Ye servants of the Lord
Ancient of Days, who sittest throned in glory
Author: William Croswell Doane, 1832 -1913 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 197 hymnals Topics: Church Life and Work City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 Ancient of Days, who sittest throned in glory,
To thee all knees are bent, all voices pray;
Thy love has blessed the wide world’s wondrous story
With light and life since Eden’s dawning day.
2 O Holy Father, who hast led thy children
In all the ages with the fire and cloud
Through seas dry-shod, through weary wastes bewildering:
To thee, in reverent love, our hearts are bowed. A-men.
3 O holy Jesus, Prince of Peace and Saviour,
To thee we owe the peace that still prevails;
Stilling the rude wills of men’s wild behavior
And calming passion’s fierce and stormy gales.
4 O Holy Ghost, the Lord and the Life-giver,
Thine is the quickening power that gives increase;
From thee have flowed, as from a pleasant river,
Our plenty, wealth, prosperity and peace.
5 O Triune God, with heart and voice adoring,
Praise we the goodness that doth crown our days;
Pray we that thou wilt hear us, still imploring
Thy love and favor, kept to us always.
Amen. Used With Tune: ANCIENT OF DAYS
Ancient of Days, who sittest throned in glory
Eternal Ruler of the ceaseless round
Author: John White Chadwick, 1840 - 1904 Appears in 124 hymnals Topics: Church Life and Work City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 Eternal Ruler of the ceaseless round
Of circling planets singing on their way,
Guide of the nations from the night profound
Into the glory of the perfect day:
Rule in our hearts, that we may ever be
Guided and strengthened and upheld by thee.
2 We are of thee, the children of thy love,
The brothers of thy well-beloved Son;
Descend, O Holy Spirit, like a dove,
Into our hearts, that we may be as one;
As one with thee, to whom we ever tend,
As one with him, our brother and our friend. A-men.
3 We would be one in hatred of all wrong,
One in our love of all things sweet and fair,
One with the joy that breaketh into song,
One with the grief that trembleth into prayer,
One in the power that makes the children free
To follow truth, and thus to follow thee.
4 O clothe us with thy heavenly armor, Lord,
Thy trusty shield, thy sword of love divine;
Our inspiration be thy constant word,
We ask no victories that are not thine;
Give or withhold, let pain or pleasure be,
Enough to know that we are serving thee.
Amen. Used With Tune: SONG 1

My country, 'tis of thee
Author: Samuel Francis Smith, 1809 - 95 Appears in 1,945 hymnals Topics: Church Life and Work City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing:
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountain side
Let freedom ring.
2 My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above. A-men.
3 Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song;
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.
4 Our fathers' God, to thee,
Author of liberty,
To thee we sing:
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by thy might,
Great God, our King. A-men.
Amen. Used With Tune: AMERICA

The Lord will come and not be slow
Author: John Milton, 1608 - 74 Appears in 98 hymnals Topics: City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 The Lord will come and not be slow,
His footsteps cannot err;
Before him righteousness shall go,
His royal harbinger.
2 Truth from the earth, like to a flower,
Shall bud and blossom then;
And justice, from her heavenly bower,
Look down on mortal men. A-men.
3 Rise, God, judge thou the earth in might,
This wicked earth redress;
For thou art he who shalt by right
The nations all possess.
4 The nations all whom thou hast made
Shall come, and all shall frame
To bow them low before thee, Lord,
And glorify thy Name.
5 For great thou art, and wonders great
By thy strong hand are done:
Thou in thy everlasting seat
Remainest God alone.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 82:4 Used With Tune: ST. STEPHEN (NEWINGTON)
The Lord will come and not be slow
Thy kingdom come, O God
Author: Lewis Hensley, 1824 - 1905 Appears in 129 hymnals Topics: City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 Thy kingdom come, O God,
Thy rule, O Christ, begin;
Break with thine iron rod
The tyrannies of sin.
2 Where is thy reign of peace
And purity and love?
When shall all hatred cease,
As in the realms above? A-men.
3 When comes the promised time
That war shall be no more,
And lust, oppression, crime,
Shall flee thy face before?
4 We pray thee, Lord, arise,
And come in thy great might;
Revive our longing eyes,
Which languish for thy sight.
5 Men scorn thy sacred Name,
And wolves devour thy fold;
By many deeds of shame
We learn that love grows cold.
6 O'er heathen lands afar
Thick darkness broodeth yet;
Arise, O Morning Star,
Arise, and never set!
Amen. Used With Tune: ST. CECILIA
Thy kingdom come, O God
Thy kingdom come! on bended knee
Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer, 1840 - 1929 Appears in 102 hymnals Topics: City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 Thy kingdom come! on bended knee
The passing ages pray;
And faithful souls have yearned to see
On earth that kingdom's day.
2 But the slow watches of the night
Not less to God belong;
And for the everlasting right
The silent stars are strong.
3 And lo, already on the hills
The flags of dawn appear;
Gird up your loins, ye prophet souls,
Proclaim the day is near:
4 The day in whose clear-shining light
All wrong shall stand revealed,
When justice shall be throned in might,
And every hurt be healed;
5 When knowledge, hand in hand with peace,
Shall walk the earth abroad;
The day of perfect righteousness,
The promised day of God. Used With Tune: IRISH

Lord of the worlds above
Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 501 hymnals Topics: Zion, City of God Lyrics: 1 Lord of the worlds above,
How pleasant and how fair
The dwellings of Thy love,
Thy earthly temples, are!
To Thine abode my heart aspires,
With warm desires to see my God.
2 O happy souls that pray
Where God delights to hear!
O happy men that pay
Their constant service there!
They praise Thee still, and happy they
Who love the way to Zion's hill!
3 They go from strength to strength
Through this dark vale of tears,
Till each o'ercomes at length,
Till each in heaven appears;
O glorious seat! Thou God, our King,
Shalt thither bring our willing feet.
4 God is our sun and shield,
Our light and our defence;
With gifts His hands are filled,
We draw our blessings thence;
He shall bestow upon our race
His saving grace, and glory too
5 The Lord His people loves;
His hand no good withholds
From those His heart approves,
From holy, humble souls;
Thrice happy he, O Lord of hosts,
Whose spirit trust alone in Thee!

Lord of the worlds above
