From ocean unto ocean
Author: Robert Murray, 1832-1910 Appears in 78 hymnals Topics: Church Life and Work City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 From ocean unto ocean
Our land shall own thee Lord,
And, filled with true devotion,
Obey thy sovereign word,
Our prairies and our mountains,
Forest and fertile field,
Our rivers, lakes, and fountains,
To thee shall tribute yield.
2 O Christ, for thine own glory,
And for our country's weal,
We humbly plead before thee,
Thyself in us reveal;
And may we know, Lord Jesus,
The touch of thy dear hand,
And, healed of our diseases,
The Tempter's power withstand. A-men.
3 Our Saviour King, defend us,
And guide where we should go;
Forth, with thy message send us,
Thy love and light to show;
Till, fired with true devotion
Enkindled by thy word,
From ocean unto ocean
Our land shall own thee Lord.
Amen.

Yet to eternity standeth thy word;
Falsehood and wrong shall not tarry beside thee;
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord.

Earth shall to freedom and truth be restored;
Through the thick darkness thy kingdom is hastening:

Praise him who saved them from peril and sword,

My Life Flows On
Author: Robert Lowry Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 148 hymnals Topics: A New Heaven and A New Earth Completion of Creation and City of God; City/City of God First Line: My life flows on in endless song Lyrics: 1 My life flows on in endless song;
above earth’s lamentation,
I hear the sweet, though far off hymn
that hails a new creation.
Through all the tumult and the strife,
I hear the music ringing:
It finds an echo in my soul --
how can I keep from singing?
2 What though my joys and comforts die?
My Saviour still is living.
What though the shadowss gather round?
A new song Christ is giving.
No storm can shake my inmost calm
while to that Rock I'm clinging:
since Love commands both heaven and earth,
how can I keep from singing?
3 When tyrants tremble, sick with fear,
and hear their death knells ringing:
when friends rejoice both far and near,
how can I keep from singing?
In prison cell and dungeon vile
our thoughts to them are winging:
when friends by shame are undefiled,
how can I keep from singing?
4 I lift my eyes; the cloud grows thin;
I see the blue above it;
and day by day this pathway smooths,
since first I learned to love it.
The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart,
a fountain ever springing:
all things are mine since I am Christ's --
how can I keep from singing? Used With Tune: HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING

In Our Day of Thanksgiving
Author: W. H. Draper Meter: 13.12.13.11 Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: City of God First Line: In our day of thanksgiving one psalm let us offer Lyrics: 1 In our day of thanksgiving one psalm let us offer
for the saints who before us have found their reward;
when the shadow of death fell upon them, we sorrowed,
but now we rejoice that they rest in the Lord.
2 In the morning of life, and at noon, and at even,
he called them away from our worship below;
but love, in the Wod, at the font, and on the altar
had girt them with grace for the way they should go.
3 These stones that have echoed their praises are holy,
and dear is the ground where their feet have once trod;
yet here they confessed they were strangers and pilgrims,
and still they were seeking the city of God.
4 Sing praise, then, for all who here sought and here found him,
whose journey is ended, whose perils are past;
they believed in the light; and its glory is round them
where the clouds of earth’s sorrows are lifted at last.
Scripture: Hebrews 11:13 Used With Tune: KREMSER Text Sources: "In Remembrance of Past Worshipers"

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,932 hymnals Topics: New Heaven and a New Earth The Completion of Creation (The City of God) Lyrics: 1. Love divine, all loves excelling,
joy of heaven, to earth come down;
fix in us thy humble dwelling;
all thy faithful mercies crown!
Jesus, thou art all compassion,
pure, unbounded love thou art;
visit us with thy salvation;
enter every trembling heart.
2. Breathe, O breathe thy loving Spirit
into every troubled breast!
Let us all in thee inherit;
let us find that second rest.
Take away our bent to sinning;
Alpha and Omega be;
end of faith, as its beginning,
set our hearts at liberty.
3. Come, Almighty to deliver,
let us all thy life receive;
suddenly return and never,
nevermore thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
serve thee as thy hosts above,
pray and praise thee without ceasing,
glory in thy perfect love.
4. Finish, then, thy new creation;
pure and spotless let us be.
Let us see thy great salvation
perfectly restored in thee;
changed from glory into glory,
till in heaven we take our place,
till we cast our crowns before thee,
lost in wonder, love, and praise.
