090 – Eternal God, Whose Power Upholds

1

Eternal God, whose power upholds

Both flower and flaming star,

To whom there is no here nor there,

No time, no near nor far,

No alien race, no foreign shore,

No child unsought, unknown:

O send us forth, Your prophets true,

To make all lands Your own!

2

O God of truth, whom science seeks

And reverent souls adore,

Illumine every earnest mind

Of every clime and shore:

Dispel the gloom of error’s night,

Of ignorance and fear,

Until true wisdom from above

Shall make life’s pathway clear!

3

O God of beauty, oft revealed

In dreams of human art,

In speech that flows to melody,

In holiness of heart:

Teach us to ban al ugliness,

And all disharmony,

Till all shall know the loveliness

Of lives made fair and free!

4

O God of righteousness and grace,

Seen in the Christ, Your Son,

Whose life and death reveal

Your face, By whom

Your will was done;

Help us to spread

Your gracious reign

Till greed and hate shall cease,

And kindness dwell in human hearts,

And all the earth find peace!
