When wilt thou save the people?
Author: Ebenezer Elliott, 1781-1849 Hymnal: Hymns for the Living Age #376 (1923) Topics: The Reign of Righteousness Social Progress Languages: English Tune Title: COMMONWEALTH
When wilt thou save the people?
Once to every man and nation
Author: Dr. James Russell Lowell, 1819-1891 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #403 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service; Decision Call to ; National Righteousness; Righteousness National; Opportunity 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 for ever
'Twixt that darkness and that light.
2 Then to side with truth is noble,
When we share her wretched crust,
Ere her cause bring fame and profit,
And 'tis prosperous to be just;
Then it is the brave man chooses,
While the coward stands aside,
Till the multitude make virtue
Of the faith they had denied.
3 By the light of burning martyrs
Christ's own 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.
4 Though the cause of evil prosper,
Yet 'tis 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.

Praise Him who saved them from peril and sword,
Singing in chorus from ocean to ocean,

Speak to our fearful hearts, by conflict rent.
Save us, Thy people, from consuming passion,
Who by our own false hopes and aims are spent.

Bringing to hungry souls the bread of life,
Still let Thy Spirit unto us be given
To heal earth's wounds and end her bitter strife.

Showing to wandering souls the path of light;
Walk Thou beside us, lest the tempting byways
Lure us away from Thee to endless night.

From death and dark despair, from sin and guilt:
We render back the love Thy mercy gave us;
Take Thou our lives and use them as Thou wilt.

Who by this sign did conquer grief and pain,
We would be faithful to Thy gospel glorious:
Thou art our Lord! Thou dost forever reign!

Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!

That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam,
Undimmed by human tears!

And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

Author: William P. Merrill, 1867-1954 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #469 (1957) Topics: All Saints Day; Choir; Citizenship, Christian; National Righteousness; Righteousness; Social Betterment Lyrics: 1 Not alone for mighty empire,
Stretching far o'er land and sea;
Not alone for bounteous harvests,
Lift we up our hearts to Thee.
Standing in the living present,
Memory and hope between,
Lord, we would with deep thanksgiving
Praise Thee most for things unseen.
2 Not for battleship and fortress,
Not for conquests of the sword;
But for conquests of the spirit
Give we thanks to Thee, O Lord;
For the heritage of freedom,
For the home, the church, the school;
For the open door to manhood
In a land the people rule.
3 For the armies of the faithful,
Souls that passed and left no name;
For the glory that illumines
Patriot lives of deathless fame;
For our prophets and apostles,
Loyal to the living Word;
For all heroes of the Spirit,
Give we thanks to Thee, O Lord.
4 God of justice, save the people
From the clash of race and creed,
From the strife of class and faction:
Make our nation free indeed.
Keep her faith in simple manhoood
Strong as when her life began,
Till it find its full fruition
In the brotherhood of man.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: HYFRYDOL
