Like pillars round a palace set,

Give strength and beauty to the state.

Whose flocks and corn have large increase;
Where men securely work or rest,
Nor sons of plunder break the peace.

But more divinely blest are those
On whom the all-sufficient God
Himself with all his grace bestows. Scripture: Psalm 144:12-15

his truth is marching on.

his truth is marching on.

he is sifting out the hearts of all before his judgment seat:
O be swift, my soul, to answer him; be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on. [Refrain]
3 In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
with a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me;
as he died to make us holy, let us live to make men free,
while God is marching on. [Refrain]
4 He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave;
he is wisdom to the mighty; he is succour to the brave:
so the world shall be his foot-stool, and the soul of time his slave:
our God is marching on. [Refrain]

O God, our help in ages past
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,259 hymnals Topics: The Church Celebrates National Life Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home!
2 Under the shadow of thy throne,
thy saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is thine arm alone,
and our defence is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received her frame,
from everlasting thou art God,
to endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in thy sight
are like an evening gone;
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
bears all our years away;
they fly forgotten, as a dream
dies at the opening day.
6 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
be thou our guard while troubles last,
and our eternal home. Scripture: Psalm 90:1-5 Used With Tune: ST ANNE

The wonders that our fathers told,
Remember not our sin's dark stain,
Give peace, O God, give peace again.

Where rest but on Thy faithful word?
None ever called on Thee in vain,
Give peace, O God, give peace again.

Give peace, O God, give peace again. Used With Tune: HESPERUS

Judgments unsearchable, famine and sword;
Over the tumult of war Thou art reigning:
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord!
3 God, the All-merciful! earth hath forsaken
Thy ways of blessedness, slighted Thy word;
Bid not Thy wrath in its terrors awaken:
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord!
4 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!
5 God, the All-wise! by the fire of Thy chastening,
Earth shall to freedom and peace be restored;
Through the thick darkness Thy Kingdom is hastening;
Thou wilt give peace in Thy time, O Lord!
6 So shall Thy children, with 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.

O God of Every Nation
Author: William W. Reid, Jr. Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: God in Society National Life; National Life Lyrics: 1 O God of every nation,
of every race and land,
redeem the whole creation
with your almighty hand;
where hate and fear divide us
and bitter threats are hurled,
in love and mercy guide us,
and heal our strife-torn world.
2 From search for wealth and power
and scorn of truth and right,
from trust in bombs that shower
destruction through the night,
from pride of race and nation
and blindness to your way,
deliver every nation,
eternal God, we pray!
3 Lord, strengthen all who labor
that we may find release
from fear of rattling saber,
from dread of war's increase.
When hope and courage falter,
Lord, let your voice be heard;
with faith that none can alter,
your servants undergird.
4 Keep bright in us the vision
of days when war shall cease,
when hatred and division
give way to love and peace,
till dawns the morning glorious
when truth and justice reign,
and Christ shall rule victorious
o'er all the world's domain. Scripture: Psalm 67:3 Used With Tune: LLANGLOFFAN

For the healing of the nations
Author: Fred Kaan (b. 1929) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: The Church Celebrates National Life 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. Scripture: Galatians 5:26 Used With Tune: TRIUMPH
For the healing of the nations
