O God of earth and altar
Author: Gilbert Keith Chesterton, 1874-1936 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #344b (1958) Lyrics: 1 O God of earth and altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die;
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
But take away our pride.
2 From all that terror teaches,
From lies of tongue and pen,
From all the easy speeches
That comfort cruel men,
From sale and profanation
Of honor, and the sword,
From sleep and from damnation,
Deliver us, good Lord! A-men.
3 Tie in a living tether
The prince and priest and thrall,
Bind all our lives together,
Smite us and save us all;
In ire and exultation,
Aflame with faith, and free,
Lift up a living nation,
A single sword to thee.
Amen. Topics: The Life in Christ Petition and Intercession; Church Life and Work City, Nation, World Tune Title: KING'S LYNN

O God of Font and Altar
Author: Carl Daw, Jr. (1944-) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #389 (1998) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O God of font and altar,
of music, grandeur, light;
toward whom the soaring arches
aspire beyond their height:
as beauty draws us to you
within this house of prayer,
let worship form and feed us
to help us show your care.
2 O life-bestowing Spirit,
inspire this hallowed space;
breathe through us with new fervor
and fill us with your grace.
Arouse our lagging spirits,
enflame our hearts with joy:
here let a love be kindled
that death cannot destroy.
3 O Christ, who cleansed the temple,
baptize us with your zeal,
and teach us your compassion
to love, forgive, and heal.
Be in our midst to claim us
and mark us as your own,
then send us forth in witness
to make your mercy known. Topics: Praise of God; Baptism (general) Scripture: 1 Kings 8:22-30 Languages: English Tune Title: KING'S LYNN

O Faithless, Fearful Army
Author: Heinrich Vogel; W. A. Whitehouse Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #395 (1985) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O faithless, fearful army,
for you the Lord doth fight;
for you, through oceans stormy,
he cleaves his path of light.
Determined is the issue,
the crucial vict'ry past;
and God, who has redeemed you,
upholds you to the last.
2 Why downcast, why despairing,
in face of hostile power,
as though alone you're bearing
the stresses of this hour?
To death and hell appointed,
see conqu'ring in your place
the Son of God, th'Anointed,
elect by sov'reign grace!
3 His death and resurrection
he clothes upon his folk,
bound to him in subjection
by faith and love and hope.
O warrior true and glorious,
thou hast God's battle won!
Lord Christ, for us victorious,
thy perfect work is done.
