Gather our rival faiths within thy fold! Rend all our temple veils and bid them fall, that we may know that thou hast been of old; gather us in. 2 Gather us in: we worship only thee; in varied names we stretch a common hand; in diverse forms a common soul we see; in many ships we seek one spirit-land; gather us in. 3 Each sees one colour of thy rainbow light; each looks upon one tint and calls it heaven; thou art the fullness of our partial sight; we are not perfect till we find the seven; gather us in. 4 Some seek a Father in the heavens above, some ask a human image to adore, some crave a spirit vast as life and love; within thy mansions we have all and more; gather us in.

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: National prayer and praise First Line: When Abraham, full of sacred awe Lyrics: 1 When Abram, full of sacred awe, Before Jehovah stood, And, with an humble fervent prayer, For guilty Sodom sued; 2 With what success, what wondrous grace, Was his petitions crown'd! The Lord would spare, if in the place Ten righteous men were found. 3 And could a single, holy soul So rich a boon obtain? Good God, and shall a nation cry, And plead with thee in vain? 4 Britain, all guilty as she is, Her numerous saints can boast, And now their fervent prayers ascend, And can those prayers be lost? 5 Are not the righteous dear to thee, Now as in ancient times? Or does this sinful land exceed Gomorrah in its crimes? 6 Still are we thine, we bear thy name, Here yet is thine abode; Long has thy presence bless'd our land, Forsake us not, O God. Scripture: Genesis 18:23-33

Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 856 hymnals Topics: National Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain; His blood-red banner streams afar: Who follows in His train? Who best can drink his cup of woe, Triumphant over pain, Who patient bears his cross below, He follows in His train. 2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave, Who saw his Master in the sky, And called on Him to save; Like Him, with pardon on his tongue In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong: Who follows in his train? 3 A glorious band, the chosen few On whom the Spirit came, Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, And mocked the cross and flame: They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane; They bowed their necks the death to feel: Who follows in their train? 4 A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Saviour's throne rejoice, In robes of light arrayed: They climbed the steep ascent of heav'n Through peril, toil and pain: O God, to us may grace be giv'n To follow in their train. Amen. Scripture: Acts 7:59-60 Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS NEW

Ye righteous, in the Lord rejoice

Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: National Lyrics: 1 Ye righteous, in the Lord rejoice; It well becomes the good man's voice To sing Jehovah's praise. With harp and hymn of gladness sing, Your gift of sweetest music bring, To him a new song raise. 2 For upright is Jehovah's word; And all the doings of the Lord In faithfulness are wrought. In justice and in judgment right The Lord doth ever take delight; With goodness earth is fraught. 3 Jehovah's word the heav'ns hath made, And all the host of them arrayed His breath has caused to be. He rolls the waters heap on heap; He stores away the mighty deep In garners of the sea. 4 Let all the earth Jehovah fear, Let all that dwell both far and near In awe before him stand; For, lo, he spake and it was done, And all, his sovereign pow'r begun, Stood fast at his command. 5 He makes the nations' counsels vain, The plans the peoples would maintain Are thwarted by his hand. Jehovah's counsel stands secure, His purposes of heart endure, For evermore they stand. 6 O truly is the nation blessed Whose God, before the world confessed, Jehovah is alone; And blessed the people is whom he Has made his heritage to be, And chosen for his own. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 33:1-12 Used With Tune: FRANCES Text Sources: Compiled from several sources
