Once to every man and nation

Author: Dr. James Russell Lowell, 1819-1891 Appears in 203 hymnals Topics: Decision Call to 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 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's own 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. 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.

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Carl Heinrich Bogatzky Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Ministry Calling and Work Lyrics: 1 Awake, Thou Spirit, who didst fire The watchmen of the Church’s youth, Who faced the foe’s envenomed ire, Who witnessed day and night Thy truth, Whose voices loud are ringing still, And bringing hosts to know Thy will. 2 Lord, let our earnest prayer be heard, The prayer Thy Son hath bid us pray, For lo, Thy children’s hearts are stirred, In every land in this our day, To cry with fervent soul to Thee, O help us, Lord! so let it be! 3 O haste to help, ere we are lost! Send preachers forth, in spirit strong, Armed with Thy Word, a dauntless host, Bold to attack the rule of wrong; Let them the earth for Thee reclaim, Thy heritage, to know Thy Name. Amen.
