Like brothers true, of one accord, We hold one faith and serve one Lord. A-men. 4 So by thy Spirit mold us, Lord; Inspire our hearts to pray; Our hungry souls feed with thy Word, Teach all of us to say: 'True brothers all, of one accord, We hold one faith, we serve one Lord.' 5 We fain would serve thy Church e'en now, With hearts from self set free, Striving to make thy kingdom grow, O God, so may it be, That, brothers true, with one accord, We hold the faith and serve the Lord!

Once to every man and nation

Author: James Russell Lowell, 1819 - 91 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #547 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory; The Life In Christ Service Lyrics: 1 Once to every man and nation Comes the moment to decide, In the strife of truth and 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 for ever 'Twixt that darkness and that light. 2 Then to side with truth is noble, When we share her wretched crust, Ere her cause bring fame and profit, And 'tis prosperous to be just; Then it is the brave man chooses, While the coward stands aside, Till the multitude make virtue Of the faith they had denied. 3 By the light of burning martyrs, Christ, thy bleeding feet we 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. 4 Though the cause of evil prosper, Yet 'tis 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.

A-men. 4 In our joys and in our sorrows, Days of toil and hours of ease, Still he calls, in cares and pleasures, 'Christian, love me more than these.' 5 Jesus calls us! By thy mercies, Saviour, may we hear thy call, Give our hearts to thine obedience, Serve and love thee best of all. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: GALILEE
