The Prince of Peace His Banner Spreads

Author: Harry Emerson Fosdick, 1878- Hymnal: The Abingdon Song Book #255 (1938) Lyrics: 1 The Prince of Peace His banner spreads, His wayward folk to lead From war’s embattled hates and dreads, Its bulwarked ire and greed. O marshal us, the sons of sires Who braved the canon’s roar, To venture all that peace requires As they dared death for war. 2 Lead on, O Christ! That haunting song No centuries can dim, Which long ago the heavenly throng Sang over Bethlehem. Cast down our rancor, fear, and pride, Exalt good will again! Our worship doth Thy name deride, Bring we not peace to men. 3 Thy pardon, Lord, for war’s dark shame, Its death-strewn, bloody fields! Yet thanks to Thee for souls aflame Who dared with swords and shields! O Christ, who died to give men life, Bring that victorious hour, When man shall use for peace, not strife, His valor, skill, and power. 4 Cleanse all our hearts from our disgrace— We love not world, but clan! Make clear our eyes to see our race One family of man. Rend Thou our little temple veils That cloak the truth divine, Until Thy mighty word prevails, That cries, “All souls are mine.” Amen.

The Evangel of the Kingdom

Hymnal: The Psalter #257 (1912) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: O sing a new song to the Lord Lyrics: 1 O sing a new song to the Lord, Sing all the earth to God; In daily praises bless His Name And tell His grace abroad. Among the nations far and wide His glory celebrate; To all the peoples of the earth His wondrous works relate. 2 The Lord is great above all gods, Let glad hosannas rise; The heathen gods are idols vain; Jehovah made the skies. Great honor is before his face, And majesty divine; Within His holy dwelling-place Both strength and beauty shine. 3 Let all the peoples of the earth Give glory to the Lord, Give Him the glory due His Name And strength to Him accord; With off'rings come ye to His courts, In holy beauty bow, Let all the earth with rev'rence come And serve Jehovah now. 4 To all the nations of the earth The blessed tidings bring; Tell all the world Jehovah reigns, The universal King. The world shall therefore stand unmoved, Established by His might; And just is He to judge the wrong And vindicate the right. 5 Let heav'n and earth and sounding sea To Him glad tribute bring; Let field and wood and all therein Before Jehovah sing; For, lo, He comes to judge the earth, And all the world shall see His everlasting faithfulness, His truth and equity.

How blessèd, from the bonds of sin

Author: Karl Johann Philipp Spitta; Jane Borthwick Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #258 (1917) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 How blessèd, from the bonds of sin And earthly fetters free, In singleness of heart and aim Thy servant, Lord, to be! The hardest toil to undertake With joy at Thy command, The meanest office to receive With meekness at Thy hand! 2 With willing heart and longing eyes To watch before Thy gate, Ready to run the weary race, To bear the heavy weight; No voice of thunder to expect, But follow, calm and still, For love can easily divine The One Belovèd’s will. 3 Thus may I serve Thee, Gracious Lord! Thus ever Thine alone, Our souls and bodies given to Thee, The purchase Thou hast won; Through evil or through good report Still keeping by Thy side. By life or death, in this poor flesh Let Christ be magnified! 4 How happily the working days In this dear service fly! How rapidly the closing hour, The time of rest, draws nigh! When all the faithful gather home, A joyful company, And ever where the Master is, Shall His blest servants be. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LEONARD
