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.

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. Languages: English Tune Title: MUNICH (MEININGEN)

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

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

A-men. 3 God, the All-righteous One! man hath defied thee, Yet to eternity standeth thy word; Falsehood and wrong shall not tarry beside thee; Give to us peace in our time, O Lord. 4 God, the All-wise! by the fire of thy chastening Earth shall to freedom and truth be restored; Through the thick darkness thy kingdom is hastening: Thou wilt give peace in thy time, O Lord. 5 So shall thy children in thankful devotion Praise him who saved them from peril and sword, Singing in chorus from ocean to ocean: 'Peace to the nations, and praise to the Lord.' Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: RUSSIAN HYMN

Where restless crowds are thronging

Author: Thomas Curtis Clark, 1877-1953 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #355 (1958) Topics: Church Life and Work City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 Where restless crowds are thronging Along the city ways, Where pride and greed and turmoil Consume the fevered days, Where vain ambitions banish All thoughts of praise and prayer, The people’s spirits waver: But thou, O Christ, art there. A-men. 2 In scenes of want and sorrow And haunts of flagrant wrong, In homes where kindness falters, And strife and fear are strong, In busy street of barter, In lonely thoroughfare, The people’s spirits languish: But thou, O Christ, art there. 3 O Christ, behold thy people-- They press on every hand! Bring light to all the cities Of our beloved land. May all our bitter striving Give way to visions fair Of righteousness and justice: For thou, O Christ, art there. Amen.
