Lo! the Gentile Chain is Broken

Author: P. P. Pratt Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lo! the Gentile chain is broken; Freedom's banner waves on high; List, ye nations, by this token Know that our redemption's nigh. See on yonder distant mountain, Zion's standard wide unfurled; Far above Missouri's fountain, Lo, it waves for all the world. 2. Freedom, peace and full salvation Are the blessings guaranteed– Liberty to ev'ry nation, Ev'ry tongue, and ev'ry creed. Come, ye Christian sects, and pagan, Pope and Protestant and priest; Worshiper of God, or Dagon, Come to freedom's glorious feast. 3. Cease to persecute each other, Join the covenant of peace; Be to all a friend, a brother; This will bring the world release. Lo! the King, the great Messiah, Prince of Peace, shall come to reign; Sound again, ye heavenly choir, Peace on earth, good will to men. Used With Tune: [Lo! the Gentile chain is broken]

Lord of Life and King of Glory

Author: Christian Burke Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 35 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lord of life and King of glory, Who didst deign a child to be, Cradled on a mother’s bosom, Throned upon a mother’s knee: For the children Thou hast given We must answer unto Thee! 2. Since the day the blessèd mother Thee, the world’s Redeemer, bore, Thou hast crowned us with an honor Women never knew before; And that we may bear it meetly We must seek Thine aid the more. 3. Grant us, then, pure hearts and patient, That in all we do or say Little souls our deeds may copy, And be never led astray; Little feet our steps may follow In a safe and narrow way. 4. When our growing sons and daughters Look on life with eager eyes, Grant us then a deeper insight And new powers of sacrifice: Hope to trust them, faith to guide them, Love that nothing good denies. 5. May we keep our holy calling Stainless in its fair renown, That when all the work is over And we lay the burdens down, Then the children Thou hast given Still may be our joy and crown.

For the Dear Ones Parted from Us

Author: Ada R. Greenaway Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. For the dear ones parted from us We would raise our hymns of prayer; By the tender love which watcheth Round Thy children everywhere, Holy Father, Holy Father, Keep them ever in Thy care. 2. Through each trial and temptation, Dangers faced by night and day, By the infinite compassion Pleading for souls that stray, Loving Savior, Loving Savior, Keep them in the narrow way. 3. In their hours of doubt and sorrow, When their faith is sorely tried, By the grace divine which strengthens, Souls for whom the Savior died, Gracious Spirit, Gracious Spirit, Be Thou evermore their Guide. 4. In their joys, by friends surrounded, In their strife, by foes oppressed, May Thy blessing still be with them, May Thy presence give them rest, God Almighty, God Almighty, Father, Son, and Spirit blest.
