In the lands across the seas,
Under dark or smiling skies,
In the arm or wintry breeze,
Lord of hosts, Thy sovereign hand
Over all our comrades be;
Hear us for our motherland
And the lands across the sea.
2 Far and wide Thy word be known,
On Thy love, Lord, let us wait;
Let the empire be Thine own,
By Thy gentleness made great.
By Thy will alone we stand,
We are strong alone in Thee;
Hear us for our motherland
And the lands across the sea.
3 Through the empire spread Thy light,
Over all shed Thou Thy calm;
Arm us for our heavenly fight,
By the oak, the pine, the palm;
One world-wide confederate band,
May we all be one in Thee!
Hear us for our motherland
And the lands across the sea. Used With Tune: SHAROW GRANGE

Father, let Thy kingdom come
O Lord of Hosts, Who didst upraise
Author: A. C. Benson, 1862- Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: National War; National War; Peace Among Nations Lyrics: 1 O Lord of Hosts, Who didst upraise
Strong captains to defend the right,
In darker years and sterner days,
And armedst Israel for the fight:
Thou madest Joshua true and strong,
And David framed the battle-song.
2 And must we battle yet? Must we,
Who bear the tender name Divine,
Still barter life for victory
Still glory in the crimson sign?
The Crucified between us stands,
And lifts on high His wounded hands.
3 Lord, we are weak and wilful yet,
The fault is in our clouded eyes;
But Thou, through anguish and regret,
Dost make Thy faithless children wise;
Through wrong, through hate, Thou dost approve
The far-off victories of love.
4 And so from out the heart of strife,
Diviner echoes peal and thrill;
The scorned delights, the lavished life,
The pain that serves a nation's will;
Thy comfort stills the mourner's cries,
And love is crowned by sacrifice.
5 As rains that weep the clouds away,
As winds that leave a calm in heaven,
So let the slayer cease to slay;
The passion healed, the wrath forgiven,
Draw nearer, bid the tumult cease,
Redeemer, Saviour, Prince of Peace! Used With Tune: BENSON
O Lord of Hosts, Who didst upraise

Bade the noise of war be still.

With Thy trophies from the fray;
Thou hast slain the the valiant-hearted
Wrapt in sleep of death are they;
When Thy anger once is risen,
Who can stand in that dread day?

All the earth in fear was still,
While to save the meek and lowly
God in judgement wrought His will;
E'en the wrath of man shall praise Thee,
Thy design it shall fulfill.

And all His glory show;

And bring the wicked low.

The unseen God is near;
Let rulers fear their Ruler,
Their Judge let judges fear.
How long, ye earthly judges,
Will ye pervert the right?
How long shall wicked persons
Have favor in your sight?

The orphan's cause maintain;
Defend the poor and needy,
Oppressed and wronged for gain.
When rulers walk in darkness,
When judges truth forsake,
The cornerstones are crumbled,
The firm foundations shake.
3 The Most High God has called you
And set you up on high,
But ye to Him must answer,
For ye like men must die.
Arise, O God Eternal,
Thou Judge of all the earth,
Thro' all Thy ransomed nations
Send now Thy justice forth. Scripture: Psalm 82 Used With Tune: ALGIERS

Deliverances

When Jordan roll'd its tide away,
And gave a passage to their bands,
Safely to march across its sands.
2 What hath God wrought! might well be said,
When Jesus, rising from the dead,
Scatter'd the shades of pagan night,
And bless'd the nations with his light.
3 What hath God wrought! let Britain see,
Freed from the plagues of popery,
Its ten fold night, its iron chains,
Its galling yoke, its cruel pains.
4 What hath God wrought! in glad surprize,
Shall sound thro' all the earth and skies,
When, like a mill-stone in the main,
Proud Rome shall sink, nor rise again.
5 What hath God wrought! O blissful theme!
Are we redeem'd, and call'd by him?
Shall we be led the desert thro'?—
And safe arrive at glory too?—
6 The news shall every heart employ,
Fill every tongue with rapturous joy;
When shall we join the heavenly throng,
To swell the triumph and the song! Scripture: Numbers 23:23
