Thy Kingdom Come, O Lord
Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer Hymnal: The Hymnbook #488 (1955) Meter: 6.6.6.6 Topics: Peace on Earth; Kingdom of God on Earth, The World Friendship and Peace Lyrics: 1 Thy Kingdom come, O Lord,
Wide-circling as the sun;
Fulfill of old Thy word
And make the nations one:
2 One in the bond of peace,
The service glad and free
Of truth and righteousness,
Of love and equity.
3 Speed, speed the longed-for time
Foretold by raptured seers—
The prophecy sublime,
The hope of all the years—
4 Till rise at last, to span
Its firm foundations broad,
The commonwealth of man,
The city of our God.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 72:7-8 Tune Title: ST. CECELIA

Heralds of Christ, Who Bear the King's Commands
Author: Laura S. Copenhaver (1868-1940) Hymnal: The Hymnbook #498 (1955) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Peace on Earth First Line: Heralds of Christ, who bear the King's command Lyrics: 1 Heralds of Christ, who bear the King's commands,
Immortal tidings in your mortal hands,
Pass on and carry swift the news ye bring:
Make straight, make straight the highway of the King.
2 Through desert ways, dark fen, and deep morass,
Through jungles, sluggish seas, and mountain pass,
Build ye the road, and falter not, nor stay;
Prepare across the earth the King's highway.
3 Where once the crooked trail in darkness wound
Let marching feet and joyous song resound,
Where burn the funeral pyres, and censers swing,
Make straight, make straight the highway of the King.
4 Lord, give us faith and strength the road to build,
To see the promise of the day fulfilled,
When war shall be no more and strife shall cease
Upon the highway of the Prince of Peace.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 40:3-5 Tune Title: NATIONAL HYMN

For the Healing of the Nations
Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #668 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Topics: Peace on Earth Lyrics: 1 For the healing of the nations,
Lord, 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,
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,
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,
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,
earth its destiny may find. Languages: English Tune Title: CWM RHONDDA

Author: J. Cawood, 1775-1852 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #117 (1917) Topics: Peace On Earth Lyrics: 1 Hark! what means those holy voices,
Sweetly sounding through the skies?
Lo! the angelic host rejoices;
Heavenly hallelujahs rise.

Which they chant in hymns of joy:
"Glory in the highest, glory,
Glory be to God most high!"
3 Peace on earth, good will from heaven,
Reaching far as man is found;
Man redeemed, his sins forgiven,
Loud our golden harps shall sound.
4 Christ is born, the great Anointed;
Heaven and earth His praises sing;
O receive whom God appointed
For your Prophet, Priest, and King.
5 Hasten, mortals, to adore Him;
Learn His name, and taste His joy;
Till in heaven ye sing before Him,
"Glory be to God most high!"
6 Let us learn the wondrous story
Of our great Redeemer's birth;
Spread the brightness of His glory
Till it cover all the earth. Languages: English Tune Title: UNSER HERRSCHER

Father Eternal, Ruler of Creation
Author: Laurence Housman Hymnal: The Hymnbook #486 (1955) Meter: 11.10.11.10.10 Topics: Peace on Earth; Kingdom of God on Earth, The World Friendship and Peace Lyrics: 1 Father eternal, Ruler of creation,
Spirit of life, which moved ere form was made;
Through the thick darkness covering every nation,
Light to man's blindness, O be Thou our aid:
Thy Kingdom come, O Lord, Thy will be done.
2 Races and peoples, lo! we stand divided,
And sharing not our griefs, no joy can share;
By wars and tumults Love is mocked, derided,
His conquering cross no kingdom wills to bear:
Thy Kingdom come, O Lord, Thy will be done.
3 Envious of heart, blind-eyed, with tongues confounded,
Nation by nation still goes unforgiven;
In wrath and fear, by jealousies surrounded,
Building proud towers which shall not reach to heaven:
Thy Kingdom come, O Lord, Thy will be done.
4 How shall we love Thee, holy, hidden Being,
If we love not the world which Thou hast made?
O give us brother love for better seeing
Thy Word made flesh, and in a manger laid:
Thy Kingdom come, O Lord, Thy will be done.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 6:10 Tune Title: LANGHAM
Father Eternal, Ruler of Creation

The world to Christ we bring
With loving zeal;
The poor and them that mourn,
The faint and overborne,
Sin-sick and sorrow-worn,
Whom Christ doth heal.
2 Christ for the world we sing;
The world to Christ we bring
With fervent prayer;
The wayward and the lost,
By restless passions tossed,
Redeemed at countless cost
From dark despair.
3 Christ for the world we sing;
The world to Christ we bring
With one accord;
With us the work to share,
With us reproach to dare,
With us the cross to bear,
For Christ our Lord.
4 Christ for the world we sing;
The world to Christ we bring
With joyful song;
The newborn souls whose days,
Reclaimed from error's ways,
Inspired with hope and praise,
To Christ belong.
Amen. Scripture: 1 John 2:2 Tune Title: ITALIAN HYMN

While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night
Author: Nahum Tate Hymnal: The Hymnbook #169 (1955) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Peace on Earth Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around,
And glory shone around.
2 "Fear not," said he— for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind—
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind,
To you and all mankind.
3 "To you, in David's town this day,
Is born of David's line
The Saviour, who is Christ, the Lord,
And this shall be the sign
And this shall be the sign:
4 "The heavenly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
And in a manger laid,
And in a manger laid."
5 Thus spake the seraph, and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song,
Addressed their joyful song:
6 "All glory be to God on high,
And to the earth be peace:
Good will henceforth, from heaven to men,
Begin and never cease!
Begin and never cease!"
Amen. Scripture: Luke 2:7-17 Tune Title: CHRISTMAS
While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night
O Brother Man
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Hymnal: The Hymnbook #474 (1955) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Peace on Earth First Line: O brother man, fold to thy heart thy brother Lyrics: 1 O brother man, fold to thy heart thy brother;
Where pity dwells, the peace of God is there;
To worship rightly is to love each other,
Each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer.
2 For he whom Jesus loved has truly spoken:
The holier worship which He deigns to bless
Restores the lost, and binds the spirit broken,
And feeds the widow and the fatherless.
3 Follow with reverent steps the great example
Of Him whose holy work was doing good;
So shall the wide earth seem our Father's temple,
Each loving life a psalm of gratitude.
4 Then shall all shackles fall; the stormy clangor
Of wild war music o'er the earth shall cease;
Love shall tread out the baleful fire of anger,
And in its ashes plant the tree of peace.
Amen. Scripture: Acts 10:38 Tune Title: WELWYN
O Brother Man
Of All the Spirit's Gifts to Me
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #270 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.7 Topics: Peace on Earth Lyrics: 1 Of all the Spirit's gifts to me,
I pray that I may never cease
to take and treasure most these three:
love, joy, and peace.
2 The Spirit shows me love's the root
of every gift sent from above,
of every flower, of every fruit,
that God is love.
3 The Spirit shows if I possess
a love no evil can destroy;
however great is my distress,
then this is joy.
4 Though what's ahead is mystery,
and life itself is ours on lease,
each day the Spirit says to me:
"Go forth in peace!"
5 We go in peace, but made aware
that, in a needy world like this,
our clearest purpose is to share
love, joy, and peace. Scripture: Galatians 5:22 Languages: English Tune Title: ALMSGIVING
