God is working his purpose out as year succeeds to year
Author: A. C. Ainger, 1841-1919 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #495 (1986) Meter: Irregular Topics: Church and People The Kingdom of God; The Christian Year Advent Lyrics: 1 God is working his purpose out as year succeeds to year,
God is working his purpose out and the time is drawing near;
Nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be,
When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.
2 From utmost east to utmost west where'er man's foot hath trod,
By the mouth of many messengers goes forth the voice of God,
'Give ear to me, ye continents, ye isles, give ear to me,
That the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.'
3 What can we do to work God's work, to prosper and increase
The brotherhood of all mankind, the reign of the Prince of Peace?
What can we do to hasten the time, the time that shall surely be,
When the earth shall be filled with the lory of God as the waters cover the sea?
4 March we forth in the strength of God with the banner of Christ unfurled,
That the light of the glorious gospel of truth may shine throughout the world;
Fight we the fight with sorrow and sin, to set their captives free,
That the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.
5 All we can do is nothing worth unless God blesses the deed;
Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide till God gives life to the seed;
Yet nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be,
When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. Languages: English Tune Title: BENSON

Spread forth thy quickening wing,
And o'er a dark and ruined world

Son of God, eternal Saviour
Author: Somerset Lowry, 1855-1932 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #498 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Church and People The Kingdom of God; The Christian Year Advent Lyrics: 1 Son of God, eternal Saviour,
Source of life and truth and grace,
Son of Man, whose birth among us
Hallows all our human race,
Thou, our Head, who, throned in glory,
For thine own dost ever plead,
Fill us with thy love and pity,
Heal our wrongs, and help our need.
2 As thou, Lord, hast lived for others,
So may we for others live;
Freely have thy gifts been granted,
Freely may thy servants give.
Thine the gold and thine the silver,
Thine the wealth of land and sea,
We but stewards of thy bounty,
Held in solemn trust for thee.
3 Come, O Christ, and reign among us,
King of love, and Prince of peace,
Hush the storm of strife and passion,
Bid its cruel discords cease;
By thy patient years of toiling,
By thy silent hours of pain,
Quench our fevered thirst of pleasure,
shame our selfish greed of gain.
4 *Dark the path that lies behind us,
Strewn with wrecks and stained with blood;
But before us gleams the vision
Of the coming brotherhood.
See the Christlike host advancing,
High and lowly, great and small,
Linked in bonds of common service
For the common Lord of all.
5 Son of God, eternal Saviour,
Source of life and truth and grace,
Son of Man, whose birth among us
Hallows all our human race.
Thou who prayedst, thou who willest
That thy people should be one,
Grant, O grant our hope's fruition:
Here on earth thy will be done. Languages: English Tune Title: EVERTON

Thy kingdom come! on bended knee
Author: Frederick Hosmer, 1840-1929 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #500 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Church and People The Kingdom of God; The Christian Year Advent Lyrics: 1 Thy kingdom come on bended knee
The passing ages pray;
And faithful souls have yearned to see
On earth that kingdom's day.
2 But the slow watches of the night
Not less to God belong;
And for the everlasting right
The silent stars are strong.
3 And lo, already on the hills
The flags of dawn appear;
Gird up your loins, ye prophet souls,
Proclaim the day is near:
4 The day in whose clear-shining light
All wrong shall stand revealed,
When justice shall be throned in might,
And every hurt be healed;
5 When knowledge, hand in hand with peace,
Shall walk the earth abroad:
The day of perfect righteousness,
The promised day of God.

Shall meet thee in the skies. Scripture: Psalm 133:1

Woe to the Prophets
Author: Charles P. Jones, 1865-1949 Hymnal: One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism #565 (2018) Meter: 5.8.11.8.11.8 with refrain Topics: The Gospel in the Christian Life Mission, Kingdom, Social Concern Refrain First Line: Woe, woe, woe! Lyrics: 1 Woe to the prophets,
Who God's blood-bought people deceive,
Who teach them to trust in their idols of dust,
And falsehood, not truth, to believe;
Who preach but for pay, and who lead men astray,
And daily God's Spirit do grieve.
Refrain:
Woe, woe, woe!
How fast to the judgment they go!
No God and no hope,
In darkness they grope,
By passion and greed, by habit and need
Bound hard unto sin,
No Savior within,
To judgment, to judgment they go.
2 Woe to the prophets,
Who for their false doctrines do fight,
Who eat, drink and play, (but they seldom do pray,)
Who trust in their numbers and might;
Who join hand in hand to enslave the whole land
The self-loving foes to the right. [Refrain]
3 Woe to the prophets,
False teachers who call evil good,
Who darkness call light and who call the wrong right,
To get filthy lucre and food.
Their judgment is come: oh, how awful their doom,
The doom of the truth-hating brood! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: WOE TO THE PROPHETS
Woe to the Prophets
