To Thee our God we fly
Author: W. Walsham How Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 93 hymnals Topics: Rogation Days Lyrics:
To thee our God we fly
For mercy and for grace;
O hear our lowly cry
And hide not thou thy face.
Arise, O Lord of hosts;
Be jealous for thy Name,
And drive from out our coasts
The sins that put to shame.
Thy best gifts from on high
In rich abundance pour
That we may magnify
And praise thee more and more.
The powers ordained by thee,
With heavenly wisdom bless;
May they thy servants be,
And rule in righteousness.
The Church of thy dear Son
Inflame with love's pure fire,
Bind her once more in one,
And life and truth inspire.
Give peace, Lord, in our time;
O let no foe draw nigh,
Nor lawless deed of crime
Insult thy Majesty.
O Lord, stretch forth thy mighty hand,
And guard and bless our fatherland.
Amen.

To Thee our God we fly
All good gifts around us
Author: Matthias Claudius; Jane M. Campbell Meter: 7.6.7.6 D with refrain Appears in 462 hymnals Topics: Rogation Days First Line: We plow the fields, and scatter Lyrics:
We plow the fields, and scatter
The good seed on the land,
But it is fed and watered
By God's almighty hand;
He sends the snow in winter,
The warmth to swell the grain,
The breezes and the sunshine,
And soft refreshing rain.
All good gifts around us
Are sent from heaven above;
Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord
For all his love.
385
He only is the Maker
Of all things near and far;
He paints the wayside flower,
He lights the evening star;
The winds and waves obey him,
By him the birds are fed;
Much more to us, his children,
He gives our daily bread.
We thank thee, then, O Father,
For all things bright and good,
The seedtime and the harvest,
Our life, our health, our food:
No gifts have we to offer
For all thy love imparts,
But that which thou desirest,
Our humble, thankful hearts.
Amen.

Lord, in Thy name Thy servants plead
Author: Rev. J. Keble Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 68 hymnals Topics: Rogation Days Lyrics: 1 Lord, in Thy Name Thy servants plead,
And Thou hast sworn to hear;
Thine is the harvest, Thine the seed,
The fresh and fading year.
2 Our hope, when autumn winds blew wild,
We trusted, Lord, with Thee:
And now that spring has on us smiled,
We wait on Thy decree.
3 The former and the latter rain,
The summer sun and air,
The green ear, and the golden grain,
All Thine, are ours by prayer.
4 Thine too by right, and ours by grace,
The wondrous growth unseen,
The hopes that soothe, the fears that brace,
The love that shines serene.
5 So grant the precious things brought forth
By sun and moon below,
That Thee, in Thy new heavens and earth,
We never may forego.
Amen. Used With Tune: [Lord, in Thy name Thy servants plead]

as seasons come and go;
the hand that shaped the rose hath wrought
the crystal of the snow,
has sent the silvery frost of heaven,
the flowing waters sealed,
and laid a silent loveliness
on hill and wood and field.

the radiant morns unfold;
the solemn splendours of the night
burn brighter through the cold;
life mounts in every throbbing vein,
love deepens round the hearth,
and clearer sounds the angel hymn,
good will to all on earth.
3 O God, from whose unfathomed law
the year in beauty flows,
yourself the vision passing by
in crystal and in rose,
day unto day declare thro' speech,
and night to night proclaim,
in ever-changing words of light
the wonder of your name. Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN

may yield her fruits again:

Lord of lords and King of kings,
With thy living fire of judgement

For the hour that brings release:
And the city’s crowded clangour
Cries aloud for sin to cease;
And the homesteads and the woodlands
Plead in silence for their peace.

Cleave our darkness with thy sword;
Feed the faithless and the hungry
With the richness of your word:
Cleanse the body of this nation
Through the glory of the Lord. Used With Tune: RHUDDLAN

Till all our wanderings cease,
And at our Father’s loved abode
Our souls arrive in peace. Used With Tune: STRACATHRO

In the help we give our neighbour,
God's will is done.
In our worldwide task of caring

for the truths that still confound us,
most of all that love has found us,
thanks be to God. Scripture: Leviticus 19:1-2 Used With Tune: AR HYD Y NOS
