Lord, Our Lord, Thy Glorious Name
Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 37 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, our Lord, Thy glorious Name
All Thy wondrous works proclaim;
In the heavens with radiant signs
Evermore Thy glory shines.
2 Infant lips Thou dost ordain
Wrath and vengeance to restrain;
Weakest means fulfill Thy will,
Mighty enemies to still.
3 Moon and stars in shining height
Nightly tell their Maker’s might;
Human strength cannot compare
With the glory present there.
4 What are we that we should be
Loved and visited by Thee,
Raised to an exalted height,
Crowned with honor in Thy sight?
5 With dominion crowned we stand,
O’er the creatures of Thy hand,
All to us subjection yield
In the sea and air and field.
6 Lord our Lord, Thy glorious name,
All Thy wondrous works proclaim;
Thine the name of matchless worth,
Excellent in all the earth.

Not for Tongues of Heaven's Angels
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Meter: 8.7.8.7.6 Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Not for tongues of heaven's angels,
Not for wisdom to discern,
Not for faith that masters mountains;
For this better gift we yearn:
May love be ours, O Lord.
2 Love is humble, love is gentle,
Love is tender, true, and kind;
Love is gracious, ever-patient,
Generous of heart and mind:
May love be ours, O Lord.
3 Never jealous, never selfish,
Love will not rejoice in wrong;
Never boastful nor resentful,
Love believes and suffers long:
May love be ours, O Lord.
4 In the day this world is fading
Faith and hope will play their part;
But when Christ is seen in glory
Love shall reign in every heart:
May love be ours, O Lord.

O Savior, in This Quiet Place
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Savior, in this quiet place,
Where anyone may kneel,
I also come to ask for grace,
Believing You can heal.
2 If pain of body, stress of mind,
Destroys my inward peace,
In prayer for others may I find
The secret of release.
3 If self upon its sickness feeds
And turns my life to gall,
Let me not brood upon my needs,
But simply tell You all.
4 You never said, "You ask too much,"
To any troubled soul.
I long to feel Your healing touch;
Will You not make me whole?
5 But if the thing I most desire
Is not Your way for me,
May faith, when tested in the fire,
Prove its integrity.
6 Of all my prayers, may this be chief:
Till faith is fully grown,
Lord, disbelieve my unbelief,
And claim me as Your own. Scripture: Luke 18:9-14 Used With Tune: ST. STEPHEN

God's will be done.
In the help we give our neighbor,
God's will be done.
In our worldwide task of caring
For the hungry and despairing,
In the harvests we are sharing,
God's will be done.
3 For the harvests of the Spirit,
Thanks be to God.
For the good we all inherit,
Thanks be to God.
For the wonders that astound us,
For the truths that still confound us,
Most of all that love has found us,
Thanks be to God.

With gladness and mirth, we praise Your great name;
For now in Your people good pleasure You seek,
With robes of salvation You cover the meek.

With song in the night high praises accord;
Go forth in God's service and strong in God's might
To conquer all evil and stand for the right.

But over the earth their power shall prevail;
All kingdoms and nations shall yield to their sway.
To God give the glory; sing praises for aye.

O Day of Peace
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 22 hymnals First Line: O day of peace that dimly shines Lyrics: 1 O day of peace that dimly shines
Through all our hopes and prayers and dreams,
Guide us to justice, truth, and love,
Delivered from our selfish schemes.
May swords of hate fall from our hands,
Our hearts from envy find release,
Till by God's grace our warring world
Shall see Christ's promised reign of peace.
2 Then shall the wolf dwell with the lamb,
Nor shall the fierce devour the small;
As beasts and cattle calmly graze,
A little child shall lead them all.
Then enemies shall learn to love,
All creatures find their true accord;
The hope of peace shall be fulfilled,
For all the earth shall know the Lord. Scripture: Isaiah 11:6-9 Used With Tune: JERUSALEM
O Day of Peace
We Walk by Faith and Not by Sight
Author: Henry Alford Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 74 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We walk by faith and not by sight;
No gracious words we hear
From Christ Who spoke as none e’er spoke;
But we believe Him near.
2 We may not touch His hands and side,
Nor follow where He trod;
But in His promise we rejoice,
And cry, “My Lord and God!”
3 Help then, O Lord, our unbelief;
And may our faith abound
To call on You when You are near
And seek where You are found:
4 That, when our life of faith is done,
In realms of clearer light
We may behold You as You are,
With full and endless sight.
Scripture: Isaiah 55:6 Used With Tune: DUNLAP'S CREEK
