O my Father, I would know thee
Author: Harriet Oagood Munger Hymnal: The Hymnal #395 (1950) Meter: 8.5.8.3 Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Stewardship Lyrics: 1 O my Father, I would know Thee
And Thy holy will;
From Thy fount my thirsty spirit
Daily fill.
2 I would turn my highest powers
Into service sweet;
For all ministry to others
Make me meet.
3 As the bird who scorns earth's sadness,
Mounting on the wing,
Would my soul, her fret o'ercoming,
Rise and sing.
4 Sharing thus the Master's spirit,
Following where He trod,
I would rise through joyous service
Unto God.
Amen. Tune Title: ST. HELEN'S
O my Father, I would know thee
O beautiful for spacious skies
Author: Katherine Lee Bates Hymnal: The Hymnal #411 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth The Nation Lyrics: 1 O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
2 O beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
3 O beautiful for glorious tale
Of liberating strife,
When valiantly for man's avail
Men lavished precious life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!
4 O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees, beyond the years,
Thine alabaster cities gleam,
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
Amen. Tune Title: MATERNA

God bless our native land

Firm may she ever stand
Through storm and night:
When the wild tempests rave,
Ruler of wind and wave,
Do Thou our country save
By Thy great might.
2 For her our prayer shall rise
To God above the skies;
On Him we wait;
Thou who art ever nigh,
Guarding with watchful eye,
To Thee aloud we cry,
God save the State!
3 Not for this land alone,
But be God's mercies shown
From shore to shore;
And may the nations see
That men should brothers be,
And form one family
The wide world o'er.
Amen. Tune Title: DORT

Than e'er the world hath known, shall rise
With flame of freedom in their souls

To spill no drop of blood, but dare
All that may plant man's lordship firm
On earth, and fire, and sea, and air.

Unarmed shall live as comrades free;
In every heart and brain shall throb
The pulse of one fraternity.

And mightier music thrill the skies,
And every life shall be a song,
When all the earth is paradise.

Once to every man and nation
Author: James Russell Lowell Hymnal: The Hymnal #373 (1950) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D 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. Tune Title: TON-Y-BOTEL
Once to every man and nation
Lift up our hearts, O King of kings
Author: Rev. John Howard Masterman Hymnal: The Hymnal #405 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 Lift up our hearts, O King of kings,
To brighter hopes and kindlier things;
To visions of a larger good,
And holier dreams of brotherhood.
2 Thy world is weary of its pain,
Of selfish greed and fruitless gain,
Of tarnished honor, falsely strong,
And all its ancient deeds of wrong.
3 Almighty Father, who dost give
The gift of life to all who live,
Look down on all earth's sin and strife,
And lift us to a holier life.
Amen. Tune Title: TRURO
Lift up our hearts, O King of kings
O Holy City, seen of John
Author: Rev. W. Russell Bowie Hymnal: The Hymnal #409 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth The City Lyrics: 1 O Holy City, seen of John,
Where Christ, the Lamb, doth reign,
Within whose four-square walls shall come
No night, nor need, nor pain,
And where the tears are wiped from eyes
That shall not weep again!
2 O shame to us who rest content
While lust and greed for gain
In street and shop and tenement
Wring gold from human pain,
And bitter lips in blind despair
Cry, "Christ hath died in vain"!
3 Give us, O God, the strength to build
The City that hath stood
Too long a dream, whose laws are love,
Whose ways are brotherhood,
And where the sun that shineth is
God's grace for human good.
4 Already in the mind of God
That City riseth fair.
Lo, how its splendor challenges
The souls that greatly dare,
Yea, bids us seize the whole of life
And build its glory there!
Amen. Tune Title: MORWELLHAM
O Holy City, seen of John
