In Christ There Is No East or West
Author: John Oxenham Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 331 hymnals 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.

Has blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours today.

Through all our life be near us,
With ever-joyful hearts
And blessed peace to cheer us;
And keep us in his grace,
And guide us when perplexed,
And free us from all ills
In this world and the next.

The Father now be given,
The Son, and him who reigns
With them in highest heaven,
The one eternal God,
Whom earth and heaven adore;
For thus it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.

O Beautiful for Spacious Skies

For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!

God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

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!

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!

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!

O God of Earth and Altar
Author: Gilbert K. Chesterton Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 75 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God of earth and altar,
Bow down and hear our cry;
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die;
The walls of gold entomb us;
The swords of scorn divide;
Take not thy thunder from us,
But take away our pride.
2 From all that terror teaches,
From lies of tongue and pen,
From all the easy speeches
That comfort cruel men,
From sale and profanation
Of honor and the sword,
From sleep and from damnation,
Deliver us, good Lord!
3 Tie in a living tether
The prince and priest and thrall;
Bind all our lives together;
Smite us and save us all;
In ire and exultation,
Aflame with faith, and free,
Lift up a living nation,
A single sword to thee.

Your servants now below,
Your Holy Spirit, when they need,
Will show them how to go.

But still we trust your word
That blessed are the pure in heart,
For they shall see the Lord.

For pure in heart we'd be,
That we may see you, face to face,
Through all eternity.

The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise.

To see your glory face to face.
