O Brother Man, Fold to Your Heart
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 149 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Ecumenism; Other Observances Mission; Other Observances Stewardship; Other Observances World Peace First Line: O brother man, fold to thy heart your brother Lyrics: 1 O brother man, fold to your heart your 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 For he whom Jesus loved has truly spoken:
The holier worship which he deigns to bless
Restores the lost, and binds the spirit broken,
And feeds the widow and the fatherless.
3 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.
4 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.
Amen. Scripture: Galatians 6:2 Used With Tune: WELWYN

Their high communion find;
His service is the golden cord
Close-binding all mankind.
3 Join hands, then, brothers of the faith,
Whate'er your race may be!
Who serves my Father as a son
Is surely kin to me.

In him meet South and North;
All Christly souls are one in him
Throughout the whole wide earth.

O God of Earth and Altar
Author: Gilbert K. Chesterton Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 75 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Stewardship 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!
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.
Amen. Used With Tune: LLANGLOFFAN

And make you there an altar!
Fill us with joy and strength to be

In love that cannot falter!

Does possess us; turn and bless us;
Here in sadness
Eye and heart long for your gladness!

With praise, you sinners, fill the sky,
For this his incarnation.
Incarnate God, put forth your power;
Ride on, ride on, great Conqueror,
Till all know your salvation.

Praise be given
Evermore by earth and heaven.

Let me be a fit partaker
Of this blessed food from heaven,
For our good, your glory, given.

As your guest in heaven receive me.

He makes me down to lie
In pastures green; He leadeth me
The quiet waters by.

And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
E'en for his own name's sake.
3 Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale,
Yet will I fear none ill;
For thou art with me; and thy rod
And staff me comfort still.
4 My table thou hast furnished
In presence of my foes;
My head thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup overflows.
5 Goodness and mercy all my life
Shall surely follow me;
And in God's house forevermore
My dwelling place shall be.
