God the Omnipotent! King, who ordainest
Author: Henry Fothergill Chorley, 1808-1872 ; John Ellerton, 1926-1893 Meter: 11.10.11.9 Appears in 203 hymnals Topics: Christian Responsibility Lyrics: 1 God the Omnipotent! King, who ordainest
thunder thy clarion, the lightning thy sword;
show forth thy pity on high where thou reignest:
give to us peace in our time, O Lord.
2 God the All-merciful! Earth hath forsaken
thy ways all holy, and slighted thy word;
bid not thy wrath in its terrors awaken:
give to us peace in our time, O Lord.
3 God, the All-righteous One! Earth hath defied thee;
yet to eternity standeth thy word,
falsehood and wrong shall not tarry beside thee:
give to us peace in our time, O Lord.
4 God the All-provident! earth by thy chastening
yet shall to freedom and truth be restored;
through the thick darkness thy kingdom is hastening:
thou wilt give peace in our time, O Lord. Used With Tune: RUSSIA
God the Omnipotent! King, who ordainest
Teach me, my God and King
Author: George Herbert, 1593-1633 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 263 hymnals Topics: Christian Responsibility Lyrics: 1 Teach me, my God and King,
in all things thee to see,
and what I do in anything,
to do it as for thee.
2 All may of thee partake;
nothing can be so mean,
which with this tincture, "for thy sake,"
will not grow bright and clean.
3 A servant with this clause
makes drudgery divine:
who sweeps a room, as for thy laws,
makes that and the action fine.
4 This is the famous stone
that turneth all to gold;
for that which God doth touch and own
cannot for less be told.

You servants of the Lord
Before thy throne, O God, we kneel
Author: William Boyd Carpenter, 1841-1918 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Christian Responsibility Lyrics: 1 Before thy throne, O God, we kneel:
give us a conscience quick to feel,
a ready mind to understand
the meaning of thy chastening hand;
whate'er the pain and shame may be,
bring us, O Father, nearer thee.
2 Search out our hearts and make us true;
help us to give to all their due.
From love of pleasure, lust of gold,
from sins which make the heart grow cold,
wean us and train us with thy rod;
teach us to know our faults, O God.
3 For sins of heedless word and deed,
for pride ambitious to succeed,
for crafty trade and subtle snare
to catch the simple unaware,
for lives bereft of purpose high,
forgive, forgive, O Lord, we cry.
4 Let the fierce fires which burn and try,
our inmost spirits purify:
consume the ill; purge out the shame;
O God, be with us in the flame;
a newborn people may we rise,
more pure, more true, more nobly wise. Used With Tune: VATER UNSER IN HIMMELREICH
Before thy throne, O God, we kneel

O God of every nation
Author: William Watkins Reid, Jr., b. 1923 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Christian Responsibility 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,
your still small 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.

Great God, Your Love Has Called Us Here
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Christ's Example; Christian vocation; Christian year--Holy Week; Christ's Example; Confession of Sin; God--Love of; Invitation and Response; Ministry; Suffering Lyrics: 1 Great God, your love has called us here
as we, by love, for love were made.
Your living likeness still we bear,
though marred, dishonored, disobeyed.
We come, with all our heart and mind
your call to hear, your love to find.
2 We come with self-inflicted pains
of broken trust and chosen wrong,
half-free, half-bound by inner chains,
by social forces swept along,
by pow'rs and systems close confined
yet seeking hope for human-kind.
3 Great God, in Christ you call our name
and then receive us as your own
not through some merit, right, or claim
but by your gracious love alone.
We strain to glimpse your mercy seat
and find you kneeling at our feet.
4 Then take the towel, and break the bread,
and humble us, and call us friends.
Suffer and serve till all are fed,
and show how grandly love intends
to work till all creation sings,
to fill all worlds, to crown all things.
5 Great God, in Christ you set us free
your life to live, your joy to share.
Give us your Spirit's liberty
to turn from guilt and dull despair
and offer all that faith can do
while love is making all things new. Scripture: John 13:1-20 Used With Tune: ABINGDON
Great God, Your Love Has Called Us Here
