Lord, bring the day to pass

Author: Ian Fraser, b. 1917 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 Lord, bring the day to pass when forest, rock and hill, the beasts, the birds, the grass, will know your finished will: when we attain our destiny and nature lives in harmony. 2 Forgive our careless use of water, ore and soil — the plenty we abuse supplied by others' toil: save us from making self our creed, turn us towards each other's need. 3 Give us, when we release creation's secret powers, to harness them for peace — our children's peace and ours: teach us the art of mastering in servant form, which draws death's sting. 4 Creation groans, travails, futile its present plight, bound — till the hour it hails God's children born of light, who enter on their true estate. Come, Lord: new heavens and earth create. Scripture: 2 Peter 3:13 Used With Tune: LAWES'S PSALM 47

Thou art the Christ, O Lord

Author: W. Walsham How Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Thou art the Christ, O Lord, the Son of God most high: for ever be adored that name in earth and sky, in which, though mortal strength may fail, the saints of God at last prevail. 2 O surely he was blest with blessedness unpriced, who, taught of God, confessed the Godhead in the Christ; for of thy church, Lord, thou didst own thy saint a true foundation-stone. 3 Thrice fallen, thrice restored, the bitter lesson learnt, that heart for thee, O Lord, with triple ardour burnt. The cross he took he laid not down until he grasped the martyr's crown. 4 O bright triumphant faith, O courage void of fears, O love most strong in death, O penitential tears! By these, Lord, keep us lest we fall, and make us go where thou shalt call. Topics: Saints St. Peter; Proper 16 Year A Scripture: Ephesians 2:20 Used With Tune: LAWE'S PSALM 47
