O Thou Eternal Christ of God (Hymn)

Tune

O Thou eternal Christ of God,Ride on, ride on, ride on!

Establish Thou forevermore

The triumph now begun.

A mighty host, by Thee redeemed,

Is marching in Thy train,

Thine is the kingdom and the power,

And Thou in love shalt reign.
O holy Savior of mankind,

Ride on, ride on, ride on!

We bear with Thee the scourge and cross

If so Thy will is done.

And be the road uphill or down,

Unbroken or well trod,

We go with Thee to claim and build

A city unto God.
O Thou whose dreams enthrall the heart,

Ride on, ride on, ride on!

Ride on till tyranny and greed

Are evermore undone.

In mart and court and parliament

The common good increase,

Till men at last shall ring the bells

Of brotherhood and peace.
O Thou who art the life and light,

Exalted Lord and King,

We hail Thine august majesty

And loud hosanna sing,

Until in every land and clime

Thine ends of love are won:

O Christ, Redeemer, brother, friend,

Ride on, ride on, ride on!

Nature + culture = Grace!

Coastal Spain seen from the International Space-Station

Astronaut Scott Kelly retired from space travel recently. But when he was still astronaut-ing, he took countless photos of the view from the International Space Station. This shot of coastal Spain shows off how much detail he could see while orbiting the Earth. He took plenty of traditional ‘space’ photos as well, and selfies too (can you blame him?) but many of his photos turn the camera back toward Earth, showing off the amazing colour palette presented by both nature and human settlements.
