See the day of God appear. 4 Yea, Amen; let all adore Thee, High on Thine eternal throne: Saviour, take the power and glory; Claim the kingdoms for Thine own: Alleluia! Thou shalt reign, and Thou alone! Amen. Topics: Advent Used With Tune: ST. THOMAS

For the Healing of the Nations

Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 58 hymnals Lyrics: 1 For the healing of the nations, Lord, we pray with one accord; for a just and equal sharing of the things that earth affords; to a life of love in action help us rise and pledge our word. 2 Lead us forward into freedom; from despair your world release, that, redeemed from war and hatred, all may come and go in peace. Show us how through care and goodness fear will die and hope increase. 3 All that kills abundant living, let it from the earth be banned: pride of status, race, or schooling, dogmas that obscure your plan. In our common quest for justice may we hallow life's brief span. 4 You, Creator God, have written your great name on humankind; for our growing in your likeness, bring the life of Christ to mind, that by our response and service earth its destiny may find.

Now, my tongue the mystery telling

Author: T. Aquinas Appears in 52 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now, my tongue the mystery telling Of the glorious Body sing, And the Blood, all price excelling, Which the Gentiles' Lord and King, Once on earth amongst us dwelling, Shed for this world's ransoming. 2 Given for us and condescending To be born for us below, He with men in converse blending Dwelt, the seed of truth to sow, Till He closed with wondrous ending His most patient life of woe. 3 That last night at supper lying, Mid the Twelve, His chosen band, Jesus, with the Law complying, Keeps the Feast its rites demand; Then, more precious food supplying, Gives Himself with His own hand. 4 Word-made-flesh true bread He maketh By His word His Flesh to be; Wine His Blood; which whoso taketh Must from carnal thoughts be free; Faith alone, though sight forsaketh, Shows true hearts the mystery. Part II 5 Therefore we, before Him bending, This great Sacrament revere; Types and shadows have their ending, For the newer rite is here; Faith, our outward sense befriending, Makes our inward vision clear. 6 Glory let us give and blessing To the Father and the Son, Honour, thanks, and praise addressing, While eternal ages run; Ever too His love confessing Who from Both with Both is One.
