O God, our help in ages past
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #746 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Other Saints and Festivals Remembrance Sunday; Remembrance Sunday Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home;
2 Under the shadow of thy throne
thy saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is thine arm alone,
and our defence is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received her frame,
from everlasting thou art God,
to endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in thy sight
are like an evening gone,
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
bears all its sons away;
they fly forgotten, as a dream
dies at the opening day.
6 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
be thou our guard while troubles last,
and our eternal home. Scripture: Psalm 90 Languages: English Tune Title: ST ANNE

Author: Cecil Arthur Spring-Rice (1859-1918) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #579 (2013) Meter: 13.13.13.13.13.13 Topics: Other Saints and Festivals Remembrance Sunday; Remembrance Sunday Lyrics: 1 I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love:
the love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
that lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
the love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
the love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.
2 And there's another country I've heard of long ago,
most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
we may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
and soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
and her ways are ways of gentleness and all her paths are peace. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:7 Languages: English Tune Title: THAXTED

Eternal God, before whose face we stand
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #577 (2013) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Topics: Remembrance Sunday Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, before whose face we stand,
your earthly children, fashioned by your hand,
hear and behold us, for to you alone
all hearts are open, all our longings known:
so for our world and for ourselves we pray
the gift of peace, O Lord, in this our day.
2 We come with grief, with thankfulness and pride,
to hold in honour those who served and died;
we bring our hurt, our loneliness and loss,
to him who hung forsaken on the cross;
who, for our peace, our pains and sorrows bore,
and with the Father lives for evermore.
3 O Prince of Peace, who gave for us your life,
look down in pity on our sin and strife.
May this remembrance move our hearts to build
a peace enduring, and a hope fulfilled,
when every flag of tyranny is furled
and wars at last shall cease in all the world.
4 From earth's long tale of suffering here below
we pray the fragile flower of peace may grow,
till cloud and darkness vanish from our skies
to see the Sun of Righteousness arise.
When night is past and peace shall banish pain,
all shall be well, in God's eternal reign. Scripture: Micah 4:2-3 Languages: English Tune Title: UNDE ET MEMORES

all may come and go in peace.
Show us how through care and goodness
fear will die and hope increase.

pride of status, race or schooling,
dogmas that obscure your plan.
In our common quest for justice
may we hallow life’s brief span.

your great name on humankind;
for our growing in your likeness,

Psalm 124
Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #84 (2005) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10 Topics: Remembrance Sunday First Line: Now Israel may say, and that truly, Lyrics: 1 Now Israel may say, and that truly,
if that the Lord had not our cause maintained;
if that the Lord had not our right sustained,
when cruel men against us furiously
rose up in wrath, to make of us their prey;
2 Then certainly they had devoured us all,
and swallowed quick, for aught that we could deem;
such was their rage, as we might well esteem.
And as fierce floods before them all things drown,
so had they brought our soul to death quite down.
3 The raging streams, with their proud swelling waves,
had then our soul o'erwhelmèd in the deep.
But blest be God, who doth us safely keep,
and hath not given us for a living prey
unto their teeth, and bloody cruelty.
4 Even as a bird out of the fowler's snare
escapes away, so is our soul set free:
broke are their nets, and thus escapèd we.
Therefore our help is in the Lord's great name,
who heaven and earth by his great power did frame. Scripture: Psalm 124 Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 124TH

Judge eternal, throned in splendour
Author: Henry Scott Holland, 1847-1918 Hymnal: Common Praise #356 (2000) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Remembrance Sunday Lyrics: 1 Judge eternal, throned in splendour,
Lord of lords and King of kings,
with thy living fire of judgment
purge this land 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 endeavor;
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.

bow down and hear our cry,
our earthly rulers falter,
our people drift and die;
the walls of gold entomb us,
the swords of scorn divide,
take not thy thunder from us,
but take away our pride.
2 From all that terror teaches,
from lies of tongue and pen,
from all the easy speeches
that comfort cruel men,
from sale and profanation
of honour and the sword,
from sleep and from damnation,
deliver us, good Lord!
3 Tie in a living tether
the prince and priest and thrall,
bind all our lives together,
smite us and save us all;
in ire and exultation
aflame with faith, and free,
lift up a living nation,
a single sword to thee. Scripture: 1 Samuel 15:10-11 Languages: English Tune Title: KING'S LYNN
