Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old
Author: Edward Hayes Plumptre, 1821 - 91 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #324 (1958) Topics: Church Life and Work The Propagation of the Gospel Lyrics: 1 Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old
Was strong to heal and save;
It triumphed o'er disease and death,
O'er darkness and the grave;
To thee they went, the blind, the dumb,
The palsied and the lame,
The leper with his tainted life,
The sick with fevered frame. A-men.
2 And lo, thy touch brought life and health,
Gave speech and strength and sight:
And youth renewed and frenzy calmed
Owned thee the Lord of light;
And now, O Lord, be near to bless,
Almighty as of yore,
In crowded street, by restless couch,
As by Gennesaret's shore.
3 Be thou our great deliverer still,
Thou Lord of life and death;
Restore and quicken, soothe and bless,
With thine almighty breath.
To hands that work and eyes that see
Give wisdom's heavenly lore,
That whole and sick, and weak and strong,
May praise thee evermore.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MATTHEW

Thy kingdom come! O Father, hear our prayer
Author: Margaret Rebecca Seebach, 1875 - 1948 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #318 (1958) Topics: Church Life and Work The Propagation of the Gospel Lyrics: 1 Thy kingdom come! O Father, hear our prayer;
Shine through the clouds that darken everywhere;
Thou only light, thou only life and joy,
Show us the hope that nothing can destroy.
2 Stumbling and blind, we strive to do thy will,
Trusting the word thou surely wilt fulfill,
That men are thine, however far they roam,
That love shall triumph, and thy kingdom come. A-men.
3 Come, through the faith whereby the Church must live;
Come, through the word of truth she has to give;
Come, through her teaching, and her healing, too;
Come, through the work united hearts can do.
4 Thy kingdom come, and come thy glorious Son;
O may our task for him be nobly done!
Faithful and true let all thy servants be,
Till they shall bring all nations home to thee.

Eternal God, whose power upholds
O holy city, seen of John
Author: Walter Russell Bowie, b.1882 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #332 (1958) Topics: Church Life and Work The Kingdom of God Lyrics: 1 O holy city, seen of John,
Where Christ, the Lamb, doth reign,
Within whose foursquare walls shall come
No night, nor need, nor pain,
And where the tears are wiped from eyes
That shall not weep again!
2 Hark, how from men whose lives are held
More cheap than merchandise,
From women struggling sore for bread,
From little children's cries,
There swells the sobbing human plaint
That bids thy walls arise!
3 Give us, O God, the strength to build
The city that hath stood
Too long a dream, whose laws are love,
Whose ways are brotherhood,
And where the sun that shineth is
God’s grace for human good.
4 Already in the mind of God
That city riseth fair;
Lo, how its splendor challenges
The souls that greatly dare,
Yea, bids us seize the whole of life
And build its glory there. Languages: English Tune Title: FORD COTTAGE

Center and soul of every sphere,
Yet to each loving heart how near!
2 Sun of our life, thy quickening ray
Sheds on our path the glow of day;
Star of our hope, thy softened light
Cheers the long watches of the night. A-men.
3 Our midnight is thy smile withdrawn,
Our noontide is thy gracious dawn,
Our rainbow arch thy mercy’s sign;
All, save the clouds of sin, are thine.
4 Lord of all life, below, above,
Whose light is truth, whose warmth is love,
Before thy ever-blazing throne
We ask no luster of our own.
5 Grant us thy truth to make us free,
And kindling hearts that burn for thee,
Till all thy living altars claim
One holy light, one heavenly flame.

Where sound the cries of race and clan,
Above the noise of selfish strife,
We hear thy voice, O Son of Man.
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
On shadowed thresholds dark with fears,
From paths where hide the lures of greed,
We catch the vision of thy tears. A-men.
3 From tender childhood's helplessness,
From woman's grief, man's burdened toil,
From famished souls, from sorrow's stress,
Thy heart has never known recoil.
4 The cup of water given for thee
Stills holds the freshness of thy grace;
Yet long these multitudes to see
The sweet compassion of thy face.
5 O Master, from the mountain side,
Make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
Among these restless throngs abide,
O tread the city's streets again;
6 Till sons of men shall learn thy love,
And follow where thy feet have trod;
Till glorious from thy heaven above,
Shall come the city of our God.
Amen.
