O God of Every Nation
Author: William W. Reid, Jr. Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #422 (1990) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: God in Society 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 Languages: English Tune Title: LLANGLOFFAN

The Star-Spangled Banner
Author: Francis Scott Key Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #423 (1990) Meter: Irregular Topics: God in Society National Life First Line: O say, can you see Lyrics: 1 O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
whose broad stripes and bright starst through the perilous fight,
o'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
2 O thus be it ever, when free men shall stand
between their loved homes and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
and this be our motto: "In God is our trust!"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Your Hands, O Lord, in Days of Old
Author: Edward H. Plumptre Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #409 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: God in Society Sickness and Healing Lyrics: 1 Your hands, O Lord, in days of old
were strong to heal and save;
they triumphed over pain and death,
o'er darkness and the grave.
To you they went, the blind, the mute,
the palsied and the lame,
the leper set apart and shunned,
the sick and those in shame.
2 And then your touch brought life and health,
gave speech and strength and sight;
and youth renewed, with health restored,
claimed you, the Lord of light.
And so, O Lord, be near to bless,
almighty now as then,
in every street, in every home,
in every troubled friend.
3 O be our mighty healer still,
O Lord of life and death;
restore and strengthen, soothe and bless
with your almighty breath.
On hands that work and eyes that see,
your healing wisdom pour,
that whole and sick and weak and strong
may praise you evermore. Scripture: Matthew 11:5 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MICHAEL'S
Your Hands, O Lord, in Days of Old
How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #395 (1990) Meter: 8.6.7.7.6.6 Topics: God in Society Work and Leisure Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord,
when once we heed your call:
to live according to your word,
and daily learn, refreshed, restored
that you are Lord of all,
and will not let us fall.
2 But if, forgetful, we should find
your yoke is hard to bear,
if worldly pressures fray the mind,
and love itself cannot unwind
its tangled skein of care:
our inward life repair.
3 We marvel how your saints become
in hindrances more sure;
whose joyful virtues put to shame
the casual way we wear your name,
and by our faults obscure
your power to cleanse and cure.
4 In what you give us, Lord, to do,
together or alone,
in old routines or ventures new,
may we not cease to look to you,
the cross you hung upon--
all you endeavored done. Scripture: Matthew 11:3 Languages: English Tune Title: REPTON
How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Lord of All Leisure Time
Author: Bryan Jeffery Leech Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #398 (1990) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: God in Society Work and Leisure Lyrics: 1 Lord of all leisure time,
we set a time apart
within the rhythm of each week
to cultivate the heart;
for you have said, "Be still, and in my presence
find the ecstasy of worshiping
with soul and strength and mind."
2 Lord of all leisure time,
we give this time to you,
that we may choose relaxing ways
our spirits to renew,
for in your providence you order us to rest.
Teach us to balance work with play
that we may live unstressed.
3 Lord of all leisure time,
be Lord of all we do.
May tasteless and unholy things
not lure our hearts from you.
O give us sense to choose delights
that lead to joy,
for you have clearly marked as sin
all pleasures that destroy.
4 Lord of all leisure time,
of all that's true and good,
who formed the best within your world
that we may be renewed;
help us to draw from you,
as from a parent's hand,
a new supply of freshening grace
for this the day you've planned. Scripture: Mark 6:31 Languages: English Tune Title: LEISURE TIME

Heal Us, Immanuel, Hear Our Prayer
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #411 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: God in Society Sickness and Healing Lyrics: 1 Heal us, Emmanuel, hear our prayer;
we wait to feel your touch;
deep-wounded souls to you repair,
and, Savior, we are such.
2 Our faith is feeble, we confess;
we faintly trust your word;
but will you pity us the less?
Be that far from you, Lord!
3 Remember him who once applied
with trembling for relief;
"Lord, I believe," with tears he cried;
"O help my unbelief!"
4 She, too, who touched you in the press,
and healing virtue stole,
was answered, "Daughter, go in peace:
your faith hath made you whole."
5 Like her, with hopes and fears we come
to touch you if we may;
O send us not despairing home;
send none unhealed away.

our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home!

thy saints have dwelt secure;

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,

be thou our guard while troubles last,
