O Where Are Kings and Empires Now
Author: Arthur Cleveland Coxe Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 305 hymnals First Line: O where are the kings and empires now Lyrics: 1 O where are kings and empires now
Of old that went and came?
But, Lord, Thy Church is praying yet,
A thousand years the same.
2 We mark her goodly battlements,
And her foundations strong;
We hear within the solemn voice
Of her unending song.
3 For not like kingdoms of the world
Thy holy Church, O God;
Though earthquake shocks are threatening her,
And tempests are abroad,
4 Unshaken as eternal hills,
Immovable she stands,
A mountain that shall fill the earth,
A house not made by hands.
Amen. Topics: Church, The; Church, The Church Triumphant Scripture: Psalm 48:12-13 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE

Lovers of Pleasure More than God
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 76 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lovers of pleasure more than God,
For you He suffered pain;
Swearers, for you He spilt his blood;
And shall He bleed in vain?
2. Misers, for you his life He paid,
Your basest crime He bore:
Drunkards, your sins on Him were laid,
That you might sin no more.
3. The God of love, to earth He came,
That you might come to Heaven;
Believe, believe in Jesus’ name,
And all your sin’s forgiven.
4. Believe in Him that died for thee,
And, sure as He hath died,
Thy debt is paid, Thy soul is free,
And thou art justified. Used With Tune: ST. ANNE Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1749
Lovers of Pleasure More than God
O Lord and Master of Us All
Author: John G. Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 70 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Lord and Master of us all,
Whate’er our name or sign,
We own Thy sway, we hear Thy call,
We test our lives by Thine.
2. Thou judgest us; Thy purity
Doth all our lusts condemn;
The love that draws us nearer Thee
Is hot with wrath to them.
3. Our thoughts lie open to Thy sight
And naked to Thy glance
Our secret sins are in the light
Of Thy pure countenance.
4. Yet weak and blinded though we be,
Thou dost our service own;
We bring our varying gifts to Thee,
And Thou rejectest none.
5. To Thee our full humanity,
Its joys and pains belong;
The wrong of man to man on Thee
Inflicts a deeper wrong.
6. Who hates, hates Thee; who loves, becomes
Therein to Thee allied:
All sweet accords of hearts and homes
In Thee are multiplied.
7. Apart from Thee all gain is loss,
All labor vainly done;
The solemn shadow of the cross
Is better than the sun.
8. Our Friend, our Brother, and our Lord,
What may Thy service be?
Nor name, nor form, nor ritual word,
But simply following Thee.
9. We faintly hear, we dimly see,
In differing phrase we pray;
But dim or clear, we own in Thee
The Light, the Truth, the Way. Used With Tune: ST. ANNE
O Lord and Master of Us All
Sing to the Lord Jehovah's Name
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 145 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Sing to the Lord Jehovah’s name,
And in His strength rejoice;
When His salvation is our theme,
Exalted be our voice.
2. With thanks approach His awful sight,
And psalms of honor sing;
The Lord’s a God of endless might,
The whole creation’s king.
3. Let princes hear, and angels know,
How mean their natures seem,
These gods on high and gods below,
When once compared with Him.
4. Earth, with its caverns dark and deep,
Lies in His spacious hand;
He fixed the seas what bounds to keep,
And where the hills must stand.
5. Come, and with humble souls adore,
Come, kneel before His face;
O may the creatures of His power
Be children of His grace!
6. Now is the time; He bends His ear,
And waits for your request;
Come, lest He rouse His wrath and swear,
Ye shall not see My rest. Used With Tune: ST. ANNE Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Great King of nations, hear our prayer
Author: John H. Gurney Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 74 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great King of nations, hear our prayer,
While at thy feet we fall,
And humbly, with united cry,
To thee for mercy call.
2 The guilt is ours, but grace is thine,
O turn us not away;
But hear us from thy lofty throne,
And help us when we pray.
3 Our fathers' sins were manifold,
And ours no less we own,
Yet wondrously from age to age
Thy goodness hath been shown.
4 When dangers, like a stormy sea,
Beset our country round,
To thee we looked, to thee we cried,
And help in thee was found.
5 With one consent we meekly bow
Beneath thy chast'ning hand,
And, pouring forth confession meet,
Mourn with our mourning land.
6 With pitying eye behold our need,
As thus we lift our prayer;
Correct us with thy judgments, Lord,
Then let thy mercy spare.
Amen. Topics: Confession of Sin; God Faithfuless of; National; Supplication For Mercy Scripture: Luke 1:50 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE
