O God of Every Nation
Author: William W. Reid Jr. Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #282 (2013) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Culture, Community & Nation First Line: O God of every nation Lyrics: 1 O God of every nation,
of every race and land,
redeem the whole creation
with your almighty hand.
Where hate and fear divide us
and bitter threats are hurled,
in love and mercy guide us,
and heal our strife torn world.
2 From search for wealth and power
and scorn of truth and right,
from trust in bombs that shower
destruction through the night,
from pride of race and nation
and blindness to your way,
deliver every nation,
eternal God, we pray!
3 Lord, strengthen those who labor
that all may find release
from fear of rattling saber,
from dread of war's increase.
When hope and courage falter,
Lord, let your voice be heard;
with faith that none can alter,
your servants undergird.
4 Keep bright in us the vision
of days when war shall cease,
when hatred and division
give way to love and peace,
till dawns the morning glorious
when truth and justice reign,
and Christ shall rule victorious
o'er all the world's domain. Scripture: Psalm 47 Languages: English Tune Title: LLANGLOFFAN

O God of Every Nation
Once to Every Man and Nation
Author: James Russell Lowell, 1819-1891 Hymnal: Hymns for a Pilgrim People #455 (2007) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Nation Lyrics: 1 Once to ev'ry man and nation
Comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of truth and falsehood,
For the good or evil side;
Some great cause, God's new messiah,
Off'ring each the bloom or blight,
And the choice goes by forever
'Twixt that darkness and that light.
2 By the light of burning martyrs,
Jesus' bleeding feet I track,
Toiling up new Calv'ries ever
With the cross that turns not back;
New occasions teach new duties,
Time makes ancient good uncouth;
They must upward still and onward,
Who would keep abreast of truth.
3 Though the cause of evil prosper,
Yet the truth alone is strong,
Truth forever on the scaffold,
Wrong forever on the throne.
Yet that scaffold sways the future,
And, behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow
Keeping watch above His own. Scripture: 1 Kings 18:21 Languages: English Tune Title: EBENEZER

Author: James Russell Lowell Hymnal: The Hymnbook #361 (1955) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Nation, The Lyrics: 1 Once to every man and nation
Comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of truth with falsehood,
For the good or evil side;
Some great cause, some new decision,
Offering each the bloom or blight,
And the choice goes by forever
'Twixt that darkness and that light.
2 Then to side with truth is noble,
When we share her wretched crust,
Ere her cause bring fame and profit,
And 'tis prosperous to be just;
Then it is the brave man chooses
While the coward stands aside,
Till the multitude make virtue
Of the faith they had denied.
3 Though the cause of evil prosper,
Yet 'tis truth alone is strong;
Though her portion be the scaffold,
And upon the throne be wrong,
Yet that scaffold sways the future,
And, behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow
Keeping watch above His own.
Amen. Scripture: Joshua 24:15 Tune Title: EBENEZER (TON-Y-BOTEL)
