At Length There Dawns the Glorious Day
Author: Ozora S. Davis Hymnal: H4BG1935 #70 (1936) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 At length there dawns the glorious day
By prophets long foretold,
At length the chorus clearer grows
That shepherds heard of old.
The day of dawning brotherhood
Breaks on our eager eyes,
And human hatreds flee before
The radiant eastern skies.
2 For what are sund’ring strains of blood,
Or ancient caste and creed?
One claim unites all men in God
To serve each human need.
Then here together, brother men,
We pledge the Lord anew
Our loyal love, our stalwart faith,
Our service strong and true.
3 One common faith unites us all,
We seek one common goal;
One tender comfort broods upon
The struggling human soul.
To this clear call of brotherhood
Our hearts responsive ring;
We join the glorious new crusade
Of our great Lord and King.
Amen. Topics: World Friendship Tune Title: ALL SAINTS NEW
At Length There Dawns the Glorious Day
To Thee, O Heavenly Father
Author: Charlotte M. Yonge Hymnal: H4BG1935 #71 (1936) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 To thee, O heavenly Father,
We raise our hearts in prayer.
Be with us as we gather;
Thine ear incline and hear.
O, grant to every nation
From thy great throne above
A better realization
Of thy most perfect love.
2 Endue us with thy Spirit:
May we in thee abide,
That we may all inherit
A place by thy dear side!
O, Lord, may we in wisdom
Obey thy law divine
That we may seek thy kingdom
And be forever thine.
3 O, haste the day of promise
When all the earth shall be
Forever free from malice:
Content to follow thee!
Then men shall come confessing
And strife and wars shall cease
And we shall know the blessing
Of thy eternal peace.
Amen. Topics: World Friendship Tune Title: SUPPLICATION
To Thee, O Heavenly Father
In Christ There Is No East or West
Author: John Oxenham Hymnal: H4BG1935 #72 (1936) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 In Christ there is no East or West,
In him no South or North;
But one great fellowship of love
Throughout the whole wide earth.
2 In him shall true hearts everywhere
Their high communion find;
His service is the golden cord
Close binding all mankind.
3 Join hands then, brothers of the faith,
Whate'er your race may be:
Who serves my Father as a son
Is surely kin to me.
4 In Christ now meet both East and West,
In him meet South and North;
All Christly souls are one in him
Throughout the whole wide earth.
Amen. Topics: World Friendship Tune Title: ST. PETER

The World Came to My Home To-day
Author: Harry Webb Farrington Hymnal: H4BG1935 #73 (1936) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 The world came to my home to-day,
To spread a wondrous feast;
The ships and planes in bright array
Brought gifts from west and east;
From India, spice; from China, tea,
My table high to fill;
Each nation sent in peace to me
A token of goodwill.
2 The world came to my school to-day,
And brought me wondrous games;
The playmates strange had nought to say,
Nor told their stranger names;
But all could laugh and play like me,
Soft, warm were heart and hand,
That made a ring strong as could be
Of friends from every land.
3 The whole world came to church to-day,
Their praise and gifts to bring;
In every tongue to sing and pray
And worship Jesus, King.
Not as the Wise Men, riding far,
To find him in once place;
His spirit, coming where we are,
Binds hearts of every race. Topics: World Friendship Tune Title: INTERCESSION
The World Came to My Home To-day
God of the Nations, Near and Far
Author: John Haynes Holmes Hymnal: H4BG1935 #74 (1936) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 God of the nations, near and far,
Ruler of all mankind,
Bless thou thy people as they strive
The paths of peace to find.
2 O Father, from the curse of war
We pray thee give release,
And speed, O speed the blessed day
Of justice, love and peace.
Amen. Topics: World Friendship Tune Title: SAWLEY

Our Father! Thy Dear Name Doth Show
Author: Charles H. Richards Hymnal: H4BG1935 #75 (1936) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Our Father! Thy dear Name doth show
The greatness of thy love;
All are thy children here below
As in thy heaven above.
One family on earth are we
Throughout its widest span:
O help us everywhere to see
The brotherhood of man.
2 Alike we share thy tender care;
We trust one heav'nly Friend;
Before one mercy-seat in prayer
In confidence we bend;
Alike we hear thy loving call;
One heav'nly vision scan,
One Lord, one faith, one hope for all,
The brotherhood of man.
3 Bring in, we pray, the glorious day
When battle cries are stilled;
When bitter strife is swept away
And hearts with love are filled.
O help us banish pride and wrong,
Which since the world began
Have marred its peace; help us make strong
The brotherhood of man.
Amen. Topics: World Friendship Tune Title: BETHLEHEM

The Fathers Built This City
Author: William G. Tarrant Hymnal: H4BG1935 #76 (1936) Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 The fathers built this city
In ages long ago,
And busy in the busy streets,
They hurried to and fro;
The children played around them,
And sang the songs of yore,
Till one by one they fell asleep,
To work and play no more.
2 Yet still the city standeth,
A hive of toiling men,
And mother’s love makes happy home
For children now as then;
O God of ages, help us,
Such citizens to be,
That children’s children here may sing
The songs of liberty.
3 Let all the people praise thee,
Give all thy saving health,
Or vain the laborer’s strong right arm
And vain the merchant’s wealth,
Send out Thy light to banish
The shadows of the shame,
Till all the civic virtues shine
Around our city’s name.
4 A commonweal of brothers,
United, great and small,
Upon our banner blazoned be
The Charter, "Each for all!"
Nor let us cease from battle,
Nor weary sheathe the sword,
Until this city is become
The city of the Lord.
Amen. Topics: Our City Tune Title: ALFORD

My Country, 'Tis of Thee
Author: Samuel F. Smith Hymnal: H4BG1935 #77 (1936) Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Lyrics: 1 My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing:
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountain side
Let freedom ring.
2 My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills,
My heart with rapture thrills,
Like that above.
3 Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song:
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.
4 Our fathers' God, to thee,
Author of liberty,
To thee we sing:
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by thy might,
Great God, our King.
Amen. Topics: Our Country Tune Title: AMERICA

O Lord, Our God, Thy Mighty Hand
Author: Henry Van Dyke Hymnal: H4BG1935 #78 (1936) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: O Lord, our God, thy mighty hand Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our God, thy mighty hand
Hath made our country free;
From all her broad and happy land
May worship rise to thee.
Fulfill the promise of her youth,
Her liberty defend;
By law and order, love and truth,
America, befriend!
2 The strength of every state increase
In union’s golden chain;
Her thousand cities fill with peace,
Her million fields with grain.
The virtues of her mingled blood
In one new people blend;
By unity and brotherhood,
America, befriend!
3 O suffer not her feet to stray;
But guide her untaught might,
That she may walk in peaceful day,
And lead the world in light.
Bring down the proud, lift up the poor,
Unequal ways amend;
By justice, nationwide and sure,
America, befriend!
4 Through all the waiting land proclaim
Thy gospel of goodwill;
And may the joy of Jesus’ name
In every bosom thrill.
O’er hill, and vale, from sea to sea,
Thy holy reign extend;
By faith and hope and charity,
America, befriend! Topics: Our Country Tune Title: DE KOVEN

O Beautiful for Spacious Skies
Author: Katherine Lee Bates Hymnal: H4BG1935 #79 (1936) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood,
From sea to shining sea.
2 O beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law.
3 O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness,
And every gain divine.
4 O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam,
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.
Amen. Topics: Our Country Tune Title: MATERNA
