It is God who holds the nations in the hollow of his hand

Author: Frederick Pratt Green (1903-2000) Meter: 15.15.15.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Unity of Humanity Lyrics: 1 It is God who hold the nations in the hollow of his hand; it is God whose light is shining in the darkness of the land; it is God who builds the city on the Rock and not on sand: may the living God be praised! 2 It is God whose purpose summons us to use the present hour, who recalls us to our senses when a nation's life turns sour; in the discipline of freedom we shall know his saving power: may the living God be praised! 3 When a thankful nation, looking back, has cause to celebrate those who win our admiration by their service to the state, when self-giving is a measure of the greatness of the great, may the living God be praised! 4 God reminds us every sunrise that the world is ours on lease -- for the sake of life tomorrow may our love for it increase; may all peoples live together, share its riches, be at peace: may the living God be praised!
