Open my eyes that I may see
O God of Every Nation
Author: William W. Reid, Jr., b.1923 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: Understanding First Line: O God of ev'ry nation Lyrics: 1 O God of ev'ry nation,
Of ev'ry 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 station
And blindness to your way,
Deliver ev'ry nation,
Eternal God, we pray.
3 Lord, strengthen those who labor
That all 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: Isaiah 2:4 Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE

We'll Understand It Better By and By
Author: Charles A. Tindley, 1851-1933 Meter: 7.7.15.7.7.11 with refrain Appears in 103 hymnals Topics: Understanding First Line: We are often tossed and driv'n Refrain First Line: By and by when the morning comes Lyrics: 1 We are often tossed and driv'n
On the restless sea of time.
Somber skies and howling tempests
oft succeed a bright sunshine.
In that land of perfect day,
When the mists have rolled away,
We will understand it better by and by.
Refrain:
By and by when the morning comes,
When the saints of God are gathered home,
We will tell the story how we've overcome;
For we'll understand it better by and by.
2 We are often destitute
Of the things that life demands.
Want of food and want of shelter,
thirsty hills and barren lands.
We are trusting in the Lord,
And according to his Word,
We will understand it better by and by. [Refrain]
3 Trials dark on ev'ry hand,
And we cannot understand,
All the ways that God would lead us
to that blessed Promised Land.
But he guides us with his eye
And we'll follow till we die.
For we'll understand it better by and by. [Refrain]
4 Temptations, hidden snares
Often take us unawares,
And our hearts are made to bleed
for some thoughtless word or deed.
And we wonder why the test
When we try to do our best,
But we'll understand it better by and by. [Refrain] Scripture: Psalm 32:8 Used With Tune: BY AND BY
We'll Understand It Better By and By

gathering pebbles colored by the wave;
while the great sea of truth, from sky to sky
stretches before us, boundless unexplored. Used With Tune: SHELDONIAN
