In Christ Is Brotherhood Alone
Teach us, O Lord, true brotherhood
Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #524 (1920) Topics: General Brotherhood, Service, Guilds, Parochial Missions Lyrics: 1 Teach us, O Lord, true brotherhood
In daily thought and deed,
That we may tread with humble heart
The path where Thou dost lead.
2 Help us to spurn a life of ease,
While brothers labour long
In mill and mart to give us bread,
And labour without song.
3 Cast from our hearts, O Lord of life,
Our selfishness and pride,
Help us to choose the toiler's part,
And suffer by his side.
4 Give us the courage, Lord, to fight
With Thee all greed of gold,
To fight until Thy kingdom's won,
Thy kingdom long foretold.
5 Love then shall reign supreme o'er all,
O'er heart and mind and hand,
Eternal love and brotherhood
In all this storm-tossed land.
6 With vision clear and steadfast heart
So let us follow Thee,
E'en though it be that weary road
Which leads to Calvary!

In every storm and stress,
Through rolling years Thou art the same,
A God of righteousness.

Their shelter and defence;
They trusted Thy redeeming grace,
Thy strength their confidence.

They still on Thee relied;
No torture could their ardour shake,
And for the truth they died.

Your fathers died in vain?
Thrice No! the martyrs' blood was shed
That freedom you might gain.

Upon life's common way;
The Master's voice still calling,
"Come, walk with Me today";

To him who lives with Thee,
And all of life grows holy,
O Christ of Galilee!

And walks the honest road,
Who trades with heaping measures,
And lifts his brother's load,
Who turns the wrong down bluntly,
And lends the right a hand,
He dwells in God's own country,
He tills the Holy Land.
3 Where human lives are thronging
In toil and pain and sin,
While cloistered hearts are longing
To bring the Kingdom in,
O Christ, the Elder Brother
Of proud and beaten men,
When they have found each other,
Thy Kingdom will come then!
4 Thy ransomed host in glory,
All souls that sin and pray,
Turn toward the cross that bore Thee;
"Behold the Man!" they say;
And while Thy Church is pleading
For all who would do good,
We hear Thy true voice leading
Our song of brotherhood.
Amen. Scripture: Luke 15:32 Tune Title: GREENLAND

In tracings of eternal light,
Upon the hearts of men.

The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth
Know this God rules the host of heaven,
The inhabitants of earth.
3 Have hope: though clouds environ now,
And gladness hides her face in scorn,
Put thou the shadow from thy brow;
No night but hath its morn.
4 Have love: not love alone for one,
But man as man thy brother call,
And scatter like the circling sun
Thy charities on all.

Faith, hope, and love, and thou shalt find
Strength when life's surges rudest roll,
Light when thou else wert blind. Languages: English Tune Title: ELMHURST

The holier worship which He deigns to bless
Restores the lost, and binds the spirit broken,
And feeds the widow and the fatherless!

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.

Source of life and truth and grace,
Son of Man, whose birth incarnate
Hallows all our human race;
Thou our Head, who, throned in glory,
For Thine own dost ever plead,
Fill us with Thy love and pity,
Heal our wrongs, and help our need.
2 As Thou, Lord, hast lived for others,
So may we for others live;
Freely have Thy gifts been granted,
Freely may Thy servants give.
Thine the gold and Thine the silver,
Thine the wealth of land and sea,
We but stewards of Thy bounty
Held in solemn trust for Thee.
3 Come, O Christ, and reign among us,
King of love and Prince of peace;
Hush the storm of strife and passion,
Bid its cruel discords cease.
Ah, the past is dark behind us,
Strewn with wrecks and stained with blood!
But before us gleams the vision
Of the coming brotherhood.
4 See the Christ-like host advancing,
High and lowly, great and small,
Linked in bonds of common service
For the common Lord of all.
Thou who prayedst, Thou who willest
That Thy people should be one,
Grant, O grant our hope’s fruition:
Here on earth Thy will be done.

And bitter lips in blind despair
Cry, "Christ hath died in vain"!

The City that hath stood
Too long a dream, whose laws are love,
Whose ways are brotherhood,
And where the sun that shineth is
God's grace for human good.

That City riseth fair.
Lo, how its splendor challenges
The souls that greatly dare,
Yea, bids us seize the whole of life
And build its glory there!

Firm may she ever stand,
Through storm and night;
When the wild tempests rave,
Ruler of wind and wave,
Do Thou our country save,
By Thy great might!
2 For her our prayer shall rise
To God, above the skies;
On Thee we wait;
Thou who art ever nigh,
Guarding with watchful eye,
To Thee aloud we cry,
God save the State!
3 And not this land alone,
But be Thy mercies known
From shore to shore;
Let all the nations see
That men should brothers be,
And form one family
The wide earth o'er. Languages: English
God bless our native land!
Not alone for mighty empire
Author: Rev. William Pierson Merrill Hymnal: The Hymnal #416 (1950) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 Not alone for mighty empire
Stretching far o'er land and sea,
Not alone for bounteous harvests,
Lift we up our hearts to Thee.
Standing in the living present,
Memory and hope between,
Lord, we would with deep thanksgiving
Praise Thee most for things unseen.
2 Not for battleship and fortress,
Not for conquests of the sword;
But for conquests of the spirit
Give we thanks to Thee, O Lord;
For the priceless gift of freedom,
For the home, the church, the school;
For the open door to manhood
In a land the people rule.
3 For the armies of the faithful,
Souls that passed and left no name;
For the glory that illumines
Patriot lives of deathless fame;
For our prophets and apostles,
Loyal to the living Word,
For all heroes of the Spirit,
Give we thanks to Thee, O Lord.
4 God of justice, save the people
From the clash of race and creed,
From the strife of class and faction:
Make our nation free indeed.
Keep her faith in simple manhood
Strong as when her life began,
Till it find its full fruition
In the brotherhood of man.
Amen. Tune Title: HYFRYDOL

River and mountain spring,
Hark to the advent voice;
Valley and low land, sing;
Though absent long, your Lord is nigh;
He judgment brings and victory.
2 Isles of the Southern seas,
Deep in your coral caves
Pent be each warring breeze,
Lulled be your restless waves:
He comes to reign with boundless sway,
And makes your wastes His great highway.
3 Lands of the East, awake,
Soon shall your sons be free;
The sleep of ages break,
And rise to liberty.
On your far hills, long cold and gray,
Has dawned the everlasting day.
4 Shores of the utmost West,
Ye that have waited long,
Unvisited, unblest,
Break forth to swelling song;
High raise the note, that Jesus died,
Yet lives and reigns, the Crucified.
5 Shout, while ye journey home;
Songs be in every mouth;
Lo, from the North we come,
From East, and West, and South.
City of God, the bond are free,
We come to live and reign in thee!
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 2:8 Tune Title: LITTLE CORNARD
Hills of the North, Rejoice
