O God of earth and altar
Author: Gilbert K. Chesterton Hymnal: The Hymnal #419 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth The Nation Lyrics: 1 O God of earth and altar,
Bow down and hear our cry;
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die;
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide;
Take not Thy thunder from us,
But take away our pride.
2 From all that terror teaches,
From lies of tongue and pen;
From all the easy speeches
That comfort cruel men;
From sale and profanation
Of honor and the sword;
From sleep and from damnation,
Deliver us, good Lord!
3 Tie in a living tether
The priest and prince and thrall;
Bind all our lives together,
Smite us and save us all;
In ire and exultation
Aflame with faith, and free,
Lift up a living nation,
A single sword to Thee.
Amen. Tune Title: LLANGLOFFAN
O God of earth and altar
O day of God, draw nigh
Author: R. B. Y. Scott Hymnal: The Hymnal #497 (1956) Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth The Nation, Peace Scripture: 2 Peter 1:19 Tune Title: FESTAL SONG
O day of God, draw nigh
O brothers, lift your voices
Author: Bishop Edward H. Bickersteth Hymnal: The Hymnal #372 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 O brothers, lift your voices,
Triumphant songs to raise;
Till heaven on high rejoices,
And earth is filled with praise:
Ten thousand hearts are bounding
With holy hopes and free;
The gospel trump is sounding,
The trump of Jubilee.
2 O Christian brothers, glorious
Shall be the conflict's close;
The cross hath been victorious,
And shall be o'er its foes:
Faith is our battle token;
Our Leader all controls;
Our trophies, fetters broken;
Our captives, ransomed souls.
3 Not unto us, Lord Jesus:
To Thee all praise be due,
Whose blood-bought mercy frees us,
Has freed our brethren too.
Not unto us: in glory
The angels catch the strain,
And cast their crowns before Thee
Exultingly again.
4 Great God of our salvation,
Thy presence we adore;
Praise, glory, adoration
Be Thine forevermore;
Still on in conflict pressing
On Thee Thy people call,
Thee King of kings confessing,
Thee crowning Lord of all.
Amen. Tune Title: LANCASHIRE
O brothers, lift your voices
When wilt Thou save the people?
Author: Ebenezer Elliott Hymnal: The Hymnal #375 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6.8.8.8.5 Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 When wilt Thou save the people?
O God of mercy, when?
Not kings and lords, but nations!
Not thrones and crowns, but men!
Flowers of Thy heart, O God, are they;
Let them not pass, like weeds, away,
Their heritage a sunless day.
God save the people!
2 Shall crime bring crime for ever,
Strength aiding still the strong?
Is it Thy will, O Father,
That man shall toil for wrong?
"No," say Thy mountains; "No," Thy skies;
Man's clouded sun shall brightly rise,
And songs ascend, instead of sighs;
God save the people!
When wilt Thou save the people?
O God of mercy, when?
The people, Lord, the people,
Not thrones and crowns, but men!
God save the people; Thine they are,
Thy children, as Thine angels fair;
From vice, oppression, and despair,
God save the people!
Amen. Tune Title: COMMONWEALTH
When wilt Thou save the people?
Let there be light, Lord God of Hosts
Author: William M. Vories Hymnal: The Hymnal #402 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 Let there be light, Lord God of Hosts
Let there be wisdom on the earth!
Let broad humanity have birth!
Let there be deeds, instead of boasts!
2 Within our passioned hearts instill
The calm that endeth strain and strife;
Make us Thy ministers of life;
Purge us from lusts that curse and kill!
3 Give us the peace of vision clear
To see our brothers' good our own,
To joy and suffer not alone—
The love that casteth out all fear!
4 Let woe and waste of warfare cease,
That useful labor yet may build
Its homes with love and laughter filled!
God, give Thy wayward children peace!
Amen. Tune Title: PENTECOST
Let there be light, Lord God of Hosts
O brother man, fold to thy heart thy brother
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) Hymnal: The Hymnal #403 (1950) Meter: 11.10.11.10 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. Tune Title: WELWYN
O brother man, fold to thy heart thy brother
Come, labor on
Author: Jane Laurie Borthwick Hymnal: The Hymnal #366 (1950) Meter: 4.10.10.10.4 Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 Come, labor on.
Who dares stand idle on the harvest plain
While all around him waves the golden grain?
And to each servant does the Master say,
"Go work today."
2 Come, labor on.
Claim the high calling angels cannot share—
To young and old the gospel gladness bear;
Redeem the time; its hours too swiftly fly.
The night draws nigh.
3 Come, labor on.
Away with gloomy doubts and faithless fear!
No arm so weak but may do service here:
By feeblest agents may our God fulfill
His righteous will.
4 Come, labor on.
No time for rest, till glows the western sky,
Till the long shadows o'er our pathway lie,
And a glad sound comes with the setting sun,
"Well done, well done!"
Amen. Tune Title: ORA LABORA
Come, labor on
We are living, we are dwelling
Author: Bishop Arthur Cleveland Coxe Hymnal: The Hymnal #374 (1950) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 We are living, we are dwelling
In a grand and awful time,
In an age on ages telling;
To be living is sublime.
Hark! the waking up of nations,
Hosts advancing to the fray;
Hark! what soundeth is creation's
Groaning for the latter day.
2 Will ye play, then? will ye dally
Far behind the battle line?
Up! it is Jehovah's rally;
God's own arm hath need of thine.
Worlds are charging, heaven beholding;
Thou hast but an hour to fight;
Now, the blazoned cross unfolding,
On, right onward for the right!
3 Sworn to yield, to waver, never;
Consecrated, born again;
Sworn to be Christ's soldiers ever,
O for Christ at least be men!
O let all the soul within you
For the truth's sake go abroad!
Strike! let every nerve and sinew
Tell on ages, tell for God.
Amen. Tune Title: BLAENHAFREN
We are living, we are dwelling
Publish glad tidings, tidings of peace
Author: Mary Ann Thomson Hymnal: The Hymnal #382 (1950) Meter: 11.10.11.10.9.11 Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Missions First Line: O Zion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling Lyrics: 1 O Zion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling,
To tell to all the world that God is Light,
That He who made all nations is not willing
One soul should perish, lost in shades of night.
Refrain:
Publish glad tidings, tidings of peace,
Tidings of Jesus, redemption and release.
2 Behold how many thousands still are lying
Bound in the darksome prison house of sin,
With none to tell them of the Saviour's dying,
Or of the life He died for them to win. [Refrain]
3 Proclaim to every people, tongue, and nation
That God, in whom they live and move, is Love:
Tell how He stooped to save His lost creation,
And died on earth that man might live above. [Refrain]
4 He comes again: O Zion, ere thou meet Him,
Make known to every heart His saving grace;
Let none whom He hath ransomed fail to greet Him,
Through thy neglect, unfit to see His face. [Refrain]
Amen. Tune Title: ANGELIC SONGS
Publish glad tidings, tidings of peace
Thou, whose almighty word
Author: Rev. John Marriott Hymnal: The Hymnal #392 (1950) Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Missions Lyrics: 1 God, whose almighty word
Chaos and darkness heard,
And took their flight,
Hear us, we humbly pray;
And where the gospel's day
Sheds not its glorious ray,
Let there be light!
2 Thou, who didst come to bring
On Thy redeeming wing
Healing and sight,
Health to the sick in mind,
Sight to the inly blind,
O now to all mankind
Let there be light!
3 Spirit of truth and love,
Life-giving, holy Dove,
Speed forth Thy flight;
Move o'er the water's face,
Bearing the lamp of grace,
And in earth's darkest place
Let there be light!
4 Holy and blessed Three,
Glorious Trinity,
Wisdom, Love, Might!
Boundless as ocean's tide
Rolling in fullest pride,
Through the world far and wide
Let there be light!
Amen. Tune Title: FIAT LUX
Thou, whose almighty word
