God Of Nations, Throned Above

Author: J. H. Kuhlman Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 God of nations, throned above, Mighty Ruler of all men, For Thy mercy and Thy love O accept our thanks again. Richly Thou hast blessed our land, But so often we forget; God of Jacob, by Thy hand Lead our wayward people yet. 2 Kindle still the holy fires, Lord, extend o'er us Thy rod; Not in vain our martyred sires Died for country and for God; May the freedom they have giv'n Sign and symbol ever be Of the liberty from heav'n, Wherewith Christ hath made us free. 3 Lord, exert Thy gracious sway O'er the world, from shore to shore, And to ev'ry nation say: Ye shall learn to war no more! He alone can send release Who for sins was sacrificed; Hence we pray for endless peace In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Topics: National; Processionals and Recessionals National Used With Tune: ST.

Go, Ye Messengers of God

Author: Joshua Marsden Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 122 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Go, ye messengers of God! Like the beams of morning fly, Take the wonder working rod, Wave the banner cross on high; Where the lofty minaret Gleams along the morning skies, Wave it till the crescent set, And the Star of Jacob rise! 2. Go to many a tropic isle In the bosom of the deep, Where the skies forever smile And the oppressed forever weep: O’er their gloomy night of care Pour the living light of Heaven; Chase away their dark despair, Bid them hope to be forgiven! 3. Where the golden gates of day Open on the palmy East, Wide the bleeding cross display, Spread the Gospel’s richest feast: Bear the tidings round the ball, Visit every soil and sea: Preach the cross of Christ to all, Jesus’ love is full and free!

Long Ago In Bethlehem's Plain

Author: H. R. Waite Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Long ago in Bethelehem’s plain Lyrics: 1 Long ago in Bethelehem’s plain, While the trembling shepherd throng Listened to the wondrous strain, Angels sang this holy song: Lo! we bring you news of joy, Peace on earth, good-will to men; Glory be to God on high, Christ the Lord is born—Amen. 2 Long ago the wise men came From the far off Orient way, Guided by the starry flame, Where the Son of Mary lay. Came to hear this news of joy, Peace on earth, good-will to men; Glory be to God on high, Christ the Lord is born—Amen. 3 Bethlehem’s star is still in sight, We rejoice to see its rays: Angels sing again tonight: We repeat the song of praise— Hallelujah! shout for joy! Peace on earth, good-will to men; Glory be to God on high, Christ the Lord is born—Amen. 4 Gates of pearl are open wide, Christ the Lord has passed within, He on earth for sinners died, That they, too, might enter in. Hear! oh, hear the cry of joy, Peace on earth, good-will to men; Glory be to God on high, Christ the Lord is born—Amen. 5 Songs of angels, starry light, Glad evangels from above, Lead us all, this Christmas night, Toward the shining gates above, Whence first came this song of joy, Peace on earth, good-will to men; Glory be to God on high, Christ the Lord is born–Amen.

Lord, Have Mercy When We Pray

Author: Henry H. Milman Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, have mercy when we pray, Strength to seek a better way; When our wakening thoughts begin First to loathe their cherished sin; When the earliest gleam is giv’n, Of the bright but distant Heav’n, Then Thy fostering grace afford, Then, oh, then! Have mercy, Lord. 2 Lord, have mercy when we know First how vain this world below; When its darker thoughts oppress, Doubts perplex, and fears distress; Sigh for death, yet fear it still, From the dread of future ill; When the dim, advancing gloom Tells us that our hour is come. 3 Lord, have mercy when we lie On the restless bed, and sigh— When our weary spirits fail, And our aching brows are pale; When all other hope is gone, When our course is almost done, When is loosed the silver cord— Then, oh, then! have mercy, Lord.
