The City of God.
CITY of God, how broad and far Outspread thy walls sublime! The true thy chartered freemen are, Of every age and clime.
One holy Church, one army strong, One steadfast high intent, One working band, one harvest-song, One King Omnipotent!
How purely hath thy speech come down From man's primeval youth! How grandly hath thine empire grown Of Freedom, Love, and Truth!
How gleam thy watchfires through the night, With never-fainting ray!
How rise thy towers, serene and bright, To meet the dawning day!
In vain the surge's angry shock, In vain the drifting_sands;
Unharmed, upon the Eternal Rock, The Eternal City stands.

HUMMEL. p. 8.
The Church Universal.
ONE holy Church of God appears Through every age and race, Unwasted by the lapse of years, Unchanged by changing place.
From oldest time, on farthest shores, Beneath the pine or palm, One Unseen Presence she adores, With silence or with psalm.
Her priests are all God's faithful sons, To serve the world raised up; The pure in heart her baptized ones, Love, her communion-cup.
The truth is her prophetic gift, The soul her sacred page;
And feet on mercy's errands swift Do make her pilgrimage.
O living Church! thine errand speed; Fulfil thy task sublime;
With bread of life earth's hunger feed; Redeem the evil time!

The Unity of the Spirit.
ETERNAL Ruler of the ceaseless round Of circling planets singing on their way, Guide of the nations from the night profound Into the glory of the perfect day, Rule in our hearts that we may ever be Guided and strengthened and upheld by thee! We would be one in hatred of all wrong, One in our love of all things sweet and fair, One with the joy that breaketh into song, One with the grief that trembles into prayer, One in the power that makes thy children free
To follow truth, and thus to follow thee!
The Truth endureth and is strong.
GREAT is the earth, O God! But mightier still is Truth; As thou endurest, so it stands Strong in eternal youth.
High is the pure, blue heaven; Truth is more pure and high; All angels bless its righteousness, All men repeat the cry.
Unerring moves the sun, But Truth is surer yet;
The nations, quickened in its course, Shall die ere Truth be set.
Transient are human works, Imperfect, human thought; We perish in unrighteousness, If Truth inspire us not.
OLD HUNDREDTH, p. 17. Church Anniversary.
ETERNAL One, the living God, Whom changing years unchanged reveal, With thee their way our fathers trod; The hand they held, in ours we feel!
The same our trust, the same our need, In sorrow's stress, in duty's hour; We keep their faith, if not their creed, That faith the fount of all our power!
206 For all thy saints, O God
Abide with me, fast falls the eventide. Again as evening's shadow falls Ah, why should bitter tears be shed A kind loving Father we have Alas for him who lives in vain Alas the outer emptiness
All around us fair with flowers All people that on earth do dwell Almighty God, in humble prayer Another fleeting day is gone
As pants the hart for cooling streams As the sun's enlivening eye A voice by Jordan's shore.
A voice upon the midnight air Awake, my soul, lift up thine eyes Awake, my soul, stretch every nerve Awake, our souls, away, our fears A wondrous star, our pioneer
Bear on, my soul, the bitter cross Beneath the shadow of the cross Be thou, O God, by night, by day Blest are the pure in heart Burst thy shackles, drop thy clay By cool Siloam's shady rill
Child, amidst the flowers at play City of God, how broad and far
Come, brothers, let us go Come, deck our feast to-day
239 For mercies past we praise thee, Lord 173 From all that dwell below the skies. 126 From heart to heart, from creed to creed 103 From heaven above to earth I come 140

Glory to thee, my God, this night 100 God bless our native land

25 Unite, my roving thoughts, unite 275 Up to the throne of God is borne 227
197 We are living, we are dwelling 27 We know no life, divided. 61 We stand unto our God how near 121 We the seekers, the beginners 224 We walk amid thy beauty forth. 225 What is this that stirs within
Tho' hearts brood o'er the past, our eyes Tho' I speak with angel tongues Thou art, O God, the life and light Thou divine and peaceful Guest. Thou Grace divine, encircling all Thou great and sacred Lord of all Thou hidden love of God, whose height Thou hidden Source of calm repose Thou Lord of hosts, whose guiding hand Thou Lord, who rear'st the mountain's height Thou Lord, whose never-changing might Thou Power and Peace, in whom we find Thou who, immutable and one Thou whose glad summer yields.
249 When across the inward thought 68 While thee I seek, protecting Power 47 While the stars unnumbered roll 34 Within thy circling arms I lie
