From Greenland's icy mountains

From Greenland's icy mountains
O brother man, fold to thy heart thy brother
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 152 hymnals Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 O brother man, fold to thy heart thy brother;
Where pity dwells, the peace of God is there;
To worship rightly is to love each other,
Each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer.
2 For he whom Jesus loved has truly spoken:
The holier worship which He deigns to bless
Restores the lost, and binds the spirit broken,
And feeds the widow and the fatherless.
3 Follow with reverent steps the great example
Of Him whose holy work was doing good;
So shall the wide earth seem our Father's temple,
Each loving life a psalm of gratitude.
4 Then shall all shackles fall; the stormy clangor
Of wild war music o'er the earth shall cease;
Love shall tread out the baleful fire of anger,
And in its ashes plant the tree of peace.
Amen. Used With Tune: WELWYN
O brother man, fold to thy heart thy brother
The Lord will come and not be slow
Author: John Milton, 1608-74 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 101 hymnals Topics: The Church The Kingdom of God Lyrics: 1 THE Lord will come and not be slow,
His footsteps cannot err;
Before him righteousness shall go,
His royal harbinger.
2 Truth from the earth, like to a flower,
Shall bud and blossom then;
And justice from her heavenly bower,
Look down on mortal men.
3 Rise, God, judge thou the earth in might,
This wicked earth redress;
For thou art he who shalt by right
The nations all possess.
4 The nations all whom thou hast made
Shall come, and all shall frame
To bow them low before thee, Lord,
And glorify thy name.
5 For great thou art, and wonders great
By thy strong hand are done:
Thou in thy everlasting seat
Remainest God alone. Scripture: Psalm 82 Used With Tune: ST STEPHEN Text Sources: Cento Psalms, 85, 82, 86

Where cross the crowded ways of life
Author: Dr. F. Mason North, 1850- Appears in 377 hymnals Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
Where sound the cries of race and clan,
Above the noise of selfish strife,
We hear Thy voice, O Son of man!
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
On shadowed thresholds dark with fears,
From paths where hide the lures of grace,
We catch the vision of Thy tears.
3 From tender childhood's helplessness,
From woman's grief, man's burdened toil,
From famished souls, from sorrow's stress,
Thy heart has never known recoil.
4 The cup of water given for Thee
Still holds the freshness of Thy grace;
Yet long these multitudes to see
The sweet compassion of Thy face.
5 O Master, from the mountain side,
Make haste to heal these hearts of pain,
Among these restless throngs abide,
O tread the city's streets again.
6 Till sons of men shall learn Thy love,
And follow where Thy feet have trod;
Till glorious from Thy heaven above
Shall come the city of our God. Used With Tune: MELROSE

With fervent prayer;
The wayward and the lost,
By restless passions tossed,
Redeemed at countless cost
From dark despair.

The world to Christ we bring
With one accord;
With us the work to share,
With us reproach to dare,
With us the cross to bear,
For Christ our Lord.

The world to Christ we bring
With joyful song;
The newborn souls whose days,
Reclaimed from error's ways,
Inspired with hope and praise,
To Christ belong.

What a Friend we have in Jesus
Author: J. Scriven, 1820-1886 Appears in 1,755 hymnals Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Evangelism Lyrics: 1 What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!
2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
3 Are we weak and heaven-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despite, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He'll take and shield Thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there. Used With Tune: FRIENDSHIP

Now to heaven our cry ascending
Author: W. E. Hickson, 1803-1870 Appears in 156 hymnals Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service Lyrics: 1 Now to heaven our cry ascending,
God speed the right!
In a noble cause contending,
God speed the right!
May we live our lives before Thee,
Like the good and great in story,
If we fail we fail with glory,
God speed the right!
2 Patient, firm, and persevering,
God speed the right!
No event or danger fearing,
God speed the right!
Pains, nor toils, nor trials heeding,
Never from the truth receding,
And in heaven's own time succeeding,
God speed the right!
3 Still our onward course pursuing,
God speed the right!
Every foe at length subduing,
God speed the right!
Truth! thy cause, whate'er delay it,
There's no power on earth can stay it,
Proudly let us then obey it,
God speed the right! Used With Tune: TEMPLE
Now to heaven our cry ascending
Once to every man and nation
Author: James Russell Lowell Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 206 hymnals Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Discipleship and Service 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 forever
'Twixt that darkness and that light.
2 By the light of burning martyrs,
Jesus' 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.
3 Though the cause of evil prosper,
Yet 't is 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.
Amen. Used With Tune: TON-Y-BOTEL
Once to every man and nation
