Sing to the Lord of Harvest

Author: John S. B. Monsell Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 124 hymnals Topics: The Church in the World Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord of harvest, sing songs of love and praise; with joyful hearts and voices your alleluias raise. By him the rolling seasons in fruitful order move; sing to the Lord of harvest a joyful song of love. 2 God makes the clouds drop fatness, the deserts bloom and spring; the hills leap up in gladness, the valleys laugh and sing. He fills from his great fullness all things with large increase; he crowns the year with goodness, with plenty, and with peace. 3 Heap on his sacred altar the gifts his goodness gave, the golden sheaves of harvest, the souls Christ died to save. Your hearts lay down before him when at his feet you fall, and with your lives adore him who gave his life for all. Used With Tune: WIE LIEBLICH IST DER MAIEN

O God of Every Nation

Author: William Watkins Reid, Jr. Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: The Church in the World Commitment: Peace and Justice Lyrics: 1 O God of every nation, of every race and land, redeem the whole creation with your almighty hand; where hate and fear divide us and bitter threats are hurled, in love and mercy guide us and heal our strife-torn world. 2 From search for wealth and power and scorn of truth and right, from trust in bombs that shower destruction through the night, from pride of race and nation and blindness to your way, deliver every nation, eternal God, we pray. 3 Give strength to those who labour that all may find release from fear of rattling sabre, from dread of war's increase; when hope and courage falter, your still small voice be heard: with faith that none can alter, your servants undergird. 4 Keep bright in us the vision of days when war shall cease, when hatred and division give way to love and peace, till dawns the morning glorious when peace on earth shall reign and Christ shall rule victorious o'er all the world's domain.

To a life of love in action help us rise and pledge our word. 2 Lead us forward into freedom, from despair your world release; that, redeemed from war and hatred, all may come and go in peace. Show us how through care and goodness fear will die and hope increase. 3 All that kills abundant living, let it from the earth be banned; pride of status, race or schooling, dogmas that obscure your plan. In our common quest for justice may we hallow life's brief span. 4 You, Creator God, have written your great name on humankind; for our growing in your likeness bring the life of Christ to mind, that by our response and service earth its destiny may find.

Yet he who dwells in heaven above chooses to live with us in love, making our bodies his temple. 3 We are God's house of living stones, built for his own habitation; he fills our hearts, his humble thrones, granting us life and salvation. Yet to this place, an earthly frame, we come with thanks to praise his name; God grants his people true blessing. Used With Tune: KIRKEN
