earth shall to freedom and truth be restored;
through the thick darkness thy Kingdom is hastening;
thou wilt give peace in thy time, O Lord.

praise him who saved them from peril and sword,
singing in chorus, from ocean to ocean,
peace to the nations, and praise to the Lord. Topics: The Church Celebrates National Life; Our Response to God in intercession and petition; God in judgement and justice; Kingdom of God; Nation and Society; Peace; Remembrance Sunday; Word of God Used With Tune: RUSSIA

On the Day of Pentecost
It Came upon the Midnight Clear
Author: Edmund H. Sears, 1810-76 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 867 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 11:9 Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on the earth, goodwill to all,
From heav'n's all-gracious king."
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
2 Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled,
And still their heav'nly music floats
O'er all the weary world.
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hov'ring wing,
And ever o'er its babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
3 All you, beneath your heavy load,
By care and guilt bent low,
Who toil along a dreary way
With painful steps and slow:
Look up, for golden is the hour,
Come swiftly on the wing,
The Prince was born to bring you peace;
Of Him the angels sing.
4 For lo, the days have come to pass
By prophets seen of old,
When down into the circling years
Came Christ as was foretold.
His word of peace shall to the earth
God's ancient promise bring,
And all who take this gift will hear
The song the angels sing. Topics: Society Used With Tune: CAROL

All My Hope on God Is Founded
Author: Robert Seymour Bridges Meter: 8.7.8.7.3.3.7 Appears in 69 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 11:1 Lyrics:
1 All my hope on God is founded;
he doth still my trust renew.
Me through change and chance he guideth,
only good and only true.
God unknown, he alone
calls my heart to be his own.
2 Human pride and earthly glory,
sword and crown betray his trust.
What with care and toil we fashion,
tower and temple, fall to dust.
But God's power, hour by hour,
is my temple and my tower.
3 God's great goodness aye endureth;
deep his wisdom, passing thought.
Splendor, light, and life attend him,
beauty springeth out of nought.
Evermore from his store
newborn worlds rise and adore.
4 Daily doth th'almighty Giver
bounteous gifts on us bestow;
his desire our soul delighteth;
pleasure leads us where we go.
Love doth stand at his hand;
joy doth wait on his command.
5 Still from earth to God eternal
sacrifice of praise be done,
high above all praises praising
for the gift of Christ his Son.
Christ doth call one and all:
ye who follow shall not fall.

When the World Is Babbling 'Round Us
Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Meter: 8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 11:1-9 First Line: When the world is babbling 'round us, Lyrics: When the word is babbling 'round us,
deafening us to human need,
when its selfish ways confound us
as we satisfy our greed,
find us and free us, O God.
When we fail to hear you call us,
when we turn and run away
until evil times befall us,
causing us to stop and pray,
find us, forgive us, O God.
Let your holy spirit enter
into hearts on wings of dove.
Let your will be at the center
of our lives afire with love.
Find us, and fill us, O God.
Make us one with Christ in caring
for the outcast and the lost,
that in joyful, selfless sharing
we may never count the cost.
Find us, and form us, O God.
