Fairest Lord Jesus

Hymnal: Voices United #341 (1996) Meter: 5.6.8.5.5.8 Topics: Nation First Line: Fairest Lord Jesus, ruler of all nature Lyrics: 1 Fairest Lord Jesus, ruler of all nature, O thou of God to earth come down: thee will I cherish, thee will I honour, thou my soul's glory, joy, and crown. 2 Fair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands, robed in the blooming garb of spring; Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer, who makes the woeful heart to sing. 3 Fair is the sunshine, Fairer still the moonlight, and fair the twinkling, starry host; Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer than all the angels heaven can boast. 4 All fairest beauty heavenly and earthly, wondrously, Jesus, is found in thee; none can be nearer, fairer or dearer than thou, my Saviour, art to me.

May God thy gold refine, Till all success be nobleness, And every gain divine. 4 O beautiful for patriot dream That sees, beyond the years, Thine alabaster cities gleam, Undimmed by human tears!

Turn back, O man, forswear thy foolish ways

Author: Clifford Bax, b. 1886 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #348 (1958) Topics: Church Life and Work City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 Turn back, O man, forswear thy foolish ways. Old now is earth, and none may count her days, Yet thou, her child, whose head is crowned with flame, Still wilt not hear thine inner God proclaim, 'Turn back, O man, forswear thy foolish ways.' 2 Earth might be fair, and all men glad and wise. Age after age their tragic empires rise, Built while they dream, and in that dreaming weep: Would man but wake from out his haunted sleep, Earth might be fair, and all men glad and wise. 3 Earth shall be fair, and all her people one; Nor till that hour shall God's whole will be done. Now, even now, once more from earth to sky, Peals forth in joy man's old, undaunted cry, 'Earth shall be fair, and all her folk be one!' Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 124th

Where cross the crowded ways of life

Author: Frank Mason North, 1850 - 1935 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #351 (1958) Topics: Church Life and Work City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life, Where sound the cries of race and clan, Above the noise of selfish strife, We hear thy voice, O Son of Man. 2 In haunts of wretchedness and need, On shadowed thresholds dark with fears, From paths where hide the lures of greed, We catch the vision of thy tears. A-men. 3 From tender childhood's helplessness, From woman's grief, man's burdened toil, From famished souls, from sorrow's stress, Thy heart has never known recoil. 4 The cup of water given for thee Stills holds the freshness of thy grace; Yet long these multitudes to see The sweet compassion of thy face. 5 O Master, from the mountain side, Make haste to heal these hearts of pain; Among these restless throngs abide, O tread the city's streets again; 6 Till sons of men shall learn thy love, And follow where thy feet have trod; Till glorious from thy heaven above, Shall come the city of our God. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: WALTON (GERMANY)
