Great God, we sing that mighty hand
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702 - 51 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #533 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Great God, we sing that mighty hand
By which supported still we stand;
The opening year thy mercy shows,
Let mercy crown it till it close.
2 By day, by night, at home, abroad,
Still are we guarded by our God,
By his incessant bounty fed,
By his unerring counsel led. A-men.
3 With grateful hearts the past we own;
The future, all to us unknown,
We to thy guardian care commit,
And, peaceful, leave before thy feet.
4 In scenes exalted or depressed
Thou art our joy, and thou our Rest;
Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise,
Adored through all our changing days.
Amen.

Great God, we sing that mighty hand
For thee, O dear, dear country
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818 - 66; Bernard of Cluny, XII cent. Hymnal: SBHC1958 #534a (1958) Lyrics: 1 For thee, O dear, dear country,
Mine eyes their vigils keep;
For very love, beholding
Thy happy name, they weep;
2 The mention of thy glory
Is unction to the breast,
And medicine in sickness,
And love, and life, and rest.
3 O one, O only mansion,
O Paradise of joy!
Where tears are ever banished,
And smiles have no alloy;
4 The Cross is all thy splendor,
The Crucified thy praise;
His laud and benediction
Thy ransomed people raise. A-men.
5 Thou hast no shore, fair ocean;
Thou hast no time, bright day;
Dear fountain of refreshment
To pilgrims far away!
6 Upon the Rock of Ages
They raise thy holy tower;
Thine is the victor's laurel,
And thine the golden dower.
7 O sweet and blessèd country,
The home of God's elect;
O sweet and blessèd country,
That eager hearts expect!
8 Jesus, in mercy bring us,
To that dear land of rest,
Who art, with God the Father
And Spirit, ever blest.
Amen.

For thee, O dear, dear country
Not always on the mount may we
Author: Frederick L. Hosmer, 1840 - 1929 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #535a (1958) Lyrics: 1 Not always on the mount may we
Rapt in the heavenly vision be;
The shores of thought and feeling know
The Spirit’s tidal ebb and flow.
2 'Lord, it is good abiding here,'
We cry, the heavenly presence near;
The vision vanishes, our eyes
Are lifted into vacant skies.
3 Yet hath one such exalted hour
Upon the soul redeeming power,
And its strength through after days
We travel our appointed ways;
4 Till all the lowly vale grows bright,
Transfigured in remembered light,
And in untiring souls we bear
The freshness of the upper air.
5 The mount for vision: but below
The paths of daily duty go,
And nobler life therein shall own
The pattern on the mountain shown.

Lord, as a pilgrim on earth I roam

Lord, as a pilgrim on earth I roam
O Master, let me walk with thee
Author: Washington Gladden, 1836 - 1918 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #537 (1958) Lyrics: 1 O Master, let me walk with thee
In lowly paths of service free;
Tell me thy secret; help me bear
The strain of toil, the fret of care.
2 Help me the slow of heart to move
By some clear, winning word of love;
Teach me the wayward feet to stay,
And guide them in the homeward way. A-men.
3 Teach me thy patience; still with thee
In closer, dearer company,
In work that keeps faith sweet and strong,
In trust that triumphs over wrong;
4 In hope that sends a shining ray
Far down the future's broadening way,
In peace that only thou canst give;
With thee, O Master, let me live.

O Master, let me walk with thee
Lord, speak to me, that I may speak
Author: Frances Ridley Havergal, 1836 - 79 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #538 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Lord, speak to me, that I may speak
In living echoes of thy tone;
As thou hast sought, so let me seek
Thy erring children lost and lone.
2 O lead me, Lord, that I may lead
The wandering and the wavering feet;
O feed me, Lord, that I may feed
Thy hungering ones with manna sweet. A-men.
3 O strengthen me, that while I stand
Firm on the Rock, and strong in thee,
I may stretch out a loving hand
To wrestlers with the troubled sea.
4 O teach me, Lord, that I may teach
The precious things thou dost impart;
And wing my words, that they may reach
The hidden depths of many a heart.
5 O fill me with thy fullness, Lord,
Until my very heart o'erflow
In kindling thought and glowing word
Thy love to tell, thy praise to show.
Amen.

Lord, speak to me, that I may speak
O brother man, fold to thy heart thy brother!
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807 - 92 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #539 (1958) Lyrics: 1 O brother man, fold to thy heart thy brother!
Where pity dwells, the peace of God is there;
To worship rightly is to love each other,
Each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer.
2 Follow with reverent steps the great example
Of him whose holy work was doing good;
So shall the wide earth seem our Father's temple,
Each loving life a psalm of gratitude.
3 Then shall all shackles fall; the stormy clangor
Of wild war-music o'er the earth shall cease;
Love shall tread out the baleful fire of anger,
And in its ashes plant the tree of peace.

O brother man, fold to thy heart thy brother!
Believing fathers oft have told
Author: Archibald Hamilton Charteris, 1835 - 1908 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #540 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Believing fathers oft have told
What things by God were done,
When faithful men in days of old
Their lifelong battle won:
True brothers all, of one accord,
We hold one faith, we serve one Lord.
2 Amid the world’s confused noise,
Where we but darkly see,
The Christ appeals, with sweet, clear voice:
'My brothers, follow me,
Like brothers true, of one accord,
To hold one faith, to serve one Lord.'
3 His Church our shelter, he our guide,
Our strength his healing Cross,
We range ourselves upon his side,
Where none can suffer loss.
Like brothers true, of one accord,
We hold one faith and serve one Lord. A-men.
4 So by thy Spirit mold us, Lord;
Inspire our hearts to pray;
Our hungry souls feed with thy Word,
Teach all of us to say:
'True brothers all, of one accord,
We hold one faith, we serve one Lord.'
5 We fain would serve thy Church e'en now,
With hearts from self set free,
Striving to make thy kingdom grow,
O God, so may it be,
That, brothers true, with one accord,
We hold the faith and serve the Lord!
Amen.
