O God of earth and altar

Author: Gilbert Keith Chesterton, 1874-1936 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #492b (2000) 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.

Sing to the Lord of Harvest

Author: John S. B. Monsell, 1811-75 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #493 (1982) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord of harvest, Sing songs of love and praise; With joyful hearts and voices Your alleluias raise. By him the rolling seasons In fruitful order move; Sing to the Lord of harvest A joyous song of love. 2 God makes the clouds rain goodness, The deserts bloom and spring, The hills leap up in gladness, The valleys laugh and sing. God fills them with his fullness, All things with large increase; He crowns the year with blessing, With plenty and with peace. 3 Bring to this sacred altar The gifts his goodness gave, The golden sheaves of harvest, The souls Christ died to save. Your hearts lay down before him When at his feet you fall, And with your lives adore him Who gave his life for all.

Findlater, 1823-1907 Hymnal: Christian Worship #493 (2021) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, rejoice, believers, and let your lights appear; the evening is advancing, and darker night is near. The Bridegroom is arising and soon is drawing nigh. Up, pray and watch and wrestle; at midnight comes the cry. 2 The watchers on the mountain proclaim the Bridegroom near; go forth, as he approaches, with alleluias clear. The marriage feast is waiting; the gates wide open stand, Arise, O heirs of glory; the Bridegroom is at hand. 3 You saints, who here in patience your cross and suff'rings bore, shall live and reign forever when sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory the Lamb you shall behold, in triumph lay before him your shining crowns of gold. 4 Our hope and expectation, O Jesus, now appear; arise, O Sun so longed for, above this shadowed sphere. With hearts and hands uplifted we plead, O Lord, to see the day of earth's redemption that sets your people free.

My Lord, I Did Not Choose You

Author: Josiah Conder Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #496 (1987) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 My Lord, I did not choose you, for that could never be; my heart would still refuse you, had you not chosen me. You took the sin that stained me, you cleansed me, made me new; of old you have ordained me, that I should live in you. 2 Unless your grace had called me and taught my opening mind, the world would have enthralled me, to heavenly glories blind. My heart knows none above you; for your rich grace I thirst. I know that if I love you, you must have loved me first.

O Light of Gentile Nations

Author: Johann Franck, 1618-1677; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 Hymnal: Christian Worship #497 (2021) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 O Light of Gentile nations, O Savior from above, drawn by your Spirit's leading, we come with joy and love into your holy temple and wait with rev'rent mind as Simeon once had waited his God and Lord to find. 2 Dear Lord, your servants meet you in ev'ry holy place where you, yourself have promised that we should see your face. Today you still allow us who gather round you here in arms of faith to hold you as did that aged seer. 3 Lord, when life's troubles touch us, you seem to hide your face, and through our tears we often can scarcely sense your grace. Then be our joy and brightness, our cheer in pain and loss, our sun in darkest terror, the glory round our cross. 4 Let us, O Lord, be faithful like Simeon to the end so that his prayer exultant may from our hearts ascend: "O Lord, now let your servant depart in peace, I pray, since I have seen my Savior and here beheld his day."
