O Brother Man, Fold to Your Heart
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 154 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Ecumenism; Other Observances Mission; Other Observances Stewardship; Other Observances World Peace First Line: O brother man, fold to thy heart your brother Lyrics: 1 O brother man, fold to your heart your brother;
Where pity dwells, the peace of God is there;
To worship rightly is to love each other,
Each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer.
2 For he whom Jesus loved has truly spoken:
The holier worship which he deigns to bless
Restores the lost, and binds the spirit broken,
And feeds the widow and the fatherless.
3 Follow with reverent steps the great example
Of him whose holy work was doing good;
So shall the wide earth seem our Father's temple,
Each loving life a psalm of gratitude.
4 Then shall all shackles fall; the stormy clangor
Of wild war music o'er the earth shall cease;
Love shall tread out the baleful fire of anger,
And in its ashes plant the tree of peace.
Amen. Scripture: Galatians 6:2 Used With Tune: WELWYN

Wisdom and riches and strength evermore,
Give we to him who our battle has won,
Whose are the kingdom, the crown, and the throne.

While rings the earth with his glory and fame;
Ocean and mountain, stream, forest, and flower
Echo His praises and tell of his power.
3 Ever ascending the song and the prayer;
Ever descending the love that we share;
Blessing and honor and glory and praise—
This is the theme of the hymns that we raise.
4 Give we the glory and praise to the Lamb;
Take we the robe and the harp and the palm;
Sing we the song of the Lamb that was slain,
Dying in weakness, but rising to reign.

Let me be a fit partaker
Of this blessed food from heaven,
For our good, your glory, given.

Trusted friend and dearest treasure,

As your guest in heaven receive me.

Whate'er Our God Ordains Is Right
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Samuel Rodigast Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.8.8 Appears in 77 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Reformation Day Lyrics: 1 Whate'er our God ordains is right;
His holy will abiding;
We will be still, whate'er he does,
And follow where he's guiding.
He is our God;
Though dark our road,
He holds us that we shall not fall;
Wherefore to him we leave it all.
2 Whate'er our God ordains is right;
He never will deceive us.
He leads us by the proper path;
We know he will not leave us,
And take, content,
What he has sent;
His hand can turn our griefs away,
And patiently we wait his day.
3 Whate'er our God ordains is right;
Here shall our stand be taken;
Though sorrow, need, or death be ours,
Yet we are not forsaken;
Our Father's care
Is round us there;
He holds us that we shall not fall,
And so to him we leave it all.

Your tents shall be our home:

Your grace has made us strong,
And now, O King eternal,
We lift our battle song.

Till sin's fierce war shall cease,
And Holiness shall whisper
The sweet Amen of peace;
For not with swords' loud clashing,
Nor roll of stirring drums,
But deeds of love and mercy,
The heavenly kingdom comes.
3 Lead on, O King eternal:
We follow, not with fears;
For gladness breaks like morning
Where'er your face appears;
Thy cross is lifted o'er us;
We journey in its light:
The crown awaits the conquest;
Lead on, O God of might.

Once to Every Man and Nation
Author: James Russell Lowell Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 213 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Reformation Day; Other Observances Stewardship Lyrics: 1 Once to every man and nation
Comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of truth with falsehood,
For the good or evil side;
Some great cause, God's new Messiah,
Offering each the bloom or blight,
And the choice goes by forever
'Twixt that darkness and that light.
2 Then to side with truth is noble,
When we share her wretched crust,
Ere her cause bring fame and profit,
And 'tis prosperous to be just;
Then it is the brave man chooses
While the coward stands aside,
Till the multitude make virtue
Of the faith they had denied.
3 By the light of burning martyrs,
Christ, your bleeding feet we track,
Toiling up new Calvaries ever
With the cross that turns not back;
New occasions teach new duties,
Time makes ancient good uncouth;
They must upward still and onward,
Who would keep abreast of truth.
4 Though the cause of evil prosper,
Yet 'tis truth alone is strong;
Though her portion be the scaffold,
And upon the throne be wrong,
Yet that scaffold sways the future,
And, behind the dim unknown,
Stands our God within the shadow
Keeping watch above his own.
Amen. Scripture: Joshua 24:14-15 Used With Tune: EBENEZER (TON-Y-BOTEL)

Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation
Author: John Mason Neale Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 300 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Mission Lyrics: 1 Christ is made the sure Foundation,
Christ the head and cornerstone,
Chosen of the Lord and precious,
Binding all the church in one;
Holy Zion's help forever,
And her confidence alone.

Come, O Lord of Hosts, today!
With your wonted loving-kindness
Hear your people as they pray,
And your fullest benediction
Shed within its walls alway.
3 Here bestow on all your servants
What they ask of you to gain:
What they gain from you forever
With the blessed to retain,
And hereafter in your glory
Evermore with you to reign.
4 Laud and honor to the Father,
Laud and honor to the Son,
Laud and honor to the Spirit,
Ever Three and ever One;
One in might, and One in glory,
While unending ages run.

Christ, Whose Glory Fills the Skies
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 489 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Christian Education Lyrics: 1 Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
Christ, the true, the only light,
Sun of righteousness, arise,
Triumph o'er the shades of night;
Day-spring from on high, be near;
Day-star, in my heart appear.
2 Dark and cheerless is the morn
Unaccompanied by thee;
Joyless is the day's return
Till thy mercy's beams I see,
Till they inward light impart,
Glad my eyes and warm my heart.
3 Visit, then, this soul of mine;
Pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
Fill me, Radiancy divine;
Scatter all my unbelief;
More and more thyself display,
Shining to the perfect day.
Amen. Scripture: Luke 1:78-79 Used With Tune: RATISBON
