Before the Lord we bow
Author: Francis Scott Key, 1779-1843 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #339 (1958) Topics: Church Life and Work City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 Before the Lord we bow,
The God who reigns above,
And rules the world below,
Boundless in power and love.
Our thanks we bring
In joy and praise,
Our hearts we raise
To heaven's high King.
2 The nation thou hast blest
May well thy love declare,
From foes and fears at rest,
Protected by thy care.
For this fair land,
For this bright day,
Our thanks we pay--
Gifts of thy hand.
3 May every mountain height,
Each vale and forest green,
Shine in thy word's pure light,
And its rich fruits be seen!
May every tongue
Be tuned to praise,
And join to raise
A grateful song.
4 Earth, hear thy Maker's voice,
The great Redeemer own;
Believe, obey, rejoice,
And worship him alone,
Cast down thy pride,
Thy sin deplore,
And bow before
The Crucified.
5 And when in power he comes,
O may our native land,
From all its rending tombs,
Send forth a glorious band,
A countless throng
Ever to sing
To heaven's high King
Salvation's song. Languages: English Tune Title: DARWALL'S 148TH
Before the Lord we bow
From ocean unto ocean
Author: Robert Murray, 1832-1910 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #340 (1958) Topics: Church Life and Work City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 From ocean unto ocean
Our land shall own thee Lord,
And, filled with true devotion,
Obey thy sovereign word,
Our prairies and our mountains,
Forest and fertile field,
Our rivers, lakes, and fountains,
To thee shall tribute yield.
2 O Christ, for thine own glory,
And for our country's weal,
We humbly plead before thee,
Thyself in us reveal;
And may we know, Lord Jesus,
The touch of thy dear hand,
And, healed of our diseases,
The Tempter's power withstand. A-men.
3 Our Saviour King, defend us,
And guide where we should go;
Forth, with thy message send us,
Thy love and light to show;
Till, fired with true devotion
Enkindled by thy word,
From ocean unto ocean
Our land shall own thee Lord.
Amen.

From ocean unto ocean
Thou, by heavenly hosts adored
Author: Henry Harbaugh, 1817 - 67 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #341 (1958) Topics: Church Life and Work City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 Thou, by heavenly hosts adored,
Gracious, mighty, sovereign Lord,
God of nations, King of kings,
Head of all created things,
By the Church with joy confest,
God o'er all for ever blest;
Pleading at thy throne we stand:
Save thy people, bless our land.
2 From all public sin and shame,
From ambition's grasping aim,
From rebellion, war and death,
From the pestilential breath,
From dread famine's awful stroke,
From oppression's galling yoke,
From the judgments of thy hand:
Spare thy people, spare our land.
3 Let our rulers ever be
Men that love and honor thee;
Let the powers by thee ordained
Be in righteousness maintained;
In the people's hearts increase
Love of piety and peace;
Thus united, we shall stand
One wide, free, and happy land.

Lord of lords and King of kings,
With thy living fire of judgment
Purge this land of bitter things;
Solace all its wide dominion
With the healing of thy wings.

For the hour that brings release,
And the city's crowded clangor
Cries aloud for sin to cease;
And the homesteads and the woodlands
Plead in silence for their peace. A-men.
3 Crown, O God, thine own endeavor;
Cleave our darkness with thy sword;
Feed the faint and hungry heathen
With the richness of thy word;
Cleanse the body of this nation
Through the glory of the Lord.

God of our fathers, known of old
Author: Rudyard Kipling, 1865 - 1936 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #347 (1958) Topics: Church Life and Work City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 God of our fathers, known of old,
Lord of our far-flung battle-line,
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine;
Lord God of hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget--lest we forget!
2 The tumult and the shouting dies;
The captains and the kings depart;
Still stands thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and a contrite heart.
Lord God of hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget--lest we forget! A-men.
3 Far called, our navies melt away;
On dune and headland sinks the fire:
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!
Judge of the nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget--lest we forget!
4 If, drunk with sight of power, we loose
Wild tongues that have not thee in awe,
Such boastings as the Gentiles use,
Or lesser breeds without the law--
Lord God of hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget--lest we forget!
5 For heathen heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard,
All valiant dust that builds on dust,
And, guarding, calls not thee to guard,
For frantic boast and foolish word--
Thy mercy on thy people, Lord!
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MATTHIAS
God of our fathers, known of old
God of peace, in peace preserve us

Hear us, merciful Lord God!
Let no lust for power swerve us
From the way our Master trod.
Guarded by thy mighty hand,
Safe and free our people stand.
2 God of love, if foemen face us
Armed with weapons forged in hate,
Let not pride nor greed debase us;
All our efforts consecrate
That the wrong shall be made right
In the Spirit, by thy might. A-men.
3 God of mercy, bid the terrors
Of inhuman strife to cease;
Overrule our grievous errors
By thy scepter, Prince of Peace.
Let thine angels speak again,
'Peace of earth, good will toward men.'
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: PAX (KILGORE)
God of peace, in peace preserve us
Eternal Ruler of the ceaseless round
Author: John White Chadwick, 1840 - 1904 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #350 (1958) Topics: Church Life and Work City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 Eternal Ruler of the ceaseless round
Of circling planets singing on their way,
Guide of the nations from the night profound
Into the glory of the perfect day:
Rule in our hearts, that we may ever be
Guided and strengthened and upheld by thee.
2 We are of thee, the children of thy love,
The brothers of thy well-beloved Son;
Descend, O Holy Spirit, like a dove,
Into our hearts, that we may be as one;
As one with thee, to whom we ever tend,
As one with him, our brother and our friend. A-men.
3 We would be one in hatred of all wrong,
One in our love of all things sweet and fair,
One with the joy that breaketh into song,
One with the grief that trembleth into prayer,
One in the power that makes the children free
To follow truth, and thus to follow thee.
4 O clothe us with thy heavenly armor, Lord,
Thy trusty shield, thy sword of love divine;
Our inspiration be thy constant word,
We ask no victories that are not thine;
Give or withhold, let pain or pleasure be,
Enough to know that we are serving thee.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: SONG 1
Eternal Ruler of the ceaseless round
