Lord of our life, and God of our salvation

Author: Matthäus A. Von Löwenstern; Philip Pusey Hymnal: The Hymnal #469 (1916) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Topics: The Church Militant Lyrics: Lord of our life, and God of our salvation, Star of our night, and hope of every nation, Hear and receive thy Church's supplication, Lord God Almighty. See round thine ark the hungry billows curling! See how thy foes their banners are unfurling! Lord, while their darts envenomed they are hurling, Thou canst preserve us. 427 Lord, thou canst help when earthly armour faileth; Lord, thou canst save when deadly sin assaileth; Lord, o'er thy rock nor death nor hell prevaileth: Grant us thy peace, Lord! Peace, in our hearts, our evil thoughts assuaging, Peace, in thy Church, where brothers are engaging, Peace, when the world its busy war is waging; Calm thy foes raging! Grant us thy help till backward they are driven; Grant them thy truth, that they may be forgiven; Grant peace on earth, and after we have striven, Peace in thy heaven. Amen.

City of God, how broad and far

Author: Samuel Johnson Hymnal: The Hymnal #470 (1916) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Church Militant Lyrics: City of God, how broad and far Outspread thy walls sublime! The true thy chartered freemen are Of every age and clime. One holy Church, one army strong, One steadfast high intent, One working band, one harvest song, One King omnipotent! 428 How purely hath thy speech come down From man's primeval youth; How grandly hath thine empire grown Of freedom, love, and truth! How gleam thy watchfires through the night With never-fainting ray! How rise thy towers, serene and bright, To meet the dawning day! In vain the surge's angry shock, In vain the drifting sands: Unharmed upon the eternal Rock The eternal city stands. Languages: English Tune Title: BEULAH

O where are kings and empires now

Author: Arthur Cleveland Coxe Hymnal: The Hymnal #471 (1916) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Church Militant Lyrics: O where are kings and empires now Of old, that went and came? But, Lord, thy Church is praying yet, A thousand years the same. We mark her goodly battlements, And her foundations strong; We hear within the solemn voice Of her unending song. For not like kingdoms of the world Thy holy Church, O God, Though earthquake shocks are threatening her, And tempests are abroad; Unshaken as eternal hills, Immovable she stands, A mountain that shall fill the earth, A house not made by hands.

Triumphant Sion, lift thy head

Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: The Hymnal #472 (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Church Militant Lyrics: Triumphant Sion, lift thy head From dust, and darkness, and the dead! Though humbled long, awake at length, And gird thee with thy Savior's strength. Put all thy beauteous garments on, And let thine excellence be known: Decked in the robes of righteousness, The world thy glories shall confess. No more shall foes unclean invade, And fill thy hallowed walls with dread; No more shall hell's insulting host Their victory and thy sorrows boast. God from on high has heard thy prayer, His hand thy ruins shall repair: Nor will thy watchful Monarch cease To guard thee in eternal peace. Languages: English Tune Title: WAREHAM
