By gracious powers so wonderfully sheltered

Author: Dietrich Bonhoeffer, 1906-1945; Fred Pratt Green, 1903- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #658 (1997) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 By gracious powers so wonderfully sheltered, and confidently waiting come what may, we know that God is with us night and morning, and never fails to greet us each new day. 2 Yet is this heart by its old foe tormented, still evil days bring burdens hard to bear; oh give our frightened souls the sure salvation, for which, O Lord, you taught us to prepare. 3 And when this cup you give is filled to brimming with bitter sorrow, hard to understand, we take it thankfully and without trembling, out of so good and so beloved a hand. 4 Yet when again in this same world you give us the joy we had, the brightness of your sun, we shall remember all the days we lived through, and our whole life shall then be yours alone.

Our Nation, God, Its Heart to Thee Upraiseth

Author: Robert S. Bridges Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5237 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1. Our nation, God, its heart to Thee upraiseth, O Lord, the nation bows before Thy face: With high thanksgiving, Thee Thy glad church praiseth, Our strength Thy Spir’t, our trust and hope Thy grace. 2. Unto great honor, glory undeservèd, Hast Thou exalted us, and drawn Thee nigh: Nor, from Thy judgments, when our feet had swervèd, Didst Thou forsake, nor leave us, Lord most high. 3. In Thee our fathers trusted, and were savèd, In Thee destroyèd thrones of tyrants proud: From ancient bondage freed the poor enslavèd; To sow Thy truth poured out their saintly blood. 4. Us now, we pray, O God, in anger scorn not, Nor to vainglorying leave, nor brutish sense In time of trouble Thy face from us turn not, Who art our rock, our stately sure defense. 5. Unto our minds give freedom and uprightness; Let strengthened courage lead o’er land and wave, To our souls’ armor grant celestial brightness, Joy to our hearts, and faith beyond the grave. 6. Our plenteous nation still in power extending, Increase our joy, uphold us by Thy Word: Beauty and wisdom all our ways attending, Good will to man and peace through Christ our Lord.

O Son of God, Our Captain of Salvation

Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5325 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1. O Son of God, our captain of salvation, Thyself by suffering schooled to human grief, We bless Thee for Thy sons of consolation, Who follow in the steps of Thee their chief. 2. Those whom Thy Spirit’s dread vocation severs To lead the vanguard of Thy conquering host; Whose toilsome years are spent in brave endeavors To bear Thy saving name from coast to coast. 3. Those whose bright faith makes feeble hearts grow stronger, And sends fresh warriors to the great campaign, Bids the lone convert feel estranged no longer, And wins the sundered to be one again. 4. And all true helpers, patient, kind, and skillful, Who shed Thy light across our darkened earth, Counsel the doubting, and restrain the willful, Soothe the sick bed, and share the children’s mirth. 5. Such was Thy Levite, strong in self oblation, To cast his all at Thine apostles’ feet; He whose new name, through every Christian nation, From age to age our thankful strains repeat. 6. Thus, Lord, Thy blessèd saints in memory keeping, Still be Thy Church’s watchword, Comfort ye, Till in our Father’s house shall end all weeping, And every want be satisfied in Thee.

Since Godly Men are eve'ry Day decreasing

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XII (1767) Lyrics: 1 Since Godly Men are ev'ry Day decreasing, Do thou, O LORD, my righteous Cause defend; These wretched Times are to my Soul displeasing, They scarce afford one just and faithful Friend. 2 One Neighbour now can scarce believe another Or trust in any Thing he doth impart; With flatt'ring Lips each Man deceives his Brother, And oft ensnares him with a double Heart. 3 But faithless Lips with treach'rous Words abounding, The LORD will not permit to prosper long; His awful Vengeance them with Fear confounding, Shall sudden strike the proud blaspheming Tongue. 4 In vain are still those foolish Boasters saying, "We'll freely talk, our Tongues are sure our own? "With doubtful Words the Innocent betraying, "We'll still go on and be controul'd by none." 5 For GOD, who always hears the Poor distressed, And all their Sorrow and Affliction knows, Shall soon arise, their Wrongs shall be redressed; He gives them Rest in spite of all their Foes. 6 Their Hopes are sure who have on GOD relied, His Word shall stand, and void of Falshood be; Like Silver, sev'n times in the Furnace tried, Still pure remains from drossy Mixture free. 7 GOD keeps the Righteous from this Generation; Thou for their Safety ever will provide; When vilest Man rise to the highest Station, The Wicked then exult on ev'ry Side.

My Lord, my Master, at thy feet adoring

Author: Jacques Bridaine, 1701-1767; Thomas Benson Pollock, 1836-1896 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #140b (2010) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 My Lord, my Master, at thy feet adoring, I see thee bowed beneath thy load of woe: for me, a sinner, is thy life-blood pouring; for thee, my Saviour, scarce my tears will flow. 2 Thine own disciple to the Jews has sold thee, with friendship's kiss and loyal word he came; how oft of faithful love my lips have told thee, while thou hast seen my falsehood and my shame! 3 With taunts and scoffs they mock what seems thy weakness, with blows and outrage adding pain to pain; thou art unmoved and steadfast in thy meekness; when I am wronged, how quickly I complain! 4 My Lord, my Saviour, when I see thee wearing upon thy bleeding brow the crown of thorn, shall I for pleasure live, or shrink from bearing whate'er my lot may be of pain or scorn? 5 O victim of thy love! O pangs most healing! O saving death! O wounds that I adore! O shame most glorious! Christ, before thee kneeling, I pray thee keep me thine for evermore.
