O God of earth and altar
Author: Gilbert Keith Chesterton, 1874-1936 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #344a (1958) Topics: Church Life and Work City, Nation, World 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! A-men.
3 Tie in a living tether
The prince and priest 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. Languages: English Tune Title: LLANGLOFFAN

Her sweet communion, solemn vows,
Her hymns of love and praise.

Thy hand from every snare and foe
Shall great deliverance bring.

To Sion shall be given
The brightest glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss of heaven.

Wilt give large increase,
Crown the head with blessings,
Fill the heart with peace. [Refrain]

Night is drawing nigh,
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.

Stars begin to peep,
Birds and beasts and flowers
Soon will be asleep.

Calm and sweet repose;
With thy tenderest blessing
May mine eyelids close. A-men.
4 Grant to little children
Visions bright of thee;
Guard the sailors tossing
On the deep blue sea.
5 Comfort every sufferer
Watching late in pain;
Those who plan some evil
From their sins restrain.
6 Through the long night-watches
May thine angels spread
Their white wings above me,
Watching round my bed.
7 When the morning wakens,
Then may I arise
Pure and fresh and sinless
In thy holy eyes.
8 Glory to the Father,
Glory to the Son,
And to thee, blest Spirit,
Whilst all ages run.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: MERRIAL
