Blood-Patterson Hymnal: Worship in Song #290 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D 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 Poor home and mighty hall; Bind all our lives together, Transform and save us all; In ire and exultation Aflame with faith, and free, Lift up a living nation With hearts made one in thee!
