God of Our Life, Through All the Circling Years
Author: Hugh T. Kerr Hymnal: The Worshipbook #395 (1972) Meter: 10.4.10.4.10.10 Topics: Civil Year Memorial Day Lyrics: 1 God of our life, through all the circling years,
We trust in you;
In all the past, through all our hopes and fears,
Your hand we view.
With each new day, when morning lifts the veil,
We own your mercies, Lord, which never fail.
2 God of the past, our times are in your hand;
With us abide.
Lead us by faith to hope's true Promised Land;
Be now our guide.
With you to bless, the darkness shines as light,
And faith's fair vision changes into sight.
3 God of the coming years, through paths unknown
We follow you;
When we are strong, Lord, leave us not alone;
Our faith renew.
Be now for us in life our daily bread,
Our heart's true home when all our years have sped.
Amen. Scripture: 2 Peter 3:8 Tune Title: WITMER

My Country, 'Tis of Thee
Author: Samuel F. Smith Hymnal: The Worshipbook #476 (1972) Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Topics: Civil Year Memorial Day Lyrics: 1 My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountainside
Let freedom ring.
2 My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills;
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above.
3 Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song:
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.
4 Our fathers' God, to thee,
Author of liberty,
To thee we sing;
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by thy might,
Great God, our King.
Amen. Tune Title: AMERICA

O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go
Author: George Matheson Hymnal: The Worshipbook #519 (1972) Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Topics: Civil Year Memorial Day Lyrics: 1 O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.

I yield my flickering torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine's blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.
3 O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be.
4 O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.

Is his, is his by right,
The King of kings, and Lord of lords,
And heaven's eternal light.

The joy of all below
To whom he manifests his love,
And grants his name to know.
4 To them the cross, with all its shame,
With all its grace, is given;
Their name an everlasting name,
Their joy the joy of heaven.

We seek you as your saints have sought
In every generation.

Their song to us descending;
The Spirit who in them did sing
To us is music lending:
His song in them, in us, is one;
We raise it high, we send it on.
The song is never ending.

The same sweet theme endeavor;
Unbroken be the golden chain!
Keep on the song forever!
Safe in the same dear dwelling place,
Rich with the same eternal grace,
Bless the same boundless Giver.

Eternal Ruler of the Ceaseless Round
Author: John W. Chadwick Hymnal: The Worshipbook #358 (1972) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Topics: Civil Year Memorial Day Lyrics: 1 Eternal Ruler of the ceaseless round
Of circling planets singing on their way,
Guide of the nations from the night profound
Into the glory of the perfect day,
Rule in our hearts, that we may ever be
Guided and strengthened and upheld by thee.
2 We are of thee, the children of thy love,
The brothers of thy well-beloved Son;
Descend, O Holy Spirit, like a dove
Into our hearts, that we may be as one:
As one with thee, to whom we ever tend;
As one with him our brother and our friend.
3 We would be one in hatred of all wrong,
One in our love of all things sweet and fair,
One with the joy that breaketh into song,
One with the grief that trembleth into prayer,
One in the power that makes thy children free
To follow truth, and thus to follow thee.
4 O clothe us with thy heavenly armor, Lord,
Thy trusty shield, thy sword of love divine;
Our inspiration be thy constant word;
We ask no victories that are not thine;
Give or withhold, let pain or pleasure be,
Enough to know that we are serving thee.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 40:10-11 Tune Title: SONG 1

In duty's path go on.
Walk in his strength with faith and hope,
So shall your work be done.
4 Leave to his sovereign sway
To choose and to command;
So you shall, faithful, seek his way—
How wise, how strong his hand!
