Friend, and Sav-iour of our race, And where a- mong the guests there nev-er

[merged small][merged small][ocr errors]

One who can hold such high and honored place. A-MEN.

2 O happy home, where two in heart united
In holy faith and blessed hope are one,
Whom death a little while alone divideth,
And cannot end the union here begun.

3 O happy home, where each one serves Thee, lowly,
Whatever his appointed work may be,

Till every common task seems great and holy,
When it is done, O Lord, as unto Thee.

4 O happy home, where Thou art not forgotten
When joy is overflowing, full, and free;
O happy home, where every wounded spirit
Is brought, Physician, Comforter, to Thee,

(LOUVAN)

5 Until at last, when earth's day's work is ended
All meet Thee in the blessed home above,
From whence Thou camest, where Thou hast ascended,
Thy everlasting home of peace and love.

4 The noontide sunshine of the past,
These brief, bright moments fading fast,
The stars that gild our darkening years,
The twilight ray from holier spheres:

Tr. Sarah Borthwick Findlater

5 We thank Thee, Father! let Thy grace
Our loving circle still embrace,
Thy mercy shed its heavenly store,
Thy peace be with us evermore.

1. God of our fa-thers, known of old, Lord of our far-flung battle line,

Organ 9:263 2 bb 4

Ped.

Be-neath whose awful hand we hold Do- min-ion 0

ver palm and pine:

Lord God of hosts, be with us yet, Lest we for-get,

lest we for-get.

A-MEN.

2 The tumult and the shouting dies; The captains and the kings depart; Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,

An humble and a contrite heart: Lord God of hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget.

3 Far-called our navies melt away,

4 If drunk with sight of power, we loose Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe, Such boasting as the Gentiles use

Or lesser breeds without the law: Lord God of hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget.

5 For heathen heart that puts her trust

On dune and headland sinks the fire; In reeking tube and iron shard;

Lo, all our pomp of yesterday

Is one with Nineveh and Tyre! Judge of the nations, spare us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget.

All valiant dust that builds on dust,

And guarding calls not Thee to guard; For frantic boast and foolish word, Thy mercy on Thy people, Lord!

Rudyard Kipling, 1897

And when they trod the win-try strand, With pray'r and psalm they worship'd Thee. A-MEN.

1. O God of Love, O King of Peace, Make wars thro'-out the world to cease;

The wrath of sin - ful man re-strain; Give peace, O God, give peace again. A-MEN.

2 Remember, Lord, Thy works of old, The wonders that our fathers told; Remember not our sin's dark stain:

Give peace, O God, give peace again. 3 Whom shall we trust but Thee, O Lord? Where rest but on Thy faithful word?

511

None ever called on Thee in vain; Give peace, O God, give peace again.

Where saints and angels dwell above,

All hearts are knit in holy love;

O bind us in that heavenly chain; Give peace, O God, give peace again.

Henry Williams Baker
