Lord, while for all mankind we pray

Author: John Wreford, 1800-81 Hymnal: NEH1985 #491 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord, while for all mankind we pray Of every clime and coast, O hear us for our native land, The land we love the most. 2 O guard our shores from every foe; With peace our borders bless; With prosperous times our cities crown, Our fields with plenteousness. 3 Unite us in the sacred love Of knowledge, truth, and thee; And let our hills and valleys shout The songs of liberty. 4 Lord of the nations, thus to thee Our country we commend; Be thou her refuge and her trust, Her everlasting Friend.

O God of earth and altar

Author: G. K. Chesterton, 1874-1936 Hymnal: NEH1985 #492 (1986) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 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 honour and the sword, From sleep and from damnation, Deliver us, good Lord! 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.

God is working his purpose out as year succeeds to year

Author: A. C. Ainger, 1841-1919 Hymnal: NEH1985 #495 (1986) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 God is working his purpose out as year succeeds to year, God is working his purpose out and the time is drawing near; Nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 2 From utmost east to utmost west where'er man's foot hath trod, By the mouth of many messengers goes forth the voice of God, 'Give ear to me, ye continents, ye isles, give ear to me, That the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.' 3 What can we do to work God's work, to prosper and increase The brotherhood of all mankind, the reign of the Prince of Peace? What can we do to hasten the time, the time that shall surely be, When the earth shall be filled with the lory of God as the waters cover the sea? 4 March we forth in the strength of God with the banner of Christ unfurled, That the light of the glorious gospel of truth may shine throughout the world; Fight we the fight with sorrow and sin, to set their captives free, That the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 5 All we can do is nothing worth unless God blesses the deed; Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide till God gives life to the seed; Yet nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.

Son of God, eternal Saviour

Author: Somerset Lowry, 1855-1932 Hymnal: NEH1985 #498 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Son of God, eternal Saviour, Source of life and truth and grace, Son of Man, whose birth among us Hallows all our human race, Thou, our Head, who, throned in glory, For thine own dost ever plead, Fill us with thy love and pity, Heal our wrongs, and help our need. 2 As thou, Lord, hast lived for others, So may we for others live; Freely have thy gifts been granted, Freely may thy servants give. Thine the gold and thine the silver, Thine the wealth of land and sea, We but stewards of thy bounty, Held in solemn trust for thee. 3 Come, O Christ, and reign among us, King of love, and Prince of peace, Hush the storm of strife and passion, Bid its cruel discords cease; By thy patient years of toiling, By thy silent hours of pain, Quench our fevered thirst of pleasure, shame our selfish greed of gain. 4 *Dark the path that lies behind us, Strewn with wrecks and stained with blood; But before us gleams the vision Of the coming brotherhood. See the Christlike host advancing, High and lowly, great and small, Linked in bonds of common service For the common Lord of all. 5 Son of God, eternal Saviour, Source of life and truth and grace, Son of Man, whose birth among us Hallows all our human race. Thou who prayedst, thou who willest That thy people should be one, Grant, O grant our hope's fruition: Here on earth thy will be done.

When shall all hatred cease, As in the realms above? 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 O'er lands both near and far Thick darkness broodeth yet: Arise, O morning Star, Arise, and never set.
