He trod; Embraced in His sweet communion, I’ll walk with the Son of God; I turn from the paths of pleasure, And closer to Jesus press; I’ll walk with my dear Redeemer, In His perfect holiness.

The Church’s One Foundation

Author: Samuel John Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 869 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 2:4 First Line: The church's one foundation Lyrics: 1 The church's one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord. She is his new creation by water and the word. From heaven he came and sought her to be his holy bride. With his own blood he bought her, and for her life he died. 2 Elect from every nation, yet one o'er all the earth, her charter of salvation: one Lord, one faith, one birth. One holy name she blesses, partakes one holy food, and to one hope she presses, with every grace endued. 3 Though with a scornful wonder this world sees her oppressed, by schisms rent asunder, by heresies distressed, yet saints their watch are keeping; their cry goes up: "How long?" And soon the night of weeping shall be the morn of song. 4 Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war, she waits the consummation of peace forevermore: till with the vision glorious her longing eyes are blest, and the great church victorious shall be the church at rest. 5 Yet she on earth has union with God, the Three in One, and mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won: O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we, like them, the meek and lowly, may live eternally. Topics: Atonement; The Church; Eternal Life; Hope; Reconciliation; Salvation; Unity Used With Tune: AURELIA
