Is this a fast for me?
Author: Drummond Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Fast-Day Lyrics: 1 Is this a fast for me?
Thus saith the Lord our God:
A day for man to vex his soul
And feel affliction's rod?
2 No; is not this alone
The sacred fast I choose--
Oppression's yoke to burst in twain,
The bands of guilt unloose?
3 To nakedness and want
Your food and raiment deal,
To dwell your kindred race among,
And all their sufferings heal?
4 Then like the morning ray,
Shall spring your health and light;
Before you, righteousness shall shine,
Behind, my glory bright!
Is this a fast for me?
Let there be light, Lord God of Hosts

Let there be light, Lord God of Hosts
On a day of prayer for success in war
Author: Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Times and Seasons Days of Humiliation; Fast day hymns; National prayer and praise First Line: Lord, how shall wretched sinners dare Lyrics: 1 Lord, how shall wretched sinners dare
Look up to thy divine above?
Or offer their imperfect prayer
Before a just, a holy God?
2 Bright terrors guard thy awful seat,
And dazzling glories veil thy face;
Yet mercy calls us to thy feet,
Thy throne is still a throne of grace.
3 O may our souls thy grace adore
May Jesus plead our humble claim;
While thy protection we implore,
In his prevailing, glorious name.
4 With all the boasted pomp of war
In vain we dare the hostile field:
In vain, unless the Lord be there;
Thy arm alone is Britain's shield.
5 Let past experience of thy care
Support our hope, our trust invite!
Again attend our humble prayer!
Again be mercy thy delight!
6 Our arms succeed, our councils guide,
Let thy right hand our cause maintain;
'Till war's destructive rage subside,
And peace resume her gentle reign.
7 O when shall time the period bring,
When raging war shall waste no more;
When peace shall stretch her balmy wing
From Europe's coast, to India's shore.
8 When shall the gospel's healing ray
(Kind source of amity divine!)
Spread o'er the world celestial day?
When shall the nations, Lord, be thine?
On a day of prayer for success in war
Lord, on this sadly-solemn day
Author: S. W. Widney Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Fast-Day Lyrics: 1 Lord, on this sadly-solemn day,
We bow our souls--we fast and pray;
Before our eyes our sins appear,
And give us sorrow, shame, and fear.
2 Our private sins of heart and thought,
Our words and deeds with errors fraught,
Obnoxious to thy holiness,
We mourn before thee, and confess.
3 The demon with the poisonous bowl
That kills the body--damns the soul--
O'er bleeding bosoms stalks along,
With maniac laugh and drunken song.
4 In vain they fast, they pray in vain,
Who lift the hands that forget the chain
To bind the body or the soul
A slave to man or to the bowl.
5 Forgive us, Lord; regard us now,
While here we pledge our solemn vow,
To shun the vile oppressor's ways,
And labor fallen man to raise.
Lord, on this sadly-solemn day
Now praise we great and famous men
