O ye immortal throng
To the Name of our salvation
Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 122 hymnals Topics: Holy Days and Various Occasions Holy Name: New Year (January 1) Lyrics: 1. To the Name of our salvation
laud and honor let us pay,
which for many a generation
hid in God's foreknowledge lay;
but with holy exultation
we may sing aloud today.
2. Jesus is the Name we treasure;
Name beyond what words can tell;
Name of gladness, Name of pleasure,
ear and heart delighting well;
Name of sweetness, passing measure,
saving us from sin and hell.
3. 'Tis the Name that whoso preacheth
speaks like music to the ear;
who in prayer this Name beseecheth
sweetest comfort findeth near;
who its perfect wisdom reacheth,
heavenly joy possesseth here.
4. Therefore we, in love adoring,
this most blessed Name revere,
holy Jesus, thee imploring
so to write it in us here
that hereafter, heavenward soaring,
we may sing with angels there.

this day so long foretold,
whose promise shone with cheering ray
on waiting saints of old.

for faithful folk to read:
a virgin born of David's line
shall bear the promised seed.
3. Ask not how this should be,
but worship and adore,
like her whom heaven's Majesty
came down to shadow o'er.
4. She meekly bowed her head
to hear the gracious word,
Mary, the pure and lowly maid,
the favored of the Lord.
5. Most blest shall be her name
in all the Church on earth,
through whom that wondrous mercy came,
the incarnate Savior's birth.

For mercy and for grace;
O hear our lowly cry,
And hide not Thou Thy face.
O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand,
And guard and bless our fatherland.
2 Arise, O Lord of hosts;
Be jealous for Thy name,
And drive from out our coasts
The sins that put to shame.
O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand,
And guard and bless our fatherland.
3 Thy best gifts from on high
In rich abundance pour,
That we may magnify
And praise Thee more and more.
O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand,
And guard and bless our fatherland.
4 The powers ordained by Thee,
With heavenly wisdom bless;
May they Thy servants be,
And rule in righteousness.
O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand,
And guard and bless our fatherland.
5 The Church of Thy dear Son
Inflame with love's pure fire,
Bind her once more in one,
And life and truth inspire.
O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand,
And guard and bless our fatherland.
6 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. Tune Title: [To Thee our God we fly]

Folliott Sandford Pierpoint
1835 - 1917 Person Name: F. S. Pierpoint Topics: Various Occasions Thanksgiving Day Author of "For the beauty of the earth" in The Lutheran Hymnary In the spring of 1863, Folliott S. Pierpoint (b. Bath, Somerset, England, 1835; d. Newport, Monmouthshire, England, 1917) sat on a hilltop outside his native city of Bath, England, admiring the country view and the winding Avon River. Inspired by the view to think about God's gifts in creation and in the church, Pierpont wrote this text. Pierpont was educated at Queen's College, Cambridge, England, and periodically taught classics at Somersetshire College. But because he had received an inheritance, he did not need a regular teaching position and could afford the leisure of personal study and writing. His three volumes of poetry were collected in 1878; he contributed hymns to The Hymnal Noted (1852) and Lyra Eucharistica (1864). "For the Beauty of the Earth" is the only Pierpont hymn still sung today.

He is most widely known through:—
"For the beauty of the earth." Holy Communion, or Flower Service. This was contributed to the 2nd edition of Orby Shipley's Lyra Eucharistica, 1864, in 8 stanzas of 6 lines, as a hymn to be sung at the celebration of Holy Communion. In this form it is not usually found, but in 4, or sometimes in 5, stanzas, it is extensively used for Flower Services and as a Children's hymn.
