O God of earth and altar
Light of the minds that know him
Author: Augustine (354-430); Timothy Dudley-Smith (born 1926) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #477a (1987) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Light of the minds that know him,
may Christ be light to mine!
my sun in risen splendour,
my light of truth divine;
my guide in doubt and darkness,
my true and living way,
my clear light ever shining,
my dawn of heaven's day.
2 Life of the souls that love him,
may Christ be ours indeed!
the living bread from heaven
on whom our spirits feed;
who died for love of sinners
to bear our guilty load,
and make of life's brief journey
a new Emmaus road.
3 Strength of the wills that serve him,
may Christ be strength to me,
who stilled the storm and tempest,
who calmed the tossing sea;
his Spirit's power to move me,
his will to master mine,
his cross to carry daily
and conquer in his sign.
4 May it be ours to know him
that we may truly love,
and loving, fully serve him
as serve the saints above;
till in that home of glory
with fadeless splendour bright,
we serve in perfect freedom
our strength, our life, our light. Topics: Easter The Resurrection of Christ; Easter 2 The Emmaus Road; God's Church Love and Devotion; Pentecost 7 The More Excellent Way Languages: English Tune Title: KING'S LYNN

O God of earth and altar
Author: G. K. Chesterton, 1874-1936 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #492 (1986) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 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 honour and the sword,
From sleep and from damnation,
Deliver us, good Lord!
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. Topics: Church and People National; St. George, Patron of England April 23rd Languages: English Tune Title: KING'S LYNN

Would live our lives for You.

Your advent ever near.

True man, yet God and Lord.

His faith, by death, confessed.

With Your elect be sealed.

And faith as sure as theirs.

And hold them when they waver
With Your almighty arm.

And guide us on our way.

But serve You to the end.

Enduring cross and strife.

To triumph in the strife.

Of light that grows in splendor
Until the perfect day.

Reached life through martyrdom.
St. Mary Magdalene:
20 All praise for Mary Magdalene,

For she was first to see You,
Her Lord, the risen Christ.
St. James the Elder, Apostle:
21 O Lord, for James we praise You,

For glory and for fame,
Equip us for such suff'rings
As glorify Your name.
St. Mary, Mother of Our Lord:
22 We sing with joy of Mary,

To magnify God's name,
As once for our salvation
Your mother she became.

That by Your truth made guileless,
Your glory we may see.

May rise and follow You.

Anoint us evermore.
