Eternal Ruler of the Ceaseless Round
Author: John W. Chadwick Hymnal: The Worshipbook #358 (1972) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Topics: Other Observances Mission; Other Observances World Communion; Other Observances World Peace Lyrics: 1 Eternal Ruler of the ceaseless round
Of circling planets singing on their way,
Guide of the nations from the night profound
Into the glory of the perfect day,
Rule in our hearts, that we may ever be
Guided and strengthened and upheld by thee.
2 We are of thee, the children of thy love,
The brothers of thy well-beloved Son;
Descend, O Holy Spirit, like a dove
Into our hearts, that we may be as one:
As one with thee, to whom we ever tend;
As one with him our brother and our friend.
3 We would be one in hatred of all wrong,
One in our love of all things sweet and fair,
One with the joy that breaketh into song,
One with the grief that trembleth into prayer,
One in the power that makes thy children free
To follow truth, and thus to follow thee.
4 O clothe us with thy heavenly armor, Lord,
Thy trusty shield, thy sword of love divine;
Our inspiration be thy constant word;
We ask no victories that are not thine;
Give or withhold, let pain or pleasure be,
Enough to know that we are serving thee.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 40:10-11 Tune Title: SONG 1

God Is Working His Purpose Out
Author: Arthur Campbell Ainger Hymnal: The Worshipbook #389 (1972) Meter: Irregular Topics: Other Observances Ecumenism; Other Observances Mission; Other Observances World Peace 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 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 glory of God
As the waters cover the sea.
3 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.
4 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.
Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 1:9-11 Tune Title: PURPOSE

You calmly faced the angry sea,
The fierce unmasked hypocrisy,
The traitor's kiss, the rabble's hiss,
The awful death upon the tree,
[Refrain:]
All glory be to God.

Oppressors writhed beneath your scorn;
The weak, despised, depraved, forlorn,
You taught to hope and know the scope
Of love divine for all who mourn: [Refrain]

To Mammon's power you never bowed,
But taught how men with wealth endowed
In meekness' school might learn to rule
The demon that enslaves the proud: [Refrain]
4 Lord of the poor, when earth you trod,
The lot you chose was hard and poor;
You taught us hardness to endure,
And so to gain through hurt and pain
The wealth that lasts forevermore: [Refrain]

The life you led was perfect, free,
Defiant of all tyranny:
Now give us grace that we may face
Our foes with like temerity, [Refrain]

O Holy City, Seen of John
Author: Walter Russell Bowie Hymnal: The Worshipbook #505 (1972) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Topics: Other Observances Stewardship; Other Observances World Communion; Other Observances World Peace Lyrics: 1 O holy city, seen of John,
Where Christ, the Lamb, does reign,
Within whose four-square walls shall come
No night, nor need, nor pain,
And where the tears are wiped from eyes
That shall not weep again!
2 O shame to us who rest content
While lust and greed for gain
In street and shop and tenement
Wring gold from human pain,
And bitter lips in blind despair
Cry, "Christ has died in vain"!
3 Give us, O God, the strength to build
The city that has stood
Too long a dream, whose laws are love,
Whose ways are brotherhood,
And where the sun that shines becomes
God's grace for human good.
4 Already in the mind of God
That city rises fair.
Lo, how its splendor challenges
The souls that greatly dare,
And bids us seize the whole of life
And build its glory there.
Amen. Scripture: Revelation 21:2 Tune Title: MORNING SONG
O Holy City, Seen of John
