Cyber Hymnal entry for hymn tune "King's Lynn":
Original text and translations
English text
- 1.
- O God of earth and altar, bow down and hear our cry,
- Our earthly rulers falter, our people drift and die;
- The walls of gold entomb us, the swords of scorn divide;
- Take not Thy thunder from us, but take away our pride.
- 2.
- From all that terror teaches, from lies of tongue and pen,
- From all the easy speeches that comfort cruel men;
- From sale and profanation of honor and the sword;
- From sleep and from damnation, deliver us, good Lord!
- 3.
- Tie in a living tether, the prince and priest and thrall;
- Bind all our lives together, smite us and save us all;
- In ire and exultation aflame with faith and free,
- Lift up a living nation, a single sword to Thee.
Lyrics: Gilbert K. Chesterton, in the Commonwealth, 1906.
