O God of earth and altar
Author: Gilbert Keith Chesterton, 1874-1936 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #344a (1958) Lyrics: 1 O God of earth and altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die;
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
But take away our pride.
2 From all that terror teaches,
From lies of tongue and pen,
From all the easy speeches
That comfort cruel men,
From sale and profanation
Of honor, and the sword,
From sleep and from damnation,
Deliver us, good Lord! A-men.
3 Tie in a living tether
The prince and priest and thrall,
Bind all our lives together,
Smite us and save us all;
In ire and exultation,
Aflame with faith, and free,
Lift up a living nation,
A single sword to thee.

Rejoice! Rejoice, Believers
Author: Laurentius Laurenti; Sarah Borthwick Findlater Hymnal: Glory to God #362 (2013) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Rejoice! Rejoice, believers,
and let your lights appear;
the evening is advancing
and darker night is near.
The Bridegroom is arising
and soon he will draw nigh.
Up, watch with expectation;
at midnight comes the cry.
2 See that your lamps are burning;
replenish them with oil;
look now for your salvation,
the end of sin and toil.
The marriage feast is waiting;
the gates wide open stand;
arise, O heirs of glory;
the Bridegroom is at hand!
3 Our hope and expectation,
O Jesus, now appear;
arise, thou Sun so longed for,
above this shadowed sphere!
With hearts and hands uplifted,
we plead, O Lord, to see
the day of earth’s redemption,
and ever be with thee!

O Lord of Hosts, How Lovely
Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #371 (1990) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O Lord of Hosts, how lovely
the place where thou dost dwell!
Thy tabernacles holy
in pleasantness excel.
My soul is longing, fainting,
Jehovah's courts to see;
my heart and flesh are crying,
O living God, for thee.
2 Blest who thy house inhabit,
they ever give thee praise;
blest all whom thou dost strengthen,
who love the sacred ways.
So they from strength unwearied
go forward unto strength,
till they appear in Zion
before the Lord at length.
3 O hear, Lord God of Jacob,
to me an answer yield;
the face of thine anointed,
behold, O God, our shield.
One day excels a thousand
if spent thy courts within;
I'll choose thy threshold, rather
than dwell in tents of sin.
4 Our sun and shield, Jehovah,
will grace and glory give;
no good will he deny them
that uprightly do live.
O God of hosts, Jehovah,
how blest is ev'ryone
who confidence reposes
on thee, O Lord, alone.

"Come unto me, ye weary
Author: William C. Dix Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #405 (1961) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 "Come unto me, ye weary,
And I will give you rest."
O blessed voice of Jesus
Which comes to hearts oppressed!
It tells of benediction,
Of pardon, grace, and peace,
Of joy that hath no ending,
Of love which cannot cease.
2 "Come unto me, dear children,
And I will give you light."
O loving voice of Jesus
Which comes to cheer the night!
Our hearts were filled with sadness,
And we had lost our way;
But morning brings us gladness,
And songs the break of day.
3 "Come unto me, ye fainting,
And I will give you life."
O peaceful voice of Jesus
Which comes to end our strife!
The foe is stern and eager,
The fight is fierce and long;
But thou hast made us mighty,
And stronger than the strong.
4 "And whosoever cometh
I will not cast him out."
O patient love of Jesus
Which drives away our doubt;
Which calls us, very sinners,
Unworthy though we be
Of love so free and boundless,
To come, dear Lord, to thee!
