Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Savior, in this quiet place, where anyone may kneel, I also come to ask for grace, believing you can heal. 2 If pain of body, stress of mind, destroys my inward peace, in prayer for others may I find the secret of release. 3 If self upon its sickness feeds and turns my life to gall, let me not brood upon my needs, but simply tell you all. 4 You never said “You ask too much” to any troubled soul. I long to feel your healing touch; will you not make me whole? 5 But if the thing I most desire is not your way for me, may faith, when tested in the fire, prove its integrity. 6 Of all my prayers, may this be chief: till faith is fully grown, Lord, disbelieve my unbelief, and claim me as your own.

Behold a Broken World

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold a broken world, we pray, where want and war increase, and grant us, Lord, in this our day, the ancient dream of peace: 2 a dream of swords to sickles bent, of spears to scythe and spade, the weapons of our warfare spent, a world of peace remade; 3 where ev'ry battle flag is furled and ev'ry trumpet stilled, where wars shall cease in all the world, a waking dream fulfilled. 4 No force of arms shall there prevail nor justice cease its sway; nor shall their loftiest visions fail the dreamers of the day. 5 O Prince of peace, who died to save, a lost world to redeem, and rose in triumph from the grave, behold our waking dream. 6 Bring, Lord, your better world to birth, your kingdom, love's domain; where peace with God, and peace on earth, and peace eternal reign.

O God of hosts, whose power and might

Author: Samuel Mortimer Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God of hosts, whose power and might O'er all the worlds holds sway, Thy majesty and sovereign right The winds and seas obey. 2 Our fathers' God, to whom they came In every storm and stress, Through rolling years Thou art the same, A God of righteousness. 3 Thou wast their shield and hiding-place, Their shelter and defence; They trusted Thy redeeming grace, Thy strength their confidence. 4 In sufferings oft, e'en to the stake, They still on Thee relied; No torture could their ardour shake, And for the truth they died. 5 O Britain's sons, shall it be said Your fathers died in vain? Thrice No! the martyrs' blood was shed That freedom you might gain. 6 O God, we too on Thee depend, And on Thy word rely; Thou art our Father and our Friend To all eternity.
