On Sion's chosen Hill,
Proclaim the Wonders of thy Hand,
And Counsels of thy Will.

The City where we dwell,
Compass and view thine holy Ground,
And mark the Building well.
4 The Orders of thy House,

The cheerful Songs, the solemn Vows,
And make a fair Report.

How glorious to behold!
Beyond the Pomp that charms the Eyes,
And Rites adorn'd with Gold.

Far as thy Name is known
On a day of prayer for success in war
Author: Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: National prayer and praise First Line: Lord, how shall wretched sinners dare Lyrics: 1 Lord, how shall wretched sinners dare
Look up to thy divine above?
Or offer their imperfect prayer
Before a just, a holy God?
2 Bright terrors guard thy awful seat,
And dazzling glories veil thy face;
Yet mercy calls us to thy feet,
Thy throne is still a throne of grace.
3 O may our souls thy grace adore
May Jesus plead our humble claim;
While thy protection we implore,
In his prevailing, glorious name.
4 With all the boasted pomp of war
In vain we dare the hostile field:
In vain, unless the Lord be there;
Thy arm alone is Britain's shield.
5 Let past experience of thy care
Support our hope, our trust invite!
Again attend our humble prayer!
Again be mercy thy delight!
6 Our arms succeed, our councils guide,
Let thy right hand our cause maintain;
'Till war's destructive rage subside,
And peace resume her gentle reign.
7 O when shall time the period bring,
When raging war shall waste no more;
When peace shall stretch her balmy wing
From Europe's coast, to India's shore.
8 When shall the gospel's healing ray
(Kind source of amity divine!)
Spread o'er the world celestial day?
When shall the nations, Lord, be thine?

Your hand, O God, has guided
Author: Edward Hayes Plumptre, 1821-91 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 57 hymnals Topics: National Life Lyrics: 1 Your hand, O God, has guided
your flock from age to age;
the wondrous tale is written
full clear, on every page.
your people owed your goodness,
and we their deeds accord;
and both of this bear witness:
one church, one faith, one Lord.
2 Your heralds brought glad tidings
to greatest, as to least;
they bade them rise, and hasten
to share the great king's feast;
and this was all their teaching,
in every deed and word,
to all alike proclaiming
one church, one faith, one Lord.
3 Through many a day of darkness,
through many a scene of strife,
the faithful few fought bravely
to guard the nation's life.
Their gospel of redemption,
sin pardoned, earth restored,
was all in this enfolded:
one church, one faith, one Lord.
4 Your mercy will not fail us,
nor leave your work undone;
with your right hand to help us
the victory shall be won;
and then by all creation
your name shall be adored,
and this shall be our anthem:
one church, one faith, one Lord. Scripture: Ephesians 4:1-6 Used With Tune: THORNBURY
Your hand, O God, has guided
The Lord is near! with Sinai tread
Author: Alexander Clark Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Fast-Day; Sudden National Calamity Lyrics: 1 The Lord is near! with Sinai trend
He comes to earth again;
From sudden darkness overhead,
A tongue of lightning, clear and dread,
Enough to wake the dusty dead,
Proclaims God's will to men.
2 Oh, bleeding country, now arise,
And call upon the Lord;
Thy broken heart and tearful eyes
Win pity on thee from the skies,
Through Christ, the world's slain sacrifice,
Who saves thee by his word.
3 Thou God of nations, hear our prayer;
We lift our thoughts to thee;
Our sinful nation's life, oh spare!
And may our grief thy grace declare,
By every Christly cross we bear
To bless and make men free.

Some thankful Tribute to thine Ear;

Thy Bounty flows, an endless Stream;
Thy Mercy swift, thine Anger slow,
But dreadful to the stubborn Foe.

And speak thy Majesty divine;
Let Britain round her Shores proclaim
The Sound and Honour of thy Name.

The long Succession of thy Praise,

Vast and immortal be thy Praise. Scripture: Psalm 144

O Day of Peace
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: Nation First Line: O day of peace that dimly shines Lyrics: 1 O day of peace that dimly shines
through all our hopes and prayers and dreams,
guide us to justice, truth, and love,
delivered from our selfish schemes.
May swords of hate fall from our hands,
our hearts from envy find release,
till by God's grace our warring world
shall see Christ's promised reign of peace.
2 Then shall the wolf dwell with the lamb,
nor shall the fierce devour the small;
as beasts and cattle calmly graze,
a little child shall lead them all.
Then enemies shall learn to love,
all creatures find their true accord;
the hope of peace shall be fulfilled,
for all the earth shall know the Lord. Used With Tune: JERUSALEM
