O God, our help in ages past
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 1,259 hymnals Topics: Church Life and Work City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home:
2 Under the shadow of thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is thine arm alone,
And our defence is sure. A-men.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting thou art God,
To endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in thy sight
Are like an evening gone,
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
6 O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be thou our guide while troubles last,
And our eternal home!
Amen.
Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE

Eternal Father, Strong to Save
Author: William Whiting Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 433 hymnals Topics: Nation Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father, strong to save,
whose arm doth bind the restless wave,
who bids the mighty ocean deep
its own appointed limits keep;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
for those in peril on the sea.
2 O Savior, whose almighty word
the winds and waves submissive heard,
who walked upon the foaming deep,
and calm amid its rage did sleep;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
for those in peril on the sea.
3 O Holy Spirit, who did brood
upon the waters dark and rude,
and bid their angry tumult cease,
and give for wild confusion peace;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
for those in peril on the sea.
4 O Trinity of love and power,
Your children shield in danger's hour;
from rock and tempest, fire, and foe,
protect them wheresoe'er they go;
thus, evermore shall rise to Thee
glad hymns of praise from land and sea. Scripture: Mark 4:35-41 Used With Tune: MELITA

Behold, the King of glory waits;
The King of kings is drawing near,
The Saviour of the world is here.
Life and salvation he doth bring,
Wherefore rejoice and gladly sing:
We praise thee, Father, now,
Creator, wise art thou!
2 A Helper just he comes to thee,
His chariot is humility,
His kingly crown is holiness,
His scepter, pity in distress.
The end of all our woe he brings;
Wherefore the earth is glad and sings:
We praise thee, Saviour, now,
Mighty in deed art thou!
3 O blest the land, the city blest,
Where Christ the Ruler is confessed!
O happy hearts and happy homes
To whom this King in triumph comes!
The cloudless sun of joy he is,
Who bringeth pure delight and bliss.
We praise thee, Spirit, now,
Our Comforter art thou!

Author: William Pierson Merrill Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 87 hymnals Topics: Nation, The; Kingdom of God on Earth, The Nation, The 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 priceless gift 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 manhood
Strong as when her life began,
Till it find its full fruition
In the brotherhood of man.
Amen. Scripture: Deuteronomy 7:12-13 Used With Tune: GENEVA
