For all of mortal breath:
Unite in bonds of servant-hood
All those who strive with death.
2 Make strong their hands and hearts and wills
To drive disease afar,
To strive against the body's ills
And wage your healing war.
3 By healing of the sick and blind,
Christ's mercy they proclaim,
Make known the great physician's mind,
Affirm the Savior's name.
4 Before them set your gracious will,
That they, with heart and soul,
To you may consecrate their skill
And make the suff'rer whole. Languages: English Tune Title: LEUPOLD

Author: William P. Merrill, 1867-1954 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #437 (1978) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Society; Society Lyrics: 1 Not alone for mighty empire
Stretching far o'er land and sea,
Not alone for bounteous harvests,
Do we praise you gratefully.
Standing in the living present,
Memory and hope between,
Lord, we would with deep thanksgiving
Praise you most for things unseen.
2 Not for battleship and fortress,
Not for conquests of the sword,
But for conquests of the spirit
We give thanks to you, O Lord;
For the heritage of freedom,
For the home, the church, the school,
For the open door to justice
In a land the people rule.
3 For the armies of the faithful,
Those who passed and left no name;
For the glory that illumines
Patriot lives of deathless fame;
For our prophets and apostles,
Loyal to the living Word;
For the strong and free in spirit
We give thanks to you, O Lord.
4 God of justice, save the people
From the clash of race and creed;
From the strife of class and faction,
Make our nation free indeed.
Keep its faith in simple justice
Strong as when its life began,
Till it find complete fruition
By the guiding of your hand. Languages: English Tune Title: GENEVA

Lord, you give the great commission
Author: Jeffery W. Rowthorn (b. 1934) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #499 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Nation and Society Lyrics: 1 Lord, you give the great commission:
'Heal the sick and preach the word.'
Lest the Church neglect its mission,
and the gospel go unheard,
help us witness to your purpose
with renewed integrity;
with the Spirit's gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.
2 Lord, you call us to your service:
'In my name baptize and teach.'
That the world may trust your promise,
life abundant meant for each,
give us all new fervour, draw us
closer in community;
with the Spirit's gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.
3 Lord, you make the common holy:
'This my body, this my blood.'
Let us all, for earth's true glory,
daily lift life heavenward,
asking that the world around us
share your children's liberty;
with the Spirit's gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.
4 Lord, you show us love's true measure;
'Father, what they do, forgive.'
Yet we hoard as private treasure
all that you so freely give.
May your care and mercy lead us
to a just society;
with the Spirit's gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.
5 Lord, you bless with words assuring:
'I am with you to the end.'
Faith and hope and love restoring,
may we serve as you intend,
and, amid the cares that claim us,
hold in mind eternity;
with the Spirit's gifts empower us
for the work of ministry. Scripture: Matthew 28:18-20 Languages: English Tune Title: RUSTINGTON

the day of march has come;
henceforth in fields of conquest
your tents will be our home.

your grace has made us strong;
and now, O King eternal,
we lift our battle song.
2 Lead on, O King eternal,
till sin's fierce war shall cease,
and holiness shall whisper
the sweet amen of peace.
For not with swords' loud clashing
or roll of stirring drums–
with deeds of love and mercy
the heavenly kingdom comes.
3 Lead on, O King eternal;
we follow, not with fears,
for gladness breaks like morning
where'er your face appears.
Your cross is lifted o'er us,
we journey in its light;
the crown awaits the conquest;
lead on, O God of might.

Who are these arrayed in white
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #574 (1917) Topics: Heaven Society of; Society of Heaven Lyrics: 1 Who are these arrayed in white,
Brighter than the noon-day sun?
Foremost of the sons of light,
Nearest the eternal throne?
These are they that bore the cross,
Nobly for their Master stood;
Sufferers in His righteous cause,
Followers of the Lamb of God.
2 Out of great distress they came,
Washed their robes by faith below
In the blood of yonder Lamb,
Blood that washes white as snow;
Therefore are they next the throne,
Serve their Maker day and night;
God resides among His own,
God doth in His saints delight.
3 More than conquerors at last,
Here they find their trials o'er;
They have all their sufferings past,
Hunger now and thirst no more;
God shall all their sorrows chase,
All their wants at once remove,
Wipe the tears from every face,
Fill up every soul with love. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR

has justice for its cornerstone,
and shining bright before your face
are truth and love and boundless grace.

whose people know the joyful sound;

the light your face and favor give.

who is our constant help and shield;
all praise and honor we will bring
to you, the Holy One, our King.

God Is Working His Purpose Out
Author: Arthur Campbell Ainger Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #594 (1987) Meter: Irregular Topics: Society/Social Concerns; Society/Social Concerns 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 the church has gone,
by the mouth of many messengers
the call of God has come:
Give ear to me, you continents;
you isles, give ear to me,
that the earth may be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
3 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.
4 All we can do is done in vain
unless God blesses the deed;
vainly we hope for the harvesttide
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.
