Eternal God, Whose Power Upholds

Author: Henry Hallam Tweedy Hymnal: The Hymnbook #485 (1955) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Kingdom of God on Earth, The World Friendship and Peace Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, whose power upholds Both flower and flaming star, To whom there is no here nor there, No time, no near nor far, No alien race, no foreign shore, No child unsought, unknown: O send us forth, Thy prophets true, To make all lands Thine own! 2 O God of love, whose spirit wakes In every human breast, Whom love, and love alone, can know, In whom all hearts find rest: Help us to spread Thy gracious reign Till greed and hate shall cease, And kindness dwell in human hearts, And all the earth find peace! 3 O God of truth, whom science seeks And reverent souls adore, Who lightest every earnest mind Of every clime and shore: Dispel the gloom of error's night, Of ignorance and fear, Until true wisdom from above Shall make life's pathway clear! 4 O God of beauty, oft revealed In dreams of human art, In speech that flows to melody, In holiness of heart: Teach us to ban all ugliness That blinds our eyes to Thee, Till all shall know the loveliness Of lives made fair and free! 5 O God of righteousness and grace, Seen in the Christ, Thy Son, Whose life and death reveal Thy face, By whom Thy will was done: Inspire Thy heralds of good news To live Thy life divine, Till Christ is formed in all mankind And every land is Thine! Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 11:9 Tune Title: FOREST GREEN

Father Eternal, Ruler of Creation

Author: Laurence Housman Hymnal: The Hymnbook #486 (1955) Meter: 11.10.11.10.10 Topics: Kingdom of God on Earth, The World Friendship and Peace Lyrics: 1 Father eternal, Ruler of creation, Spirit of life, which moved ere form was made; Through the thick darkness covering every nation, Light to man's blindness, O be Thou our aid: Thy Kingdom come, O Lord, Thy will be done. 2 Races and peoples, lo! we stand divided, And sharing not our griefs, no joy can share; By wars and tumults Love is mocked, derided, His conquering cross no kingdom wills to bear: Thy Kingdom come, O Lord, Thy will be done. 3 Envious of heart, blind-eyed, with tongues confounded, Nation by nation still goes unforgiven; In wrath and fear, by jealousies surrounded, Building proud towers which shall not reach to heaven: Thy Kingdom come, O Lord, Thy will be done. 4 How shall we love Thee, holy, hidden Being, If we love not the world which Thou hast made? O give us brother love for better seeing Thy Word made flesh, and in a manger laid: Thy Kingdom come, O Lord, Thy will be done. Amen. Scripture: Matthew 6:10 Tune Title: LANGHAM
