God of Grace and God of Glory
Author: Harry Emerson Fosdick Hymnal: The Worshipbook #393 (1972) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Civil Year New Year; Civil Year Independence Day; Civil Year Labor Day Lyrics: 1 God of grace and God of glory,
On your people pour your power;
Crown the ancient church's story;
Bring her bud to glorious flower.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
For the facing of this hour,
For the facing of this hour.
2 Lo! the hosts of evil round us
Scorn the Christ, assail his ways!
From the fears that long have bound us
Free our hearts to faith and praise.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
For the living of these days,
For the living of these days.
3 Cure your children's warring madness,
Bend our pride to your control;
Shame our wanton, selfish gladness,
Rich in things and poor in soul.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
Lest we miss the Kingdom's goal,
Lest we miss the Kingdom's goal.
4 Save us from weak resignation
To the evils we deplore;
Let the search for your salvation
Be our glory evermore.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
Serving God whom we adore,
Serving God whom we adore.
Amen. Scripture: Acts 2:17-18 Tune Title: CWM RHONDDA

All People That on Earth Do Dwell
Author: William Kethe Hymnal: The Worshipbook #288 (1972) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Civil Year New Year; Civil Year Memorial Day; Civil Year Thanksgiving Day Lyrics: 1 All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;
Him serve with mirth, His praise forth tell,
Come ye before him and rejoice.
2 Know that the Lord is God indeed;
Without our aid he did us make;
We are his folk, he doth us feed,
And for his sheep he doth us take.
3 O enter then his gates with praise,
Approach with joy his courts unto;
Praise, laud, and bless his name always,
For it is seemly so to do.
4 For why? the Lord our God is good,
His mercy is forever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 100 Tune Title: OLD HUNDREDTH (altered rhythm)

O God of Every Nation
Author: William W. Reid, Jr. Hymnal: The Worshipbook #498 (1972) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Civil Year Memorial Day; Civil Year Independence Day; Civil Year Labor Day 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 all who labor
That men may find release
From fear of rattling saber,
From dread of war's increase;
When hope and courage falter,
Your still small 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 brotherhood shall reign,
And Christ shall rule victorious
O'er all the world's domain.
Amen. Scripture: Micah 4:1-4 Tune Title: LLANGLOFFAN

With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by thy might,
Great God, our King.

Not alone for bounteous harvests,
Lift we up our hearts to you.

Lord, we would with deep thanksgiving
Praise you most for things unseen.

Not for conquests of the sword,
But for conquests of the spirit
Give we thanks to you, O Lord;
For the priceless gift of freedom,
For the home, the church, the school,
For the open door to manhood
In a land the people rule.
3 For the armies of the faithful,
Souls that passed and left no name;
For the glory that illumines
Patriot lives of deathless fame;
For our prophets and apostles,
Loyal to the living Word,
For all heroes of the spirit,
Give we thanks to you, O Lord.

From the clash of race and creed,
From the strife of class and faction:
Make our nation free indeed.
Keep her faith in simple manhood
Strong as when her life began,
Till it find its full fruition
In the brotherhood of man.
Amen. Scripture: James 1:22-27 Tune Title: GENEVA

O God, Beneath Your Guiding Hand
Author: Leonard Bacon Hymnal: The Worshipbook #495 (1972) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Civil Year Memorial Day; Civil Year Independence Day; Civil Year Thanksgiving Day Lyrics: 1 O God, beneath your guiding hand
Our exiled fathers crossed the sea;
And echoed o'er the wintry strand,
Their psalms and prayers in worship free.
2 You heard, well-pleased, the song, the prayer:
Your blessing came, and still its power
Shall onward through all ages bear
The memory of that holy hour.
3 Laws, freedom, truth, and faith in God
Came with those exiles o'er the waves,
And where their pilgrim feet have trod,
The God they trusted guards their graves.
4 And here your name, O God of love,
Their children's children shall adore,
Till these eternal hills remove,
And spring adorns the earth no more.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 8 Tune Title: DUKE STREET

Author: Gilbert K. Chesterton Hymnal: The Worshipbook #497 (1972) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Civil Year Memorial Day; Civil Year Independence Day; Civil Year Labor Day Lyrics: 1 O God of earth and altar,
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 honor 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.
Amen. Tune Title: LLANGLOFFAN

Our heart's true home when all our years have sped.

At that manger rude and bare,
So may we with holy joy,
Pure, and free from sin's alloy,
All our costliest treasures bring,

Bring our ransomed souls at last

In dreams of human art,
In speech that flows to melody,
In holiness of heart:
Teach us to ban all ugliness,
And all disharmony,
Till all shall know the loveliness
Of lives made fair and free!
4 O God of righteousness and grace,
Seen in the Christ, your Son,
Whose life and death reveal your face,
By whom your will was done;
Help us to spread your gracious reign
Till greed and hate shall cease,
And kindness dwell in human hearts,
And all the earth find peace!

To him who chose us for his own.

But do your part in conscience true;
Trust his rich promises of grace,
So shall they be fulfilled in you;

The souls that trust in him indeed.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Frederic H. Hedge; Martin Luther Hymnal: The Worshipbook #274 (1972) Meter: Irregular Topics: Civil Year Memorial Day; Civil Year Independence Day Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing;
Our helper he amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing:
For still our ancient foe
Does seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great,
And, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
2 Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing,
Were not the right Man on our side,
The Man of God's own choosing.
You ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he,
The Lord of Hosts his name,
From age to age the same,
And he must win the battle.
3 And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God has willed
His truth to triumph through us;
The prince of darkness grim,
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo! his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.
4 That word above all earthly powers,
No thanks to them, is standing;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours—
We answer his commanding.
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill:
God's truth is ruling still—
His kingdom is forever!
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 46 Tune Title: EIN' FESTE BURG
A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
