Braving the wilds all unexplored

Author: Rev. Robert Freeman Hymnal: HPAG1933 #418 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.10.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Braving the wilds all unexplored, Dreamers of dreams and pioneers, Wielding the sickle, goad, and sword, They marched with the sun to the last frontiers— God of the valiant, grant that we, Their sons, do follow valiantly! 2 Fair knights of justice and of good, They gave to evil battle gage; Bearing their souls in rectitude, They left a goodly heritage— God of the righteous, grant that we, Their sons, do follow righteously! 3 Guards of the sacred altar flame, Bringers of learning and of faith, They lumined life in the blessed Name, And hope they flared in the day of death— God of the faithful, grant that we, Their sons, do follow faithfully! 4 Theirs was the Presence ever sure, Theirs was the all-abounding grace, Theirs was the passion ever pure To honor the Lord in all their ways— God of the Christ-like, grant that we Do follow, follow worthily!

O God of earth and altar

Author: Gilbert K. Chesterton Hymnal: HPAG1933 #419 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D 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 honor and the sword; From sleep and from damnation, Deliver us, good Lord! 3 Tie in a living tether The priest and prince 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.

Turn back, O man, forswear thy foolish ways

Author: Clifford Bax Hymnal: HPAG1933 #424 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Turn back, O man, forswear thy foolish ways. Old now is earth, and none may count her days, Yet thou, her child, whose head is crowned with flame, Still wilt not hear thine inner God proclaim— "Turn back, O man, forswear thy foolish ways." 2 Earth might be fair and all men glad and wise. Age after age their tragic empires rise, Built while they dream, and in that dreaming weep: Would man but wake from out his haunted sleep, Earth might be fair and all men glad and wise. 3 Earth shall be fair, and all her people one: Nor till that hour shall God's whole will be done. Now, even now, once more from earth to sky, Peals forth in joy man's old, undaunted cry— "Earth shall be fair, and all her folk be one!" Amen.
