Author: Frederick Pratt Green (1903-2000) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #705 (2005) Meter: 15.15.15.6 Lyrics: 1 It is God who hold the nations in the hollow of his hand;
it is God whose light is shining in the darkness of the land;
it is God who builds the city on the Rock and not on sand:
may the living God be praised!
2 It is God whose purpose summons us to use the present hour;
who recalls us to our senses when a nation's life turns sour;
in the discipline of freedom we shall know his saving power:
may the living God be praised!
3 When a thankful nation, looking back, has cause to celebrate
those who win our admiration by their service to the state;
when self-giving is a measure of the greatness of the great:
may the living God be praised!

for the sake of life tomorrow may our love for it increase;
may all peoples live together, share its riches, be at peace:

Fred Pratt Green
1903 - 2000 Author of "It Is God Who Holds the Nations" in Rejoice in the Lord The name of the Rev. F. Pratt Green is one of the best-known of the contemporary school of hymnwriters in the British Isles. His name and writings appear in practically every new hymnal and "hymn supplement" wherever English is spoken and sung. And now they are appearing in American hymnals, poetry magazines, and anthologies.
Mr. Green was born in Liverpool, England, in 1903. Ordained in the British Methodist ministry, he has been pastor and district superintendent in Brighton and York, and now served in Norwich. There he continued to write new hymns "that fill the gap between the hymns of the first part of this century and the 'far-out' compositions that have crowded into some churches in the last decade or more."
