'Thy kingdom come!'– on bended knee
Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer (1840-1929) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #473 (2008) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Justice and Peace Lyrics: 1 'Thy kingdom come!'– on bended knee
the passing ages pray;
and faithful souls have yearned to see
on earth that kingdom's day.
2 But the slow watches of the night
not less to God belong;
and for the everlasting right
the silent stars are strong.
3 And lo, already on the hills
the flags of dawn appear;
gird up your loins, ye prophet souls,
proclaim the day is near:
4 The day in whose clear-shining light
all wrong shall stand revealed,
when justice shall be throned with might,
and every heart be healed:
5 When knowledge, hand in hand with peace,
shall walk the earth abroad,
the day of perfect righteousness,
the promised day of God. Scripture: 2 Peter 1:19 Languages: English Tune Title: IRISH

For the Healing of the Nations
Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #576 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Justice and Peace Lyrics: 1 For the healing of the nations,
God, we pray with one accord;
for a just and equal sharing
of the things that earth affords;
to a life of love in action
help us rise and pledge our word.
2 Lead us forward into freedom;
from despair your world release,
that, redeemed from war and hatred,
all may come and go in peace.
Show us how through care and goodness
fear will die and hope increase.
3 All that kills abundant living,
let it from the earth be banned;
pride of status, race, or schooling,
dogmas that obscure your plan.
In our common quest for justice
may we hallow life's brief span.
4 You, Creator God, have written
your great name on humankind;
for our growing in your likeness
bring the life of Christ to mind,
that by our response and service
earth its destiny may find. Languages: English Tune Title: WESTMINSTER ABBEY

Judge eternal, throned in splendour
Author: Henry Scott Holland (1847-1918) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #580 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Justice and Peace Lyrics: 1 Judge eternal, throned in splendour,
Lord of lords and King of kings,
with thy living fire of judgment
purge this realm of bitter things:
solace all its wide dominion
with the healing of thy wings.
2 Still the weary folk are pining
for the hour that brings release:
and the city's crowded clangour
cries aloud for sin to cease;
and the homesteads and the woodlands
plead in silence for their peace.
3 Crown, O Lord, thine own endeavour;
cleave our darkness with thy sword;
cheer the faint and feed the hungry
with the richness of thy word;
cleanse the body of this nation
through the glory of the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 82 Languages: English Tune Title: RHUDDLAN
