It is God who holds the nations in the hollow of his hand
Author: Frederick Pratt Green (1903-2000) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #705 (2005) Meter: 15.15.15.6 Topics: The Holy Spirit The Church Celebrates - National Life Lyrics: 1 It is God who hold the nations in the hollow of his hand;
it is God whose light is shining in the darkness of the land;
it is God who builds the city on the Rock and not on sand:
may the living God be praised!
2 It is God whose purpose summons us to use the present hour;
who recalls us to our senses when a nation's life turns sour;
in the discipline of freedom we shall know his saving power:
may the living God be praised!
3 When a thankful nation, looking back, has cause to celebrate
those who win our admiration by their service to the state;
when self-giving is a measure of the greatness of the great:
may the living God be praised!
4 God reminds us every sunrise that the world is ours on lease --
for the sake of life tomorrow may our love for it increase;
may all peoples live together, share its riches, be at peace:
may the living God be praised! Scripture: 1 Peter 2:13-17 Languages: English Tune Title: VISION

Lord, we pray with one accord;
for a just and equal sharing
of the things that earth affords.
To a life of love in action
help us rise and pledge our word.
2 Lead us forward into freedom,
from despair your world release,
that, redeemed from war and hatred,
all may come and go in peace.
Show us how through care and goodness
fear will die and hope increase.

let it from the earth be banned;
pride of status, race, or schooling,
dogmas that obscure your plan.
In our common quest for justice
may we hallow life's brief span.
4 You, Creator-God, have written
your great name on humankind;
for our growing in your likeness
bring the life of Christ to mind;
that by our response and service
earth its destiny may find. Scripture: Galatians 5:26 Languages: English Tune Title: TRIUMPH

O God of Every Nation
Author: William W. Reid, Jr. Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #422 (1990) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: God in Society National Life; National Life Lyrics: 1 O God of every nation,
of every race and land,
redeem the whole creation
with your almighty hand;
where hate and fear divide us
and bitter threats are hurled,
in love and mercy guide us,
and heal our strife-torn world.
2 From search for wealth and power
and scorn of truth and right,
from trust in bombs that shower
destruction through the night,
from pride of race and nation
and blindness to your way,
deliver every nation,
eternal God, we pray!
3 Lord, strengthen all who labor
that we may find release
from fear of rattling saber,
from dread of war's increase.
When hope and courage falter,
Lord, let your voice be heard;
with faith that none can alter,
your servants undergird.
4 Keep bright in us the vision
of days when war shall cease,
when hatred and division
give way to love and peace,
till dawns the morning glorious
when truth and justice reign,
and Christ shall rule victorious
o'er all the world's domain. Scripture: Psalm 67:3 Languages: English Tune Title: LLANGLOFFAN

Thy ways of blessedness, slighted Thy word;
Bid not Thy wrath in its terrors awaken:
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord!
4 God, the All-righteous one! man hath defied Thee;
Yet to eternity standeth Thy word;
Falsehood and wrong shall not tarry beside Thee:
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord!
5 God, the All-wise! by the fire of Thy chastening,
Earth shall to freedom and peace be restored;
Through the thick darkness Thy Kingdom is hastening;
Thou wilt give peace in Thy time, O Lord!
6 So shall Thy children, with thankful devotion,
Praise Him who saved them from peril and sword,
Singing in chorus from ocean to ocean,
Peace to the nations, and praise to the Lord.
