It Is God Who Holds the Nations
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 15.15.15.7 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 9:2 First Line: It is God who holds the nations in the hollow of his hand Lyrics: 1 It is God who hold the nations in the hollow of his hand;
it is God whose light is shining in the darkness of the land;
it is God who builds his City on the Rock and not on sand:
may the living God be praised!
2 It is God whose purpose summons us to use the present hour,
who recalls us to our senses when a nation's life turns sour;
in the discipline of freedom we shall know his saving power:
may the living God be praised!
3 When a thankful nation, looking back, has cause to celebrate
those who win our admiration by their service to the state,
when self-giving is a measure of the greatness of the great,
may the living God be praised!
4 God reminds us every sunrise that the world is ours on lease -
for the sake of life tomorrow may our love for it increase;
may all races live together, share its riches, be at peace:
may the living God be praised! Topics: City of God; God Light; Memorial Day Used With Tune: VISION (Davies)

great David's greater Son!
Hail, in the time appointed,
his reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
to set the captive free,
to take away transgression,
and rule in equity.
2 He comes with rescue speedy
to those who suffer wrong,
to help the poor and needy
and bid the weak be strong,
to give them songs for sighing,
their darkness turn to light,
whose souls, condemned and dying,
are precious in his sight.
3 Kings shall bow down before him
and gold and incense bring;
all nations shall adore him,
his praise all people sing.
To him shall prayer unceasing
and daily vows ascend,
his kingdom still increasing,
a kingdom without end.
4 O'er ev'ry foe victorious,
he on his throne shall rest,
from age to age more glorious,
all blessing and all-blest.
The tide of time shall never
his covenant remove;
his name shall stand forever —
that name to us is Love. Topics: Epiphany Used With Tune: FREUT EUCH, IHR LIEBEN CHRISTEN

songs of praise shall hail their birth.

till that glorious kingdom come?

Earth, tell it out abroad,
the Passover of gladness,

from sin’s dominion free,
our Christ has brought us over
with hymns of victory.

that we may see aright
the Lord in rays eternal
of resurrection light,
and listening to his accents,
may hear, so calm and plain,
his own “All hail!” and hearing,
may raise the victor strain.
3 Now let the heavens be joyful;
let earth its song begin;
the round world keep high triumph
and all that is therein.
Let all things seen and unseen
their notes of gladness blend,
for Christ the Lord has risen,
our joy that has no end. Topics: Christian Year Easter Vigil; Christian Year Resurrection/Easter; Jesus Christ Resurrection; Christian Year Easter Used With Tune: LANCASHIRE
