Thou Lord of Hosts, whose guiding hand

Author: Octavius Brooke Frothingham, 1822 - 95 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #305 (1958) Topics: Church Life and Work The Ministry Lyrics: 1 Thou Lord of Hosts, whose guiding hand Hast brought us here before thy face, Our spirits wait for thy command, Our silent hearts implore thy peace. A-men. 2 Those spirits lay their noblest powers As offerings on thy holy shrine: Thine was the strength that nourished ours; The soldiers of the cross are thine. 3 While watching on our arms at night We saw thine angels round us move; We heard thy call, we felt thy light, And followed, trusting to thy love. 4 Send us where’er thou wilt, O Lord! Through rugged toil and wearying fight; Thy conquering love shall be our sword, And faith in thee our truest might. 5 Send down thy constant aid, we pray; Be thy pure angels with us still; Thy truth, be that our firmest stay; Our only rest, to do thy will. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: TRURO

O Spirit of the living God

A-men. 4 O Spirit of the Lord, prepare All the round earth her God to meet; Breathe thou abroad like morning air, Till hearts of stone begin to beat. 5 Baptize the nations; far and nigh The triumphs of the Cross record; The name of Jesus glorify Till every kindred call him Lord.

Soon shall your sons be free; The sleep of ages break, And rise to liberty. On your far hills, long cold and grey, Has dawned the everlasting day. 4 Shores of the utmost West, Ye that have waited long, Unvisited, unblest, Break forth to swelling song; High raise the note, that Jesus died, Yet lives and reigns, the Crucified. 5 Shout, while ye journey home! Songs be in every mouth! Lo, from the North we come, From East, and West, and South: City of God, the bond are free, We come to live and reign in thee! Languages: English Tune Title: LITTLE CORNARD
