God is working his purpose out as year succeeds to year
Author: A. C. Ainger, 1841-1919 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #495 (1986) Meter: Irregular Topics: Church and People The Kingdom of God 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 man's foot hath trod,
By the mouth of many messengers goes forth the voice of God,
'Give ear to me, ye continents, ye isles, give ear to me,
That the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.'
3 What can we do to work God's work, to prosper and increase
The brotherhood of all mankind, the reign of the Prince of Peace?
What can we do to hasten the time, the time that shall surely be,
When the earth shall be filled with the lory of God as the waters cover the sea?
4 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.
5 All we can do is nothing worth unless God blesses the deed;
Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide 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. Languages: English Tune Title: BENSON
God is working his purpose out as year succeeds to year
Son of God, eternal Saviour
Author: Somerset Lowry, 1855-1932 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #498 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Church and People The Kingdom of God Lyrics: 1 Son of God, eternal Saviour,
Source of life and truth and grace,
Son of Man, whose birth among us
Hallows all our human race,
Thou, our Head, who, throned in glory,
For thine own dost ever plead,
Fill us with thy love and pity,
Heal our wrongs, and help our need.
2 As thou, Lord, hast lived for others,
So may we for others live;
Freely have thy gifts been granted,
Freely may thy servants give.
Thine the gold and thine the silver,
Thine the wealth of land and sea,
We but stewards of thy bounty,
Held in solemn trust for thee.
3 Come, O Christ, and reign among us,
King of love, and Prince of peace,
Hush the storm of strife and passion,
Bid its cruel discords cease;
By thy patient years of toiling,
By thy silent hours of pain,
Quench our fevered thirst of pleasure,
shame our selfish greed of gain.
4 *Dark the path that lies behind us,
Strewn with wrecks and stained with blood;
But before us gleams the vision
Of the coming brotherhood.
See the Christlike host advancing,
High and lowly, great and small,
Linked in bonds of common service
For the common Lord of all.
5 Son of God, eternal Saviour,
Source of life and truth and grace,
Son of Man, whose birth among us
Hallows all our human race.
Thou who prayedst, thou who willest
That thy people should be one,
Grant, O grant our hope's fruition:
Here on earth thy will be done. Languages: English Tune Title: EVERTON

Jesus, stand among us
Lord of the worlds above
Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #219a (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Evening Lyrics: 1 Lord of the worlds above,
How pleasant and how fair
The dwellings of Thy love,
Thy earthly temples, are!
To Thine abode my heart aspires,
With warm desires to see my God.
2 O happy souls that pray
Where God delights to hear!
O happy men that pay
Their constant service there!
They praise Thee still, and happy they
Who love the way to Zion's hill!
3 They go from strength to strength
Through this dark vale of tears,
Till each o'ercomes at length,
Till each in heaven appears;
O glorious seat! Thou God, our King,
Shalt thither bring our willing feet.
4 God is our sun and shield,
Our light and our defence;
With gifts His hands are filled,
We draw our blessings thence;
He shall bestow upon our race
His saving grace, and glory too
5 The Lord His people loves;
His hand no good withholds
From those His heart approves,
From holy, humble souls;
Thrice happy he, O Lord of hosts,
Whose spirit trust alone in Thee!

Lord of the worlds above
The voice that breathed o'er Eden
Author: J. Keble, 1792-1866 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #265 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Ordinances; The Church and the Kingdom of God Ordinances Lyrics: 1 The voice that breathed o'er Eden
That earliest wedding day,
The primal marriage blessing,
It hath not passed away.
2 Still in the pure espousal
Of Christian man and maid
The Holy Three are with us,
The threefold grace is said.
3 Be present, heavenly Father,
To give away this bride,
As Eve Thou gav'st to Adam
Out of his own pierced side;
4 For dower of blessed children,
For love and faith's sweet sake,
For high mysterious union
Which nought on earth may break;
5 Be present, gracious Saviour,
To join their loving hands,
As Thou didst bind two natures
In Thine eternal bands;
6 Be present, Holy Spirit,
To bless them as they kneel,
As Thou for Christ, the Bridegroom,
The heavenly spouse dost seal.

The voice that breathed o'er Eden
From Greenland's icy mountains
Author: Bp. R. Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #280 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Missions Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountains,
From India's coral strand,
Where Afric's sunny fountains
Roll down their golden sand,
From many as ancient river,
From many a palmy plain,
They call us to deliver
Their land from error's chain.
2 What though the spicy breezes
Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle,
Though every prospect pleases,
And only man is vile!
In vain with lavish kindness
The gifts of God are strewn;
The heathen in his blindness
Bows down to wood and stone.
3 Shall we, whose souls are lighted
With wisdom from on high,
Shall we to men benighted
The lamp of life deny?
Salvation! O salvation!
The joyful sound proclaim,
Till earth's remotest nation
Has learnt Messiah's name.
4 Waft, waft, ye winds, His story,
And you, ye waters, roll,
Till, like a sea of glory,
It spreads from pole to pole;
Till o'er our ransomed nature,
The Lamb for sinners slain,
Redeemer, King, Creator,
In bliss returns to reign.

From Greenland's icy mountains
Our country's voice is pleading
Author: Mrs. M. F. Anderson, 1819- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #282 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Missions Lyrics: 1 Our country's voice is pleading,
Ye men of God, arise!
His providence is leading,
The land before you lies;
Day-gleams are o'er it brightening,
And promise clothes the soil;
Wide fields, for harvest whitening,
Invite the reaper's toil.
2 Go where the waves are breaking
Along the ocean shore,
Christ's precious gospel taking,
More rich than golden ore;
Go to the woodman's dwelling,
Go to the prairie broad,
The wondrous story telling,
The mercy of our God.
3 The love of Christ unfolding,
Speed on from east to west,
Till all, His cross beholding,
In Him are fully blest.
Great Author of salvation,
Haste, haste the glorious day,
When we, a ransomed nation,
Thy scepter shall obey! Languages: English Tune Title: ELLACOMBE

O South, with all thy palms!
From peopled towns and fields between
Uplift the voice of psalms;
Raise, ancient East, the anthem high,
And let the youthful West reply.
2 Lo! in the clouds of heaven appears
God's well-beloved Son;
He brings a train of brighter years;
His kingdom is begun.
He comes, a guilty world to bless
With mercy, truth, and righteousness.
3 O Father, haste the promised hour,
When at His feet shall lie
All rule, authority, and power,
Beneath the ample sky;
When He shall reign from pole to pole,
The Lord of every human soul:
4 When all shall heed the words He said
Amid their daily cares,
And by the loving life He led
Shall seek to pattern theirs;
And He, who conquered death, shall win
The nobler conquest over sin. Languages: English Tune Title: MEIRINGEN
O North, with all thy vales of green!
Saviour, sprinkle many nations
Author: Bp. A. C. Coxe, 1818-1896 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #294 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Missions Lyrics: 1 Saviour, sprinkle many nations,
Fruitful let Thy sorrows be;
By Thy pains and consolations
Draw the Gentiles unto Thee;
Of Thy cross the wondrous story
Be to all the nations told;
Let them see Thee in Thy glory,
And Thy mercy manifold.
2 Far and wide, though all unknowing,
Yearns for Thee each mortal breast;
Human tears for Thee are flowing,
Human hearts in Thee would rest;
Thirsting, as for dews of even,
As the new-mown grass for rain,
Thee they seek, as God of heaven,
Thee, as man for sinners slain.
3 Saviour, lo! the isles are waiting,
Stretched the hand and strained the sight,
For Thy Spirit, new creating,
Love's pure flame, and wisdom's light;
Give the Word and of the preacher
Speed the foot, and touch the tongue,
Till on earth by every creature
Glory to the Lamb be sung. Languages: English Tune Title: SANCTUARY

Redemption by His death I find,
And cleansing through the blood. [Refrain]

And to His saints makes known
The blessed rest from inbred sin,
Through faith in Christ alone. [Refrain]

There shall to you be given
A glorious foretaste, here below,
Of endless life in heaven. [Refrain]

Let all the ransomed sing,
And triumph in the dying hour,
Through Christ, the Lord, our King. [Refrain]
