February 28, 2016 — Third Sunday in Lent

HYMN #289 O God of Every Nation is a fervent prayer for God’s peace to reign over the whole world. The text prays for truth, love, and justice to preside over world affairs, and for an end to warfare with its “trust in bombs that shower destruction.” The final stanza illustrates the vision of a new heaven and earth in which ”Christ shall rule victorious” and war and hatred shall cease.
