He chastens and hastens His will to make known;
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing;
Sing praises to His Name; He forgets not His own.
2 Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine;
So from the beginning the fight we were winning;
Thou, Lord, wast at our side, all glory be Thine!
3 We all do extol Thee, Thou Leader triumphant,
And pray that Thou still our Defender wilt be;
Let Thy congregation escape tribulation;
Thy Name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!
Amen.

Author: F. S. Key Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #520 (1913) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Topics: Various Occasions Day of Common Prayer; Various Occassions National Lyrics: 1 Before the Lord we bow,
The God who reigns above,
And rules the world below,
Boundless in power and love.
Our thanks we bring
In joy and praise,
Our hearts we raise
To heaven's high King.
2 The nation Thou hast blest
May well Thy love declare,
From foes and fears at rest,
Protected by Thy care.
For this fair land,
For this bright day,
Our thanks we pay--
Gifts of Thy hand.
3 May every mountain height,
Each vale and forest green,
Shine in Thy word's pure light,
And its rich fruits be seen!
May every tongue
Be tuned to praise,
And join to raise
A grateful song.
4 Earth! hear thy Maker's voice,
The great Redeemer own,
Believe, obey, rejoice,
And worship Him alone;
Cast down thy pride,
Thy sin deplore,
And bow before
The Crucified.
5 And when in power He comes,
O may our native land,
From all its rending tombs,
Send forth a glorious band,
A countless throng
Ever to sing
To heaven's high King
Salvation's song. Tune Title: [Before the Lord we bow]

O God, Beneath Thy Guiding Hand
Author: Leonard Bacon, 1802-1881 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #521 (1957) Topics: Citizenship, Christian; Memorial Day; National Righteousness; Righteousness; Social Betterment; Special Subjects and Occasions Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 O God, beneath Thy guiding hand
Our exiled fathers crossed the sea;
And when they trod the wintry strand,
With prayer and psalm they worshiped Thee.
2 Thou heard'st, well pleased, the song, the prayer;
Thy blessing came; and still its pow'r
Shall onward thro' all ages bear
The memory of that holy hour.
3 Laws, freedom, truth, and faith in God
Came with those exiles o'er the waves;
And where their pilgrim feet have trod,
The God they trusted guards their graves.
4 And here Thy Name, O God of love,
Their children's children shall adore,
Till these eternal hills remove,
And spring adorns the earth no more.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: DUKE STREET

Weep for the Dead
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Voices United #526 (1996) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: The Church at Worship Special Days, Seasons, Occasions: Remembrance; Nation; Remembrance Day First Line: Weep for the dead. Let tears and silence tell Lyrics: 1 Weep for the dead. Let tears and silence tell
f blood and battle, horror and renown.
The years diminish, but do not dispel
the pain of lives destroyed, and life laid down.
2 Silent the dead. Remembering, we stand
silent as they, for words cannot esteem
causes of war, the love of native land,
all that they were, and all they might have been.
3 Raising our flag, we stand with muffled drum,
judged by the colours of God's love and loss,
recalling, as we pray, "Your Kingdom come,"
a purple robe, and blood upon a cross.
4 Summoned by love that leaves no room for pride,
we pray that every continent and isle,
wounded by war, war's hate may lay aside,
and find a way to heal and reconcile.
5 Weep for the dead, from all the ills of earth.
Stand by the cross that bids all hatred cease.
March to the drums of dignity and worth.
Salute the King of Love, the Prince of Peace. Tune Title: HARRIS
Weep for the Dead

how hate and war diminish humankind,
we pause, and seek in worship to increase
our knowledge of the things that make for peace.
2 Hallow our will as humbly we recall
the lives of those who gave and give their all.
We thank you, Lord, for women, children, men
who seek to serve in love, today as then.
3 Give us deep faith to comfort those who mourn,
high hope to share with all the newly born,
strong love in our pursuit of human worth:
"lest we forget" the future of this earth.
4 So, Prince of Peace, disarm our trust in power,
teach us to coax the plant of peace to flower.
May we, impassioned by your living Word,
remember forward to a world restored. Tune Title: ST AGNES (LANGRAN)
