The LORD Ever Answer Your Cries of Distress

Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Nation Lyrics: 1 The LORD ever answer your cries of distress; may Jacob's God keep you, whose name you confess. God send you relief from his holiest place, and grant you from Zion support by his grace. 2 And may he remember each sacrifice made, accept on the altar your offerings laid, fulfill, in his love, the desire of your heart— success to each one of your plans to impart. 3 With joy we will shout when your vict'ry is won; we'll lift up our banners in God's name alone. The LORD in his mercy receive your request, and grant your petitions as seems to him best. 4 Now truly I know that the LORD from above protects his anointed in covenant love; from heaven he hears and attends to his cry, and saves by the pow'r of his right hand on high. 5 In horses or chariots some trust for defense; the name of the LORD is our strong confidence. They're brought to their knees, while in strength we arise. O prosper the king, LORD, and answer our cries! Scripture: Psalm 20 Used With Tune: ST. DENIO Text Sources: Scottish Psalter, alt.

Isaiah the Prophet Has Written of Old

Author: Joy F. Patterson Meter: 11.8.11.8 D Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: Nation Lyrics: 1 Isaiah the prophet has written of old how God's new creation shall come, instead of the thorn tree the fir tree shall grow; the wolf shall lie down with the lamb. The mountains and hills shall break forth into song, the peoples be led forth in peace, for the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of God as the waters cover the sea. 2 Yet nations still prey on the meek of the world, and conflict turns parent from child. Your people despoil all the sweetness of earth; the brier and the thorn tree grow wild. God, bring to fruition your will for the earth, that no one shall hurt or destroy, when wisdom and justice shall reign in the land and your people shall go forth in joy. Used With Tune: SAMANTHRA

Weep for the Dead

Author: Brian Wren Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Nation First Line: Weep for the dead. Let tears and silence tell Lyrics: 1 Weep for the dead. Let tears and silence tell f blood and battle, horror and renown. The years diminish, but do not dispel the pain of lives destroyed, and life laid down. 2 Silent the dead. Remembering, we stand silent as they, for words cannot esteem causes of war, the love of native land, all that they were, and all they might have been. 3 Raising our flag, we stand with muffled drum, judged by the colours of God's love and loss, recalling, as we pray, "Your Kingdom come," a purple robe, and blood upon a cross. 4 Summoned by love that leaves no room for pride, we pray that every continent and isle, wounded by war, war's hate may lay aside, and find a way to heal and reconcile. 5 Weep for the dead, from all the ills of earth. Stand by the cross that bids all hatred cease. March to the drums of dignity and worth. Salute the King of Love, the Prince of Peace. Used With Tune: HARRIS
