Bickersteth Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 69 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O brothers, lift your voices, Triumphant songs to raise; Till heaven on high rejoices, And earth is filled with praise: Ten thousand hearts are bounding With holy hopes and free; The gospel trump is sounding, The trump of jubilee. 2 O Christian brothers, glorious Shall be the conflict's close; The cross hath been victorious, And shall be o'er its foes: Faith is our battle token; Our Leader all controls; Our trophies, fetters broken; Our captives, ransomed souls. 3 Not unto us, Lord Jesus: To Thee all praise be due, Whose blood-bought mercy frees us, Has freed our brethren too. Not unto us: in glory The angels catch the strain, And cast their crowns before Thee Exultingly again. 4 Great God of our salvation, Thy presence we adore; Praise, glory, adoration Be Thine forevermore; Still on in conflict pressing On Thee Thy people call, Thee King of Kings confessing, Thee crowning Lord of all. Amen.

I Want a Principle Within

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 228 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I want a principle within Of watchful, godly fear, A sensibility of sin, A pain to feel it near. Help me the first approach to feel Of pride or wrong desire; To catch the wandering of my will, And quench the kindling fire. 2 From Thee that I no more may stray, No more Thy goodness grieve, Grant me the filial awe, I pray, The tender conscience give. Quick as the apple of an eye, O God, my conscience make! Awake my soul when sin is nigh, And keep it still awake. 3 Almighty God of truth and love, To me Thy pow'r impart; The burden from my soul remove, The hardness from my heart. O may the least omission pain My reawakened soul, And drive me to that blood again, Which makes the wounded whole. Amen.

And still today you grant us, Who gather round you here, In arms of faith to bear you, As did that aged seer. 3 Let us, O Lord, be faithful Like Simeon to the end, So that his prayer exultant May from our hearts ascend: "O Lord, now let your servant Depart in peace, I pray, Since I have seen my Savior, Have here beheld his day."

O Young and Fearless Prophet

Author: S. Ralph Harlow Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 38 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O young and fearless Prophet of ancient Galilee, your life is still a summons to serve humanity; to make our thoughts and actions less prone to please the crowd, to stand with humble courage for truth with hearts uncowed. 2 We marvel at the purpose that held you to your course while ever on the hilltop before you loomed the cross; your steadfast face set forward where love and duty shone, while we betray so quickly and leave you there alone. 3 O help us stand unswerving against war's bloody way, where hate and lust and falsehood hold back Christ's holy sway; forbid false love of country that keeps us from your call, you lift above the nations the unity of all. 4 Stir up in us a protest against our greed for wealth, while others starve and hunger and plead for work and health; where homes with little children cry out for lack of bread, who live their years sore burdened beneath a gloomy dread. 5 O young and fearless Prophet, we need your presence here, amid our pride and glory to see your face appear; once more to hear your challenge above our noisy day, again to lead us forward along God's holy way.

O God of Every Nation

Author: William W. Reid, Jr. Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God of every nation, of every race and land, redeem the whole creation with your almighty hand; where hate and fear divide us and bitter threats are hurled, in love and mercy guide us, and heal our strife-torn world. 2 From search for wealth and power and scorn of truth and right, from trust in bombs that shower destruction through the night, from pride of race and nation and blindness to your way, deliver every nation, eternal God, we pray! 3 Lord, strengthen all who labor that we may find release from fear of rattling saber, from dread of war's increase. When hope and courage falter, Lord, let your voice be heard; with faith that none can alter, your servants undergird. 4 Keep bright in us the vision of days when war shall cease, when hatred and division give way to love and peace, till dawns the morning glorious when truth and justice reign, and Christ shall rule victorious o'er all the world's domain.
