Rescue the Perishing
Author: Frances J. Van Alstyne Appears in 812 hymnals Topics: Temperance and National Temperance First Line: Rescue the perishing, care for the dying Refrain First Line: Rescue the perishing, care for the dying Lyrics: 1 Rescue the perishing, care for the dying,
Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave;
Weep o’er the erring one, lift up the fallen,
Tell them of Jesus the mighty to save.
Chorus:
Rescue the perishing, care for the dying;
Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.
2 Though they are slighting Him, still He is waiting,
Waiting the penitent child to receive:
Plead with them earnestly, plead with them gently;
He will forgive if they only believe. [Chorus]
3 Down in the human heart, crushed by the tempter;
Feelings lie buried that grace can restore;
Touched by a loving hand, wakened by kindness,
Chords that were broken will vibrate once more. [Chorus]
4 Rescue the perishing, duty demands it;
Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide:
Back to the narrow way patiently win them;
Tell the poor wand’rer a Savior has died. [Chorus]

O God of Every Nation
Author: William W. Reid, Jr. Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Nation 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.

Psalm 115
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Nation and Society First Line: Not to us be glory given Lyrics: 1 Not to us be glory given
but to him who reigns above:
Glory to the God of heaven
for his faithfulness and love!
What though unbelieving voices
hear no word and see no sign,
still in God my heart rejoices,
working out his will divine.
2 Not what human fingers fashion,
gold and silver, deaf and blind,
dead to knowledge and compassion,
having neither heart nor mind,
lifeless gods, some yet adore them,
nerveless hands and feet of clay;
all become, who bow before them,
lost indeed, and dead as they.
3 Not in them the hope of blessing,
hope is in the living Lord:
High and low, his Name confessing,
find in him their shield and sword.
Hope of all whose hearts revere him,
God of Israel, still the same!
God of Aaron! Those who fear him,
he remembers them by name.
4 Not the dead, but we the living
praise the Lord with all our powers;
of his goodness freely giving,
his is heaven; earth is ours.
Not to us be glory given
but to him who reigns above:
glory to the God of heaven
for his faithfulness and love! Scripture: Psalm 115 Used With Tune: LUX EOI

God of freedom, God of justice
Author: Shirley Erena Murray (b. 1931) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Nation and Society Lyrics: 1 God of freedom, God of justice,
you whose love is strong as death,
you who saw the dark of prison,
you who knew the price of faith —
touch our world of sad oppression
with your Spirit's healing breath.
2 Rid the earth of torture's terror,
you whose hands were nailed to wood,
hear the cries of pain and protest,
you who shed the tears and blood —
move in us the power of pity
restless for the common good.
3 Make in us a captive conscience
quick to hear, to act, to plead;
make us truly sisters, brothers
of whatever race or creed —
teach us to be fully human,
open to each other's need. Scripture: Song of Solomon 8:6-7 Used With Tune: RHUDDLAN
God of freedom, God of justice
