The initial scan was from the text edition; the ThML conversion was done from the music edition. The two differ in content and layout:

Orthography -- the text edition "upper-cased" the first word of each hymn; the music edition capitalized pronouns referring to deity. (This edition was edited toward doing neither.)
Contents of first-line index -- the text edition included hymn numbers from the prior two hymnals; the music edition included authors and translators. (The 1892 numbers are proofed from that hymnal; the 1874 numbers are not proofed. Authors and translators are not included.)
The music edition did not contain an index of authors. (It is included here, proofed from other sources where possible. Some errors or oversights in the printed edition were corrected. Death dates of authors after 1916 come, of course, from those other sources.)
This edition places indexes at the end, as in the text edition; the music edition includes them first.
Contents of interspersed topical index -- the text edition often has more entries for "See also the following [hymns]". (This includes the entries from both; as well as the hymns included in situ. The topical index was displaced to the beginning of the topic to better fit the constraints on <divn> tag placement.
Poetic indentation occasionally varied. This follows the music edition (except in a few cases where all verses were included within the musical staff.)
Punctuation frequently varied. This follows the music edition.
The text information apparently didn't include tune suggestions. This includes information on main, alternate, and suggested tunes.

Orthography was edited to facilitate automated or web use:

ThML markup (assuming HTML semantics of whitespace)
Markup to support indexing (author, first line, meter, scripture)
Added a title (first line) to each hymn.
Added numeric meter notation ("8,8,8,8,8,8", etc.)
Added first or middle names for some authors
Made all index entries hyperlinks.
Added links to tunes in the Christian Classics Ethereal Hymnary.

Rubric from the Book of Common Prayer
HYMNS AND ANTHEMS

Hymns set forth and allowed by the authority of this Church, and Anthems in the words of Holy Scripture or of the Book of Common Prayer, may be sung before and after any Office in this Book, and also before and after Sermons.

CANON 46
Of the Music of the Church

It shall be the duty of every Minister to appoint for use in his Congregation hymns or anthems from those authorized by the Rubric, and, with such assistance as he may see fit to employ from persons skilled in music, to give order concerning the tunes to be sung in his Church. It shall be his especial duty to suppress all light and unseemly music, and all irreverence in the performance.

Preface

The General Convention of the year 1913 entrusted to a Commission the revision of the Hymnal. The General Convention of 1916, accepting a book then submitted, referred it back to the Commission with instructions to perfect it and give it to the Church. In its effort to obey this command, the Commission now presents this book.

Some hymns which were in the former collection have been omitted because it was discovered by careful inquiry that they were seldom if ever used. One of the principles of the revision was to make the new book as compact as excellence and variety would permit. Some old hymns which are perhaps below the general standard are retained because they have the affection of a considerable number of people.

The hymns added find a place either because they are great religious verse, or because they express the experience and aspirations of our time. These are hymns intended to voice our yearning for larger social service, for deeper patriotism, for a more eager obligation to the winning and maintaining of a free world, for a higher enthusiasm towards the unity and extension of Christianity. This Hymnal of 1918 cannot escape the marks of the Great War, — its tragedy, its sympathy, its loving sacrifice, its gratitude because God has given us the victory for the right and the true.

The hymns have been arranged as nearly as possible in the Prayer Book order, with the hope that people will recognize that they have a companion for the Book of Common Prayer in a Book of Common Praise.

The Commission has tried to retain and to add such hymns as express reality in the religious life. At the same time there has been generous thought for a wide diversity of temperament and training. From stern simplicity to exuberant emotion, the ways in which men would praise God are manifold. Accordingly there are hymns of objective adoration, august and distant, side by side with hymns which unburden the singer's heart and tell what God has done for him alone.

The members of the Commission charged with the task of selecting the music of the hymns have tried first of all to select music which congregations as well as choristers can sing. The number of sentimental and weak melodies has been reduced. It is hoped that the many fine new tunes will so far win their way that such inferior music as is retained will lose its attraction. By such additions as certain Plainsong settings and tunes for adult male voices, the effort is made to appeal to various temperaments and abilities. No one parish will care to use all the tunes, but out of the book every parish will find a sufficient number for all its needs, which it can sing with enthusiasm. As with the words, so with the music, the Commission has endeavoured to provide a book which will make our Communion a singing Church.

The prayer which goes up with the finishing of the book is that, in spite of its limitations and imperfections, it may bring the Church into greater joy, as the people sing these hymns of the ages to the grateful honor of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost.

Note

“Amen” is printed only with those hymns which are prayer, praise, or otherwise addressed to God. Nevertheless, the necessary music for “Amen” has been supplied throughout, for the use of those who desire it.

The dates throughout this book are arranged as follows, both for the Hymns and the Tunes. A single date, without a hyphen, is the earliest obtainable for the given Hymn or Tune: whether of composition, or of first publication. When such a date is wanting, the dates of the author's or composer's birth and death are given, separated by a hyphen. A date followed by a hyphen is that of birth; preceded by a hyphen, or by the letter d, is that of death. The letter c. (circa), indicates an approximate date.

When no composer is known, the place and date of publication are given when possible.

THE HYMNAL

I. DAILY PRAYER

Morning

Also the following:
1	New every morning is the love
2	Awake, my soul, and with the sun
3	Come, my soul, thou must be waking
4	Christ, whose glory fills the skies
5	Now that the sun is gleaming bright
6	My Father, for another night
7	Forth in thy Name, O Lord, I go
8	Come, Holy Ghost, who ever One
205	Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty

Daily Prayer: Morning

1. New every morning is the love

Werner's Choralbuch, 1815 Christ, whose glory fills the skies, Christ, the true, the only Light, Sun of Righteousness, arise! Triumph o'er the shades of night: Day-spring from on high, be near; Day-star, in my heart appear. Dark and cheerless is the morn Unaccompanied by thee; Joyless is the day's return, Till thy mercy's beams I see; Till they inward light impart, Glad my eyes, and warm my heart. Visit then this soul of mine! Pierce the gloom of sin and grief! Fill me, Radiancy divine; Scatter all my unbelief, More and more thyself display, Shining to the perfect day. Amen. Charles Wesley, 1740

Daily Prayer: Morning

5. Now that the sun is gleaming bright

C.M.

St. Peter:

Alexander R. Reinagle, 1836 Now that the sun is gleaming bright, Implore we, bending low, That he, the uncreated Light May guide us as we go. No sinful word, nor deed of wrong, Nor thoughts that idly rove, But simple truth be on our tongue, And in our hearts be love. And while the hours in order flow, O Christ, securely fence Our gates, beleaguered by the foe, The gate of every sense. And grant that to thine honor, Lord, Our daily toil may tend; That we begin it at thy word, And in thy favor end. Amen. Latin; Tr. John Henry Newman (1836-1838)

Daily Prayer: Morning

6. My Father, for another night

C.M.

St. Timothy:

Henry W. Baker, 1875 My Father, for another night Of quiet sleep and rest, For all the joy of morning light, Thy holy Name be blest. Now with the newborn day I give Myself anew to thee, That as thou willest I may live, And what thou willest be. Whate'er I do, things great or small, Whate'er I speak or frame, Thy glory may I seek in all, Do all in Jesus' Name. My Father, for his sake, I pray Thy child accept and bless; And lead me by thy grace today In paths of righteousness. Amen. Henry W. Baker, 1875

Daily Prayer: Morning

7. Forth in thy Name, O Lord, I go

L.M.

Pixham:

Horatio Parker, 1901 Forth in thy Name, O Lord, I go My daily labour to pursue; Thee, only thee, resolved to know, In all I think, or speak, or do. The task thy wisdom hath assigned, O let me cheerfully fulfill; In all my works thy presence find, And prove thy good and perfect will. Thee may I set at my right hand, Whose eyes my inmost substance see: And labour on at thy command, And offer all my works to thee. Give me to bear thy easy yoke, And every moment watch and pray; And still to things eternal look, And hasten to thy glorious Day. Fain would I still for thee employ Whate'er thy bounteous grace hath given, Would run my course with even joy And closely walk with thee to heaven. Amen. Charles Wesley, 1749

Daily Prayer: Morning

8. Come, Holy Ghost, who ever One

L.M.

Ludborough:

Timothy R. Matthews, 1846 Come, Holy Ghost, who ever One Art with the Father and the Son; Come, Holy Ghost, our souls possess With thy full flood of holiness. In will and deed, by heart and tongue, With all our powers, thy praise be sung; And love light up our mortal frame, Till others catch the living flame. Almighty Father, hear our cry Through Jesus Christ our Lord most high, Who with the Holy Ghost and thee Doth live and reign eternally. Amen. Latin; St. Ambrose (340-397); Tr. John Henry Newman, 1836

Noon

9	Blest are the moments, doubly blest
10	Behold us, Lord, a little space

Daily Prayer: Noon

9. Blest are the moments, doubly blest

L.M.

Wareham:

William Knapp, 1738 Blest are the moments, doubly blest, That drawn from this one hour of rest, Are with a ready heart bestowed Upon the service of our God! Each field is then a hallowed spot, An altar is in each man's cot, A church in every grove that spreads Its living roof above our heads. Look up to heaven, the industrious sun Already half his race hath run: He cannot halt or go astray, But our immortal spirits may. Lord, since his rising in the east, If we have faltered or transgressed, Guide, from thy love's abundant source, What yet remains of this day's course; Help with thy grace, through life's short day, Our upward and our downward way; And glorify for us the west, When we shall sink to final rest. Amen. William Wordsworth, 1834

Daily Prayer: Noon

10. Behold us, Lord, a little space

C.M.

Bedford:

William Wheall, c. 1720 Behold us, Lord, a little space From daily tasks set free, And met within thy holy place To rest awhile with thee. Around us rolls the ceaseless tide Of business, toil, and care; And scarcely can we turn aside For one brief hour of prayer. Yet these are not the only walls Wherein thou mayst be sought; On homeliest work thy blessing falls, In truth and patience wrought. Thine is the loom, the forge, the mart, The wealth of land and sea, The worlds of science and of art, Revealed and ruled by thee. Then let us prove our heavenly birth, In all we do and know; And claim the kingdom of the earth For thee and not thy foe. Work shall be prayer, if all be wrought As thou wouldst have it done, And prayer, by thee inspired and taught, Itself with work be one. Amen. John Ellerton, 1870

Evening

Also the following:
11	O Trinity of blessed light
12	O Brightness of the immortal Father's face
13	The day is gently sinking to a close
14	The radiant morn hath passed away
15	Through the day thy love has spared us
16	Holy Father, cheer our way
17	The sun is sinking fast
18	Abide with me: fast falls the eventide
19	Softly now the light of day
20	Sun of my soul, thou Savior dear
21	The day is past and gone
22	The shadows of the evening hours
23	The day is past and over
24	Savior, breathe an evening blessing
25	All praise to thee, my God, this night
26	God, that madest earth and heaven
27	Now from the altar of my heart
28	Before the ending of the day
29	The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended
30	As now the sun's declining rays
31	Tarry with me, O my Savior
34	Inspirer and hearer of prayer
48	O Savior, bless us ere we go
49	Our day of praise is done
50	Savior, again to thy dear Name we raise
364	Now the day is over
399	At even, when the sun was set
407	One sweetly solemn thought
412	Sunset and evening star

L'Emmanuello:

Lorenzo Perosi, 1903

St. Paul's:

John Erskine, 1917 Tarry with me, O my Savior! For the day is passing by; See! the shades of evening gather, And the night is drawing nigh. Deeper, deeper grow the shadows, Paler now the glowing west, Swift the night of death advances; Shall it be the night of rest? Lonely seems the vale of shadow; Sinks my heart with troubled fear; Give me faith for clearer vision, Speak thou, Lord, in words of cheer. Let me hear thy voice behind me, Calming all these wild alarms; Let me, underneath my weakness, Feel the everlasting arms. Feeble, trembling, fainting, dying, Lord, I cast myself on thee; Tarry with me through the darkness; While I sleep, still watch by me. Tarry with me, O my Savior! Lay my head upon thy breast Till the morning; then awake me! Morning of eternal rest. Amen. Caroline L. Smith, 1853; alt., 1855, 1862

Through the Week

Also the following:
32	From every stormy wind that blows
33	O help us, Lord, each hour of need
34	Inspirer and hearer of prayer
35	While thee I seek, protecting Power
36	Lord, for tomorrow and its needs
37	When morning gilds the skies
38	Three in One, and One in Three
39	Savior, when night involves the skies
40	O Light, whose beams illumine all
41	Lord of mercy and of might
42	Guide me, O thou great Jehovah
118	My soul, be on thy guard
247	Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us
248	Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace
354	Savior, teach me, day by day
372	My God, accept my heart this day

Autumn:

Francois H. Barthelomon, 1785 Guide me, O thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land, I am weak, but thou art mighty; Hold me with thy powerful hand. Open now the crystal fountains Whence the living waters flow; Let the fiery, cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through. Feed me with the heavenly manna In this barren wilderness; Be my sword, and shield, and banner, Be the Lord my Righteousness. When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Death of death, and hell's destruction, Land me safe on Canaan's side. Amen. Welsh; William Williams, 1745; Tr. Peter Williams, 1772; alt. John Keble, 1857

L.M.

Intercession:

Arr. by John B. Dykes, 1853 O Jesus, crucified for man, O Lamb, all glorious on thy throne, Teach thou our wondering souls to scan The mystery of thy love unknown. We pray thee, grant us strength to take Our daily cross, whate'er it be, And gladly for thine own dear sake In paths of pain to follow thee. As on our daily way we go, Through light or shade, in calm or strife, O may we bear thy marks below In conquered sin and chastened life. And week by week this day we ask That holy memories of thy cross May sanctify each common task, And turn to gain each earthly loss. Grant us, dear Lord, our cross to bear Till at thy feet we lay it down, Win through thy blood our pardon there, And through the cross attain the crown. Amen. W. Walsham How, 1871

St. Stephen:

William Jones, 1789 The King shall come when morning dawns, And light triumphant breaks; When beauty gilds the eastern hills, And life to joy awakes. Not as of old a little child To bear, and fight, and die, But crowned with glory like the sun That lights the morning sky. O brighter than the rising morn When he, victorious, rose, And left the lonesome place of death, Despite the rage of foes; O brighter than that glorious morn Shall this fair morning be, When Christ, our King, in beauty comes, And we his face shall see. The King shall come when morning dawns, And earth's dark night is past; O haste the rising of that morn, The day that aye shall last; And let the endless bliss begin, By weary saints foretold, When right shall triumph over wrong, And truth shall be extolled. The King shall come when morning dawns, And light and beauty brings: Hail, Christ the Lord! Thy people pray, Come quickly, King of kings. Amen. Greek; Tr. John Brownlie, 1907

"Fear not," said he, for mighty dread Had seized their troubled mind; "Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and all mankind. "To you, in David's town, this day Is born of David's line, The Savior, who is Christ the Lord; And this shall be the sign: "The heavenly Babe you there shall find To human view displayed, All meanly wrapped in swathing bands, And in a manger laid." Thus spake the seraph, and forthwith Appeared a shining throng Of angels praising God, who thus Addressed their joyful song: "All glory be to God on high And on the earth be peace; Good will henceforth from heaven to men Begin and never cease."

Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing, Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is King! Sion, the marvelous story be telling, The Son of the Highest, how lowly his birth!

Tell how he cometh; from nation to nation, The heart-cheering news let the earth echo round: How free to the faithful he offers salvation, His people with joy everlasting are crowned. Mortals, your homage be gratefully bringing, And sweet let the gladsome hosanna arise: Ye angels, the full alleluia be singing; One chorus resound through the earth and the skies. William A.

John Wainwright, 1755 Christians, awake, salute the happy morn, Whereon the Savior of the world was born; Rise to adore the mystery of love, Which hosts of angels chanted from above; With them the joyful tidings first begun Of God incarnate and the Virgin's Son. Then to the watchful shepherds it was told, Who heard the angelic herald's voice: “Behold, I bring good tidings of a Savior's birth To you and all the nations upon earth. This day hath God fulfilled his promised word, This day is born a Savior, Christ the Lord.” He spake, and straightway the celestial choir In hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire; The praises of redeeming love they sang, And heaven's whole orb with alleluias rang; God's highest glory was their anthem still, Peace upon earth, and unto men good will. To Bethlehem straight the happy shepherds ran, To see the wonder God had wrought for man; And found, with Joseph and the blessed Maid, Her Son, the Savior, in a manger laid; Amazed, the wondrous story they proclaim, The earliest heralds of the Savior's name. Let us, like these good shepherds, then employ Our grateful voices to proclaim the joy; Trace we the Babe, who hath retrieved our loss, From his poor manger to his bitter cross; Treading his steps, assisted by his grace, Till man's first heavenly state again takes place. Then may we hope, the angelic thrones among, To sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song; He, that was born upon this joyful day, Around us all his glory shall display; Saved by his love, incessant we shall sing Of angels and of angel-men the King. John Byrom, 1750

St. Athanasius:

Edward J. Hopkins, 1872 Sing, O sing, this blessed morn, Unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given, God himself comes down from heaven;

Refrain

Sing, O sing, this blessed morn, Jesus Christ today is born. God of God, and Light of Light, Comes with mercies infinite, Joining in a wondrous plan Heaven to earth and God to man. God with us, Emmanuel, Deigns for ever now to dwell; He on Adam's fallen race Sheds the fullness of his grace. God comes down that man may rise, Lifted by him to the skies; Christ is Son of man that we Sons of God in him may be. O renew us, Lord, we pray, With thy Spirit day by day, That we ever one may be With the Father and with thee. Amen. Christopher Wordsworth, 1862

St. Louis:

Lewis H. Redner, 1868 O little town of Bethlehem! How still we see thee lie; Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth! And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth. How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of his heaven. No ear may hear his coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive him, still The dear Christ enters in. O holy Child of Bethlehem! Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin and enter in, Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel! Amen. Phillips Brooks, 1868

John Bacchus Dykes, 1866 Calm on the listening ear of night Come heaven's melodious strains, Where wild Judea stretches far Her silver-mantled plains. Celestial choirs from courts above Shed sacred glories there; And angels, with their sparkling lyres, Make music on the air. The answering hills of Palestine Send back the glad reply; And greet, from all their holy heights, The Dayspring from on high. O'er the blue depths of Galilee There comes a holier calm, And Sharon waves, in solemn praise, Her silent groves of palm. "Glory to God!" the sounding skies Loud with their anthems ring, "Peace to the earth, good will to men, From heaven's eternal King!" Light on thy hills, Jerusalem! The Savior now is born: More bright on Bethlehem's joyous plains Breaks the first Christmas morn. Edmund H. Sears, 1834

William Croft, 1708 The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain; His blood-red banner streams afar: Who follows in his train? Who best can drink his cup of woe, Triumphant over pain; Who patient bears his cross below, He follows in his train. The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave; Who saw his Master in the sky, And called on him to save. Like him, with pardon on his tongue, In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong: Who follows in his train? A glorious band, the chosen few, On whom the Spirit came: Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, And mocked the cross and flame. They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane; They bowed their necks the death to feel: Who follows in their train? A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Savior's throne rejoice, In robes of light arrayed. They climbed the steep ascent of heaven Through peril, toil, and pain: O God, to us may grace be given To follow in their train. Amen. Reginald Heber, 1812

To thee, O Jesus, Light of Light, Whom as their King the saints adore, Thou strength and refuge in the fight, Be laud and glory evermore. Amen. Reginald Heber, 1827; Published after his death.

Christopher Edwin Willing, 1868 O Lord, the Holy Innocents Laid down for thee their infant life, And martyrs brave and patient saints Have stood for thee in fire and strife. We wear the cross they wore of old Our lips have learned like vows to make; We need not die; we cannot fight; What may we do for Jesus' sake? O day by day each Christian child Has much to do, without, within; A death to die for Jesus' sake, A weary war to wage with sin. When deep within our swelling hearts The thoughts of pride and anger rise, When bitter words are on our tongues, And tears of passion in our eyes; Then we may stay the angry blow, Then we may check the hasty word, Give gentle answers back again, And fight a battle for our Lord. With smiles of peace and looks of love, Light in our dwellings we may make, Bid kind good-humour brighten there, And do all still for Jesus' sake. There's not a child so weak and small But has his little cross to take, His little work of love and praise, That he may do for Jesus' sake. Cecil Frances Alexander, 1850

'Tis the Name for adoration, Name for songs of victory, Name for holy meditation In this vale of misery, Name for joyful veneration By the citizens on high. 'Tis the Name that whoso preacheth Speaks like music to the ear; Who in prayer this Name beseecheth Sweetest comfort findeth near; Who its perfect wisdom reacheth, Heavenly joy possesseth here. Therefore we, in love adoring, This most blessed Name revere; Holy Jesus, thee imploring So to write it in us here That hereafter, heavenward soaring, We may sing with angels there. Amen. Latin; Tr.

Jesus! only Name that's given, Under all the mighty heaven, Whereby man, to sin enslaved, Bursts his fetters and is saved. Jesus! Name of wondrous love!

Cold on his cradle the dewdrops are shining, Low lies his head with the beasts of the stall; Angels adore him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch and Savior of all. Shall we not yield him, in costly devotion, Odours of Edom, and offerings divine, Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine? Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gifts would his favour secure; Richer by far is the heart's adoration, Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. Brightest and best of the rolls of the morning, Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid; Star of the east, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. Reginald Heber, 1811

Manifest at Jordan's stream, Prophet, Priest, and King supreme; And at Cana, wedding-guest, In thy Godhead manifest; Manifest in power divine, Changing water into wine; Anthems be to thee addressed, God in Man made manifest. Manifest in making whole Palsied limbs and fainting soul; Manifest in valiant fight, Quelling all the devil's might; Manifest in gracious will, Ever bringing good from ill; Anthems be to thee addressed, God in Man made manifest. Sun and moon shall darkened be, Stars shall fall, the heavens shall flee, Christ will then like lightning shine, All will see his glorious sign: All will then the trumpet hear; All will see the Judge appear; Thou by all wilt be confessed, God in Man made manifest. Grant us grace to see thee, Lord, Mirrored in thy holy word; May we imitate thee now, And be pure, as pure art thou; That we like to thee may be At thy great Epiphany; And may praise thee, ever blest, God in Man made manifest.

Yet, Lord, we see but darkly: O heavenly Light, arise! Dispel these mists that shroud us, And hide thee from our eyes! We long to track the footprints That thou thyself hast trod; We long to see the pathway That leads to thee, our God. O Jesus, shine around us With radiance of thy grace; O Jesus, turn upon us The brightness of thy face.

O Father, haste the promised hour, When at his feet shall lie All rule, authority, and power, Beneath the ample sky; When he shall reign from pole to pole, The Lord of every human soul: When all shall heed the words he said Amid their daily cares, And by the loving life he led Shall seek to pattern theirs; And he who conquered death shall win The mightier conquest over sin.

O who like thee, so calm, so bright, Thou Son of man, thou Light of Light; O who like thee did ever go So patient through a world of woe? O who like thee so humbly bore The scorn, the scoffs of men before? So meek, forgiving, Godlike, high, So glorious in humility! And all thy life's unchanging years, A man of sorrows and of tears, The cross, where all our sins were laid, Upon thy bending shoulders weighed. And death, that sets the prisoner free, Was pang and scoff and scorn to thee; Yet love through all thy torture glowed, And mercy with thy life-blood flowed. O in thy light be mine to go, Illuming all this way of woe; And give me ever on the road To trace thy footsteps, Son of God! Amen. Arthur Cleveland Coxe, 1840; cento.

Forth from the eternal gates, Thine everlasting home, To sow the seed of truth below, Thou didst vouchsafe to come. And still from age to age, Thou, gracious Lord, hast been The Bearer forth of goodly seed The Sower still unseen. And thou wilt come again, And heaven beneath thee bow, To reap the harvest thou hast sown, Sower and Reaper thou. Watch, Lord, thy harvest field With thine unsleeping eye, The children of the Kingdom keep To thy Epiphany; That when, in thy great day, The tares shall severed be, We may be surely gathered in With all thy saints to thee.

Alleluia thou resoundest, True Jerusalem and free; Alleluia, joyful mother, All thy children sing with thee; But by Babylon's sad waters Mourning exiles now are we. Alleluia cannot always Be our song while here below; Alleluia our transgressions Make us for a while forego: For the solemn time is coming When our tears for sin must flow.

Drop thy still dews of quietness Till all our strivings cease: Take from our souls the strain and stress, And let our ordered lives confess The beauty of thy peace.

Prophecy will fade away, Melting in the light of day; Love will ever with us stay; Therefore, give us love. Faith will vanish into sight; Hope be emptied in delight; Love in heaven will shine more bright; Therefore, give us love. Faith and hope and love we see, Joining hand in hand, agree, But the greatest of the three And the best, is love.

He died that we might be forgiven, He died to make us good, That we might go at last to heaven, Saved by his precious blood. There was no other good enough To pay the price of sin, He only could unlock the gate Of heaven, and let us in. O dearly, dearly has he loved! And we must love him too, And trust in his redeeming blood, And try his works to do. Cecil Frances Alexander, 1848

Holy Week

160. We sing the praise of him who died

L.M

Breslau:

Leipzig, 1625 We sing the praise of him who died, Of him who died upon the cross; The sinner's hope let men deride: For this we count the world but loss. Inscribed upon the cross we see In shining letters, God is love: He bears our sins upon the tree: He brings us mercy from above. The cross, it takes our guilt away; It holds the fainting spirit up; It cheers with hope the gloomy day, And sweetens every bitter cup. It makes the coward spirit brave, And nerves the feeble arm for fight; It takes its terror from the grave, And gilds the bed of death with light. The balm of life, the cure of woe, The measure and the pledge of love, The sinner's refuge here below, The angels' theme in heaven above. Thomas Kelly, 1815

Holy Week

161. At the cross her station keeping

8.8.7.8.8.7

Stabat Mater:

Mayence, 1661 At the cross her station keeping, Stood the mournful mother weeping, Where he hung, the dying Lord; For her soul of joy bereaved, Bowed with anguish, deeply grieved, Felt the sharp and piercing sword. O how sad and sore distressèd Now was she, that mother blessèd Of the sole-begotten One. Deep the woe of her affliction, When she saw the crucifixion Of her everglorious Son. Who, on Christ's dear mother gazing, Pierced by anguish so amazing, Born of woman, would not weep? Who, on Christ's dear mother thinking, Such a cup of sorrow drinking, Would not share her sorrows deep? For his people's sins chastised, She beheld her Son despised, Scourged, and crowned with thorns entwined; Saw him then from judgment taken, And in death by all forsaken, Till his spirit he resigned. Jesus, may her deep devotion Stir in me the same emotion, Fount of love, Redeemer kind; That my heart fresh ardour gaining And a purer love attaining, May with thee acceptance find. Amen. Latin, 12th cent.; Tr. Richard Mant 1533, and Edward Caswall, 1849; cento.

Caswall:

Freidrich Filitz, 1847 Glory be to Jesus, Who in bitter pains Poured for me the life-blood From his sacred veins! Grace and life eternal In that blood I find, Blest be his compassion Infinitely kind! Blest through endless ages Be the precious stream, Which from sin and sorrow Doth the world redeem! Abel's blood for vengeance Pleaded to the skies; But the blood of Jesus For our pardon cries. Oft as earth exulting Wafts its praise on high Angel hosts, rejoicing, Make their glad reply. Lift ye then your voices; Swell the mighty flood; Louder still and louder Praise the precious blood. Amen. Italian; Tr. Edward Caswall, 1857; Alt.

I. THE QUESTION

First part of tune

In his own raiment clad, With his blood dyed Women walk sorrowing By his side. [Heavy that cross to him, Weary the weight; One who will help him waits At the gate. See! they are traveling On the same road; Simon is sharing with Him the load.] O whither wandering Bear they that tree. He who first carries it, Who is he?

II. THE ANSWER

Second part of tune

Follow to Calvary; Tread where he trod, He who for ever was Son of God. [You who would love him stand, Gaze at his face: Tarry awhile on your Earthly race. As the swift moments fly Through the blest week, Read the great story the Cross will teach.] Is there no beauty to You who pass by, In that lone figure which Marks that sky?

III. THE STORY OF THE CROSS

First part of tune

On the cross lifted Thy face we scan, Bearing that cross for us, Son of man. Thorns form thy diadem, Rough wood thy throne; For us thy blood is shed, Us alone. No pillow under thee To rest thy head; Only the splintered cross Is thy bed. [Nails pierced thy hands and feet, Thy side the spear; No voice is nigh to say Help is near. Shadows of midnight fall, Though it is day: Thy friends and kinsfolk stand Far away. Loud is thy bitter cry; Sunk on thy breast Hangeth thy bleeding head Without rest. Loud scoffs the dying thief, Who mocks at thee: Can it, my Savior, be All for me? Gazing, afar from thee, Silent and lone, Stand those few weepers thou Callest thine own. I see thy title, Lord, Inscribed above; “Jesus of Nazareth,” King of Love.] What, O my Savior, Here didst thou see, Which made thee suffer and Die for me?

IV. THE APPEAL

Second part of tuneMay be taken by Bass or Tenor voice.

[Child of my grief and pain, Watched by my love; I came to call thee to Realms above. I saw thee wandering Far off from me: In love I seek for thee; Do not flee. For thee my blood I shed, For thee alone; I came to purchase thee, For mine own. Weep thou not for my grief, Child of my love: Strive to be with me in Heaven above.]

V. THE RESPONSE

Third part of tune

O I will follow thee, Star of my soul, Through the deep shades of life To the goal. Yea, let thy cross be borne Each day by me; Mind not how heavy, if But with thee. Lord, if thou only wilt, Make us thine own, Give no companion, save Thee alone. Grant through each day of life To stand by thee; With thee, when morning breaks Ever to be. Amen. Edward Monro, 1864

PART I

"Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." -- Lk 23:34

Jesus, in thy dying woes, Even while thy life-blood flows, Craving pardon for thy foes: Hear us, Holy Jesus. Savior, for our pardon sue, When our sins thy pangs renew, For we know not what we do: Hear us, Holy Jesus. O may we, who mercy need, Be like thee in heart and deed, When with wrong our spirits bleed: Hear us, Holy Jesus.

"Today shalt thou be with me in Paradise." -- Lk 23:43

Jesus, pitying the sighs Of the thief, who near thee dies, Promising him Paradise: Hear us, Holy Jesus.

O remember us who pine, Looking from our cross to thine; Cheer our souls with hope divine: Hear us, Holy Jesus.

PART III

"Woman, behold thy son!" "Behold thy mother!" -- Jn 19:26,27

Jesus, loving to the end Her whose heart thy sorrows rend, And thy dearest human friend: Hear us, Holy Jesus.

PART IV

"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" -- Mt 27:46

PART V

"I thirst." -- Jn 19:28

Jesus, in thy thirst and pain, While thy wounds thy life-blood drain, Thirsting more our love to gain: Hear us, Holy Jesus.

PART VI

"It is finished." -- Jn 19:30

Jesus, all our ransom paid, All thy Father's will obeyed, By thy sufferings perfect made: Hear us, Holy Jesus. Save us in our soul's distress, Be our help to cheer and bless, While we grow in holiness: Hear us, Holy Jesus. Brighten all our heavenward way With an ever holier ray, Till we pass to perfect day: Hear us, Holy Jesus.

PART VII

"Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." -- Lk 23:46

Jesus, all thy labour vast, All thy woe and conflict past, Yielding up thy soul at last: Hear us, Holy Jesus. When the death shades round us lower, Guard us from the tempter's power, Keep us in that trial hour: Hear us, Holy Jesus. May thy life and death supply Grace to live and grace to die, Grace to reach the home on high: Hear us, Holy Jesus. Amen. Thomas B. Pollock, 1870

O Paradise, O Paradise, We long to sin no more; We long to be as pure on earth As on thy spotless shore; O Paradise, O Paradise, We shall not wait for long; E'en now the loving ear may catch Faint fragments of thy song; Lord Jesus, King of Paradise, O keep us in Thy love, And guide us to that happy land Of perfect rest above;

Joachim Neander, 1680 He is risen, he is risen, Tell it out with joyful voice: He has burst his three days' prison; Let the whole wide earth rejoice: Death is conquered, man is free, Christ has won the victory. Come, ye sad and fearful-hearted, With glad smile and radiant brow: Lent's long shadows have departed; All his woes are over now, And the passion that he bore: Sin and pain can vex no more. Come, with high and holy hymning, Chant our Lord's triumphant lay; Not one darksome cloud is dimming Yonder glorious morning ray, Breaking o'er the purple east, Symbol of our Easter feast. He is risen, he is risen; He hath opened heaven's gate: We are free from sin's dark prison, Risen to a holier state; And a brighter Easter beam On our longing eyes shall stream.

Risen Master, fain would we, Sharing those unearthly days, Morn and eve, on shore and sea, Watch thy movements, mark thy ways; Catch by faith each glad surprise Of thy footsteps drawing nigh; Hear thy sudden greeting rise, "Peace be to you! It is I!" Secrets of thy kingdom learn, Read the vision open spread, Feel thy word within us burn, Know thee in the broken Bread. So thy glory's skirts beside, Gently led from grace to grace, We thy coming may abide, And adore thee face to face. Amen. Jackson Mason, 1889; Alt.

Thine is the health and thine the wealth That in our halls abound, And thine the beauty and the joy With which the years are crowned. Lord, in their change, let frost and heat, And winds and dews be given; All fostering power, all influence sweet, Breathe from the bounteous heaven. Attemper fair with gentle air The sunshine and the rain, That kindly earth with timely birth May yield her fruits again: That we may feed the poor aright, And, gathering round thy throne, Here, in the holy angels' sight, Repay thee of thine own: That we may praise thee all our days, And with the Father's Name, And with the Holy Spirit's gifts, The Savior's love proclaim.

Thy best gifts from on high In rich abundance pour That we may magnify And praise thee more and more. The powers ordained by thee, With heavenly wisdom bless; May they thy servants be, And rule in righteousness. The Church of thy dear Son Inflame with love's pure fire, Bind her once more in one, And life and truth inspire. Give peace, Lord, in our time; O let no foe draw nigh, Nor lawless deed of crime Insult thy Majesty.

Our hope, when autumn winds blew wild, We trusted, Lord, with thee; And now that spring has on us smiled, We wait on thy decree. The former and the latter rain, The summer sun and air, The green ear, and the golden grain, All thine, are ours by prayer. Thine, too, by right, and ours by grace, The wondrous growth unseen, The hopes that soothe, the fears that brace, The love that shines serene. So grant the precious things brought forth By sun and moon below, That thee, in thy new heaven and earth, We never may forego. Amen. John Keble, 1856

Now glows the earth with painted flowers' array, And warmer light unbars the gates of day. Now Christ, from gloomy hell, comes triumphing, And field and grove with clover and leafage spring. The reign of death o'erthrown, he mounts on high, Sent forth with joyous praise from sea and sky. Loose now the captives, loose the prison door, The fallen, from the deep, to light restore. A countless people, from death's fetters free, Own thee Redeemer, join, and follow thee. Creator and Redeemer, Christ our Light! The One begotten of the Father's might; Coequal, Coeternal, thou to whom The kingdom of the world decreed shall come; Thou, looking on our race in darkness laid, To rescue man, true Man thyself wast made.

He saw me plunged in deep distress, He flew to my relief; For me He bore the shameful cross, And carried all my grief. To Him I owe my life and breath, And all the joys I have; He makes me triumph over death, And saves me from the grave. To heaven, the place of His abode, He brings my weary feet; Shows me the glories of my God, And makes my joys complete. Since from His bounty I receive Such proofs of love divine, Had I a thousand hearts to give, Lord, they should all be Thine. Amen. Samuel Stennett, 1787

With his seraph train before him, With his holy Church below, Thus unite we to adore him, Bid we thus our anthem flow: "Lord, thy glory fills the heaven, Earth is with thy fullness stored; Unto thee be glory given, Holy, Holy, Holy Lord."

Is there a thing beneath the sun That strives with thee my heart to share? Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone, The Lord of every motion there. Then shall my heart from earth be free, When it hath found repose in thee. O hide this self from me, that I No more, but Christ in me, may live! My base affections crucify, Nor let one favourite sin survive; In all things nothing may I see, Nothing desire, or seek, but thee. Each moment draw from earth away My heart, that lowly waits thy call! Speak to my inmost soul, and say I am thy love, thy God, thy all!

Thou alone my trust shalt be, Thou alone canst comfort me; Only, Jesus, let thy grace Be my shield and hiding-place; Let me know thy saving power In temptation's fiercest hour: Then, my Savior, at thy side Let me evermore abide. Thou hast wrought this fond desire, Kindled here this sacred fire, Weaned my heart from all below, Thee and thee alone to know. Thou who hast inspired the cry, Thou alone canst satisfy: Love of Jesus, all divine, Fill this longing heart of mine. Amen. Francis Bottome, 1872

232. How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds

C.M.

St. Peter:

Alexander R. Reinagle, 1836 How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear! It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds, And drives away our fear. It makes the wounded spirit whole, And calms the troubled breast; 'Tis manna to the hungry soul, And to the weary rest. Dear Name, the rock on which I build, My shield and hiding-place, My never-failing treasury, filled With boundless stores of grace. Jesus! my Shepherd, Guardian, Friend, My Prophet, Priest, and King, My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, Accept the praise I bring. Weak is the effort of my heart, And cold my warmest thought; But when I see thee as thou art, I'll praise thee as I ought. Till then I would thy love proclaim With every fleeting breath; And may the music of thy Name Refresh my soul in death. Amen. John Newton, 1774

St. Chad:

Richard Redhead (1820-1901) Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise thee For the bliss thy love bestows, For the pardoning grace that saves me, And the peace that from it flows; Help, O God, my weak endeavour This dull soul to rapture raise: Thou must light the flame, or never Can my love be warmed to praise. Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee, Wretched wanderer, far astray; Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee From the paths of death away; Praise, with love's devoutest feeling, Him who saw thy guilt-born fear, And, the light of hope revealing, Bade the blood-stained cross appear. Lord, this bosom's ardent feeling Vainly would my lips express: Low before thy footstool kneeling, Deign thy suppliant's prayer to bless: Let thy grace, my soul's chief treasure, Love's pure flame within me raise; And, since words can never measure, Let my life show forth thy praise. Amen. Francis Scott Key, 1819

234. My God, I love thee: not because

C.M.

St. Bernard:

Cologne, 1741 My God, I love thee: not because I hope for heaven thereby; Nor yet because if I love not I must for ever die. But, O my Jesus, thou didst me Upon the cross embrace; For me didst bear the nails and spear, And manifold disgrace, And griefs and torments numberless, And sweat of agony, E'en death itself; and all for me Who was thine enemy. Then why, O blessèd Jesus Christ, Should I not love thee well? Not for the hope of winning heaven, Nor of escaping hell; Not with the hope of gaining aught; Not seeking a reward: But as thyself hast lovèd me, O everloving Lord! E'en so I love thee, and will love, And in thy praise will sing; Solely because thou art my God, And my eternal King. Amen. Latin; Ascribed to Francis Xavier; Tr. Edward Caswall, 1849; Alt.

Walter Henry Hall, 1918 O Love that wilt not let me go, I rest my weary soul in thee; I give thee back the life I owe, That in thine ocean depths its flow May richer, fuller be. O Light that followest all my way, I yield my flickering torch to thee; My heart restores its borrowed ray, That in thy sunshine's blaze its day May brighter, fairer be. O Joy that seekest me through pain, I cannot close my heart to thee; I trace the rainbow through the rain, And feel the promise is not vain That morn shall tearless be. O Cross that liftest up my head, I dare not ask to fly from thee; I lay in dust life's glory dead, And from the ground there blossoms red Life that shall endless be. Amen. George Matheson, 1882

Tallis' Ordinal:

Thomas Tallis, 1567 When all thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise. O how shall words with equal warmth The gratitude declare, That glows within my ravished heart? But thou canst read it there. Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart, That tastes those gifts with joy. Through every period of my life Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. When nature fails, and day and night Divide thy works no more, My ever grateful heart, O Lord, Thy mercy shall adore. Through all eternity, to thee A joyful song I'll raise; But O eternity's too short To utter all thy praise! Amen. Joseph Addison, 1712; Abbr.

Thy Life:

George A. Macfarren, 1875 Thy life was given for me, Thy blood, O Lord, was shed, That I might ransomed be, And quickened from the dead; Thy life was given for me: What have I given for thee? Long years were spent for me In weariness and woe, That through eternity Thy glory I might know. Long years were spent for me: Have I spent one for thee? Thy Father's home of light Thy rainbow-circled throne, Were left for earthly night, For wanderings sad and lone. Yea, all was left for me: Have I left aught for thee? And thou hast brought to me, Down from thy home above, Salvation full and free, Thy pardon and thy love. Great gifts thou broughtest me: What have I brought to thee? O let my life be given, My years for thee be spent; World fetters all be riven, And joy with suffering blent; Thou gavest thyself for me: I give myself to thee. Amen. Frances R. Havergal, 1858

Magdalena:

John Stainer, 1868 I could not do without Thee, O Savior of the lost, Whose precious blood redeemed me At such tremendous cost; Thy righteousness, thy pardon, Thy precious blood, must be My only hope and comfort, My glory and my plea. I could not do without thee, I cannot stand alone, I have no strength or goodness, No wisdom of my own; But thou, beloved Savior, Art all in all to me, And weakness will be power If leaning hard on thee. I could not do without thee, For O the way is long, And I am often weary, And sigh replaces song: How could I do without thee? I do not know the way; Thou knowest, and thou leadest, And wilt not let me stray. I could not do without thee, O Jesus, Savior dear; E'en when my eyes are holden, I know that thou art near. How dreary and how lonely This changeful life would be, Without the sweet communion, The secret rest with thee! I could not do without thee; No other friend can read The spirit's strange deep longings, Interpreting its need; No human heart could enter Each dim recess of mine, And soothe, and hush, and calm it, O blessed Lord, but thine. I could not do without thee, For years are fleeting fast, And soon in solemn loneness The river must be passed; But thou wilt never leave me, And though the waves roll high, I know thou wilt be near me, And whisper, "It is I." Amen. Frances R. Havergal, 1873

8.7.8.7 D.

Beecher:

John Zundel, 1870 There's a wideness in God's mercy Like the wideness of the sea; There's a kindness in his justice Which is more than liberty. There is welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Savior; There is healing in his blood. There is no place where earth's sorrows Are more felt than up in heaven; There is no place where earth's failings Have such kindly judgment given. There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head. For the love of God is broader Than the measure of man's mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most infinitely kind. If our love were but more simple, We should take him at his word; And our lives would be all sunshine In the sweetness of the Lord. Frederick W. Faber, 1862; cento.

Newcastle:

Henry L. Morley, 1875 Eternal Light! Eternal Light! How pure that soul must be, When, placed within thy searching sight, It shrinks not, but with calm delight Can live, and look on thee. The spirits that surround thy throne May bear the burning bliss; But surely that is theirs alone Who, undefiled, have never known A fallen world like this. O how shall I, whose native sphere Is dark, whose mind is dim, Before the Ineffable appear, And on my naked spirit bear The uncreated beam? There is a way for man to rise To that sublime abode: An offering and a sacrifice, A Holy Spirit's energies, An Advocate with God: These, these prepare us for the sight Of holiness above: The sons of ignorance and night May dwell in the eternal Light, Through the eternal Love! Thomas Binney, c. 1826

Vox Dilecti:

John Bacchus Dykes, 1868 I heard the voice of Jesus say, Come unto me and rest; Lay down, thou weary one, Lay down Thy head upon my breast. I came to Jesus as I was, Weary, and worn, and sad; I found in him a resting-place, And he has made me glad. I heard the voice of Jesus say, Behold, I freely give The living water; thirsty one, Stoop down and drink, and live. I came to Jesus, and I drank Of that life-giving stream; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in him. I heard the voice of Jesus say, I am this dark world's light; Look unto me, thy morn shall rise, And all thy day be bright. I looked to Jesus, and I found In him my Star, my Sun; And in that light of life I'll walk Till traveling days are done. Horatius Bonar, 1846

Teach me some melodious measure, Sung by raptured saints above; Fill my soul with sacred pleasure, While I sing redeeming love. Thou didst seek me when a stranger, Wandering from the fold of God; Thou, to save my soul from danger, Didst redeem me with thy blood. By thy hand restored, defended, Safe through life thus far I've come; Safe, O Lord, when life is ended, Bring me to my heavenly home. Amen. Robert Robinson, 1758; Alt.

I loved the garish day; and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not past years. So long thy power hath blest me, sure it still Will lead me on O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till The night is gone; And with the morn those angel faces smile, Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.

He leadeth me! He leadeth me! By his own hand he leadeth me! His faithful follower I would be, For by his hand he leadeth me. Sometimes mid scenes of deepest gloom, Sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom, By waters calm, o'er troubled sea, Still 'tis his hand that leadeth me. Lord, I would clasp thy hand in mine, Nor ever murmur nor repine; Content, whatever lot I see, Since 'tis my God that leadeth me. And when my task on earth is done, When, by thy grace, the victory's won, E'en death's cold wave I will not flee, Since God through Jordan leadeth me. Joseph H. Gilmore, 1862

Samuel Howard, 1762 Thou say'st, "Take up thy cross, O man, and follow me"; The night is black, the feet are slack, Yet we would follow thee. But, O dear Lord, we cry, That we thy face could see, Thy blessèd face one moment's space, Then might we follow thee! Dim tracts of time divide Those golden days from me; Thy voice comes strange o'er years of change; How can I follow thee? Comes faint and far thy voice From vales of Galilee; Thy vision fades in ancient shades; How should we follow thee? O heavy cross: of faith In what we cannot see! As once of yore thyself restore, And help to follow thee. If not as once thou cam'st In true humanity, Come yet as guest within the breast That burns to follow thee. Within our heart of hearts In nearest nearness be: Set up thy throne within thine own: Go, Lord; we follow thee. Amen. Francis T. Palgrave, 1865

Savior, breathe forgiveness o'er us, All our weakness thou dost know; Thou didst tread this earth before us; Thou didst feel its keenest woe; Lone and dreary, Faint and weary, Through the desert thou didst go.

Lead us, O Father, in the paths of right; Blindly we stumble when we walk alone, Involved in shadows of a darksome night, Only with thee we journey safely on. Lead us, O Father, to thy heavenly rest, However rough and steep the path may be, Through joy or sorrows as thou deemest best, Until our lives are perfected in thee. Amen.

Amen, Amen! Deep in the prophets' sacred page, Grand in the poets' wingèd word, Slowly in type, from age to age, Nations beheld their coming Lord; Till through the deep Judean night Rang out the song, "Goodwill to men!" Hymned by the first-born sons of light, Re-echoed now, "Goodwill!" Amen! That life of truth, those deeds of love, That death of pain, mid hate and scorn; These all are past, and now above He reigns our King! once crowned with thorn. Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates; So sang his hosts, unheard by men; Lift up your heads, for you he waits. We lift them up! Amen, Amen! Nations afar, in ignorance deep; Isles of the sea, where darkness lay: These hear his voice, they wake from sleep, And throng with joy the upward way. They cry with us, "Send forth thy light," O Lamb, once slain for sinful men; Burst Satan's bonds, O God of might; Set all men free! Amen, Amen! Sing to the Lord a glorious song, Sing to his Name, his love forth tell; Sing on, heaven's hosts, his praise prolong; Sing, ye who now on earth do dwell: Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain, From angels, praise; and thanks from men; Worthy the Lamb, enthroned to reign, Glory and power!

John Sheeles, c. 1720 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. The unwearied sun from day to day Does his Creator's power display, And publishes to every land The work of an almighty Hand. Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale, And nightly to the listening earth Repeats the story of her birth; Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. What though in solemn silence all Move round this dark terrestrial ball; What though no real voice nor sound Amidst their radiant orbs be found; In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice; For ever singing, as they shine, "The Hand that made us is divine."

O tell of his might! O sing of his grace! Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space. His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, And dark is his path on the wings of the storm. The earth, with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, thy power hath founded of old, Hath 'stablished it fast by a changeless decree, And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea. Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light; It streams from the hills; it descends to the plain, And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail; Thy mercies, how tender! how firm to the end! Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend! O measureless Might! ineffable Love! While angels delight to hymn thee above, The humbler creation, though feeble their lays, With true adoration shall sing to thy praise. Amen.

Heaven and earth must pass away; Songs of praise shall crown that day: God will make new heavens and earth; Songs of praise shall hail their birth. And shall man alone be dumb, Till that glorious kingdom come? No; the Church delights to raise Psalms, and hymns, and songs of praise. Saints below, with heart and voice, Still in songs of praise rejoice; Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above.

O wisest love! that flesh and blood, Which did in Adam fail, Should strive afresh against the foe, Should strive and should prevail: And that a higher gift than grace Should flesh and blood refine; God's Presence and his very Self, And Essence all-divine. O generous love! that he who smote In Man for man the foe, The double agony in Man For man should undergo; And in the garden secretly, And on the cross on high, Should teach his brethren, and inspire To suffer and to die.

Soon shall ye hear him say, "Ye blessed children, come." Soon will he call you hence away, And take his wanderers home. There shall our raptured tongue His endless praise proclaim, And sweeter voices swell the song Of glory to the Lamb. William Hammond, 1745; Alt.; cento.

Sleepers, Wake:

Philip Nicolai, 1599 Arr. Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) Praise the Lord through every nation; His holy arm hath wrought salvation; Exalt him on his Father's throne. Praise your King, ye Christian legions, Who now prepares in heavenly regions Unfailing mansions for his own: With voice and minstrelsy Extol his majesty: Alleluia! His praise shall sound all nature round, Where'er the race of man is found. God with man dominion sharing, And Man with God our image bearing, Gentile and Jew to him are given: Praise your Savior, ransomed sinners, Of life, through him, immortal winners: No longer heirs of earth, but heaven. O beatific sight To view his face in light! Alleluia! And while we see, transformed to be From bliss to bliss eternally. Jesus, Lord, our Captain glorious, O'er sin, and death, and hell victorious, Wisdom and might to thee belong: We confess, proclaim, adore thee; We bow the knee, we fall before thee, Thy love henceforth shall be our song. The cross meanwhile we bear, The crown ere long to wear: Alleluia! Thy reign extend world without end, Let praise from all to thee ascend. Amen. Dutch; Rhijnvis Feith, 1806; Tr.

Meribah:

Lowell Mason, 1839 O could I speak the matchless worth, O could I sound the glories forth Which in my Savior shine, I'd soar, and touch the heavenly strings, And vie with Gabriel while he sings In notes almost divine. I'd sing the characters he bears, And all the forms of love he wears, Exalted on his throne: In loftiest songs of sweetest praise, I would to everlasting days Make all his glories known. O the delightful day will come When my dear Lord will bring me home, And I shall see his face; Then with my Savior, Brother, Friend, A blest eternity I'll spend, Triumphant in his grace. Samuel Medley, 1789

Ye blessèd souls at rest, Who ran this earthly race And now, from sin released, Behold the Savior's face, God's praises sound, As in his light With sweet delight Ye do abound. Ye saints, who toil below, Adore your heavenly King, And onward as ye go Some joyful anthem sing; Take what he gives And praise him still, Through good or ill, Who ever lives! My soul, bear thou thy part, Triumph in God above: And with a well-tuned heart Sing thou the songs of love! Let all thy days Till life shall end, Whate'er he send, Be filled with praise.

Holy Days: General for Saints' Days

267. From all thy saints in warfare, for all thy saints at rest

7.6.7.6.D

Paean:

Frederic Weber, 1856 From all thy saints in warfare, for all thy saints at rest, To thee, O blessed Jesus, all praises be addressed. Thou, Lord, didst win the battle that they might conquerors be; Their crowns of living glory are lit with rays from thee.

Insert here the stanza for the special Saint's Day to be celebrated.

ST. ANDREW

Praise, Lord, for thine apostle, the first to welcome thee, The first to lead his brother the very Christ to see. With hearts for thee made ready, watch we throughout the year, Forward to lead our brethren to own thine Advent near.

ST. THOMAS

All praise for thine apostle, whose short-lived doubtings prove Thy perfect twofold nature, the fullness of thy love. On all who wait thy coming shed forth thy peace, O Lord, And grant us faith to know thee, true Man, true God, adored.

ST. STEPHEN

Praise for the first of martyrs, who saw thee ready stand To aid in midst of torments, to plead at God's right hand. Share we with him, if summoned by death our Lord to own, On earth the faithful witness, in heaven the martyr crown.

ST. JOHN THE EVANGELIST

Praise for the loved disciple, exile on Patmos' shore; Praise for the faithful record he to thy Godhead bore, Praise for the mystic vision through him to us revealed. May we, in patience waiting, with thine elect be sealed.

THE HOLY INNOCENTS

Praise for thine infant martyrs, by thee with tenderest love Called early from the warfare to share the rest above. O Rachel! cease thy weeping: they rest from pains and cares. Lord, grant us hearts as guileless and crowns as bright as theirs.

THE CONVERSION OF ST. PAUL

Praise for the light from heaven, praise for the voice of awe, Praise for the glorious vision the persecutor saw. Thee, Lord, for his conversion, we glorify today; So lighten all our darkness with thy true Spirit's ray.

ST. MATTHIAS

Lord, thine abiding presence directs the wondrous choice; For one in place of Judas the faithful now rejoice. Thy Church from false apostles for evermore defend, And by thy parting promise be with her to the end.

ST. MARK

For him, O Lord, we praise thee, the weak by grace made strong, Whose labors and whose Gospel enrich our triumph song. May we in all our weakness find strength from thee supplied, And all, as fruitful branches, in thee, the Vine, abide.

ST. PHILIP AND ST. JAMES

All praise for thine apostle, blest guide to Greek and Jew, And him surnamed thy brother; keep us thy brethren true, And grant us grace to know thee, the Way, the Truth, the Life; To wrestle with temptations till victors in the strife.

ST. BARNABAS

The son of Consolation, moved by thy law of love, Forsaking earthly treasures, sought riches from above. As earth now teems with increase, let gifts of grace descend, That thy true consolations may through the world extend.

ST. JOHN BAPTIST

We praise thee for the Baptist, forerunner of the Word, Our true Elias, making a highway for the Lord. Of prophets last and greatest, he saw thy dawning ray: Make us the rather blessed who love thy glorious day.

ST. PETER

Praise for thy great apostle, the eager and the bold; Thrice falling, yet repentant, thrice charged to keep thy Fold. Lord, make thy pastors faithful to guard their flocks from ill, And grant them dauntless courage, with humble, earnest will.

ST. JAMES

For him, O Lord, we praise thee, who, slain by Herod's sword, Drank of thy cup of suffering, fulfilling thus thy word. Curb we all vain impatience to read thy veiled decree, And count it joy to suffer, if so brought nearer thee.

ST. BARTHOLOMEW

All praise for thine apostle, the faithful, pure, and true, Whom underneath the fig tree thine eye all-seeing knew. Like him may we be guileless, true Israelites indeed, That thy abiding presence our longing souls may feed.

ST. MATTHEW

Praise, Lord, for him whose Gospel thy human life declared, Who, worldly gains forsaking, thy path of suffering shared. From all unrighteous mammon O give us hearts set free, That we, whate'er our calling, may rise and follow thee.

ST. LUKE

For that "beloved physician," all praise, whose Gospel shows The Healer of the nations, the Sharer of our woes. Thy wine and oil, O Savior, on bruised hearts deign to pour, And with true balm of Gilead anoint us evermore.

ST. SIMON AND ST. JUDE

Praise, Lord, for thine apostles, who sealed their faith today: One love, one zeal impelled them to tread the sacred way. May we with zeal as earnest the faith of Christ maintain, And, bound in love as brethren, at length thy rest attain.

GENERAL ENDING

Apostles, prophets, martyrs, and all the sacred throng, Who wear the spotless raiment, who raise the ceaseless song; For these, passed on before us, Savior, we thee adore, And, walking in their footsteps, would serve thee more and more. Then praise we God the Father, and praise we God the Son, And God the Holy Spirit, eternal Three in One; Till all the ransomed number fall down before the throne, And honour, power, and glory ascribe to God alone. Amen. Horatio Nelson, 1864

Edward H. Thorne, 1875

Galilee:

William Herbert Jude, 1887 Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult Of our life's wild, restless sea, Day by day his sweet voice soundeth, Saying, "Christian, follow me." As of old, Saint Andrew heard it By the Galilean lake, Turned from home, and toil, and kindred, Leaving all for his dear sake. Jesus calls us from the worship Of the vain world's golden store; From each idol that would keep us, Saying, "Christian, love me more." In our joys and in our sorrows, Days of toil and hours of ease, Still he calls, in cares and pleasures, "That we love him more than these." Jesus calls us: by thy mercies, Savior, make us hear thy call, Give our hearts to thine obedience, Serve and love thee best of all. Amen. Cecil Frances Alexander, 1852

Scottish Psalter, 1615 O Thou who didst, with love untold, Thy doubting servant chide, And bad'st the eye of sense behold Thy wounded hands and side; Grant us, like him, with heartfelt awe, To own thee God and Lord, And from his hour of darkness draw A fuller faith's reward. And while that wondrous record now Of unbelief we hear, O let us only lowlier bow In self-distrusting fear; And pray that we may never dare Thy loving heart to grieve, But at the last their blessings share Who see not, yet believe! Amen. Emma L. Toke, 1851

Nicholas Hermann, 1560 We walk by faith, and not by sight; No gracious words we hear From him who spake as man ne'er spake; But we believe him near. We may not touch his hands and side, Nor follow where he trod; But in his promise we rejoice, And cry, "My Lord and God!" Help then, O Lord, our unbelief; And may our faith abound, To call on thee when thou art near, And seek where thou art found: That, when our life of faith is done, In realms of clearer light We may behold thee as thou art, With full and endless sight. Amen. Henry Alford, 1844

Munich:

Meiningen, 1693; harm., Felix Mendelssohn, 1847 We sing the glorious conquest Before Damascus gate, When Saul, the Church's spoiler, Came breathing threats and hate; The ravening wolf rushed forward Full early to the prey; But lo! the Shepherd met him, And bound him fast today. O glory most excelling That smote across his path! O light that pierced and blinded The zealot in his wrath! O voice that spake within him The calm, reproving word! O love that sought and held him The bondman of his Lord! O Wisdom ordering all things In order strong and sweet, What nobler spoil was ever Cast at the Victor's feet? What wiser master-builder E'er wrought at thine employ Than he, till now so furious Thy building to destroy? Lord, teach thy Church the lesson, Still in her darkest hour Of weakness and of danger, To trust thy hidden power: Thy grace by ways mysterious The wrath of man can bind, And in thy boldest foeman Thy chosen saint can find. Amen. John Ellerton, 1871

C.M.

Mount Calvary:

Robert P. Stewart (1825-1894) Lord, who fulfillest thus anew Thine own blest dying prayer, That they who know not what they do, May in thy ransom share: When foes thy Church's power defy, Or slight thy sacred word, Or thee, true God and Man, deny, Grant them conversion, Lord. Grant that the light may round them shine; That, set from error free, They in thy word the truth divine, Thee in thy Church may see; That so, when our brief time is done, We may with them adore The Father, and coequal Son, And Spirit evermore. Amen. Henry W. Mozley, 1866

Jesus, by thy Presentation, Thou who didst for us endure, Make us see thy great salvation, Seal us with thy promise sure; And present us in thy glory To thy Father cleansed and pure.

Thomas Este, Psalmes, 1592 Hail to the Lord who comes, Comes to his temple gate; Not with his angel host, Not in his kingly state; No shouts proclaim him nigh, No crowds his coming wait; But, borne upon the throne Of Mary's gentle breast, Watched by her duteous love, In her fond arms at rest: Thus to his Father's house He comes, the heavenly Guest. Hail to the great First-born Whose ransom price they pay! The Son, before all worlds; The Child of man, today; That he might ransom us Who still in bondage lay. O Light of all the earth, Thy children wait for thee! Come to thy temples here, That we, from sin set free, Before thy Father's face May all presented be! Amen. John Ellerton, 1880

Frederic Weber, 1856 Praise to the heavenly Wisdom Who knows the hearts of all, The saintly life's beginnings, The traitor's secret fall; Our own ascended Master, Who heard his Church's cry, Made known his guiding presence, And ruled her from on high. Elect in his foreknowledge, To fill the lost one's place; He formed his chosen vessel By hidden gifts of grace; Then, by the lot's disposing He lifted up the poor, And set him with the Princes On high for evermore. Still guide thy Church, chief Shepherd, Her losses still renew; Be thy dread keys entrusted To faithful hands and true; Apostles of thy choosing May all her rulers be That each with joy may render His last account to thee! Amen. John Ellerton, 1888

Henry John Gauntlett, 1848 Praise we the Lord this day, This day so long foretold, Whose promise shone with cheering ray On waiting saints of old. The prophet gave the sign For faithful men to read; A virgin born of David's line Shall bear the promised Seed. Ask not how this should be, But worship and adore, Like her whom heaven's majesty Came down to shadow o'er. Meekly she bowed her head To hear the gracious word, Mary, the pure and lowly maid, The favored of the Lord. Blessed shall be her name In all the Church on earth, Through whom that wondrous mercy came, The incarnate Savior's birth. Anonymous, 1846

Johann B. König, 1738; Arr. William H. Havergal, 1840 Blest are the pure in heart, For they shall see our God; The secret of the Lord is theirs; Their soul is Christ's abode. The Lord, who left the heavens Our life and peace to bring, To dwell in lowliness with men Their pattern and their King; He to the lowly soul Doth still himself impart; And for his dwelling and his throne Chooseth the pure in heart. Lord, we thy presence seek; May ours this blessing be; Give us a pure and lowly heart, A temple meet for thee. Amen. John Keble, 1819; Alt.; cento.

The saint, who left his comrades, And turned back from the fight, Behold at last victorious In thy prevailing might! From thee, Lord, came the courage Once more to front the host: Thy strength, most mighty Savior, In weakness shineth most. Thy love Saint Mark hath numbered Among the blessed four, And all the world rejoiceth To learn his Gospel-lore. O Lord, our human weakness With pitying eye behold; Uplift the fainting spirit, And make the coward bold. O Jesus, glorious Victor O'er all the hosts of sin, In us thy strength make perfect, In us the victory win. Amen. W. Walsham How, 1871

Thou art the Truth, thy word alone True wisdom can impart; Thou only canst inform the mind And purify the heart. Thou art the Life, the rending tomb Proclaims thy conquering arm; And those who put their trust in thee Nor death nor hell shall harm. Thou art the Way, the Truth, the Life; Grant us that way to know, That truth to keep, that life to win, Whose joys eternal flow. Amen. George W. Doane, 1824

Strength and Stay:

John Bacchus Dykes, 1875 O Son of God, our Captain of salvation, Thyself by suffering schooled to human grief, We bless thee for thy sons of consolation, Who follow in the steps of thee their Chief; Those whom thy Spirit's dread vocation severs, To lead the vanguard of thy conquering host; Whose toilsome years are spent in brave endeavours To bear thy saving Name from coast to coast; Those whose bright faith makes feeble hearts grow stronger, And sends fresh warriors to the great campaign, Bids the lone convert feel estranged no longer, And wins the sundered to be one again; And all true helpers, patient, kind, and skillful, Who shed thy light across our darkened earth, Counsel the doubting, and restrain the willful, Soothe the sick bed, and share the children's mirth. Such was thy Levite, strong in self-oblation To cast his all at thine apostles' feet; He whose new name, through every Christian nation From age to age our thankful strains repeat. Thus, Lord, thy Barnabas in memory keeping, Still be thy Church's watchword, "Comfort ye," Till in our Father's house shall end our weeping, And all our wants be satisfied in thee. Amen.

Arthur S. Sullivan, 1867 The son of Consolation! Of Levi's priestly line, Filled with the Holy Spirit And fervent faith divine, With lowly self oblation, For Christ an offering meet, He laid his earthly riches At the apostles' feet. The son of Consolation! O name of soothing balm! It fell on sick and weary Like breath of heaven's own calm! And the blest son of comfort, With fearless, loving hand, The Gentiles' great apostle Led to the faithful band. The son of Consolation! Drawn near unto his Lord, He won the martyr's glory, And passed to his reward. With him is faith now ended, For ever lost in sight, But love, made perfect, fills him With praise, and joy, and light. The son of Consolation! Lord, hear our humble prayer, That each of us thy children Such blessed name may bear! That we, sweet comfort shedding O'er homes of pain and woe, Midst sickness and in prisons, May seek thee here below. The sons of Consolation! O what the bliss will be, When Christ the King shall tell them "Ye did it unto me"! The merciful and loving The Lord of life shall own, And as his priceless jewels Shall set them round his throne. Amen. Maud Coote, 1871

Hamburg, 1690 On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry Announces that the Lord is nigh; Awake and hearken, for he brings Glad tidings of the King of kings. Then cleansed be every Christian breast, And furnished for so great a guest; Yea, let us each our hearts prepare For Christ to come and enter there. For thou art our salvation, Lord, Our refuge and our great reward; Without thy grace we waste away, Like flowers that wither and decay. To heal the sick stretch out thine hand, And bid the fallen sinner stand; Once more upon thy people shine, And fill the world with love divine. All praise, eternal Son, to thee, Whose Advent set thy people free; Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Ghost for evermore. Amen. Latin, Charles Coffin, 1736; Tr. John Chandler, 1837; Alt.

Elmhurst:

Edwin Drewett, 1887 Forsaken once, and thrice denied, The risen Lord gave pardon free, Stood once again at Peter's side, And asked him, "Lov'st thou me?" How many times with faithless word Have we denied his holy Name, How oft forsaken our dear Lord, land shrunk when trial came! Saint Peter, when the cock crew clear, Went out and wept his broken faith; Strong as a rock through strife and fear, He served his Lord till death. How oft his cowardice of heart We have without his love sincere, The sin without the sorrow's smart, The shame without the tear! O oft forsaken, oft denied, Forgive our shame, wash out our sin; Look on us from thy Father's side, And let that sweet look win. Hear when we call thee from the deep, Still walk beside us on the shore, Give hands to work, and eyes to weep, And hearts to love thee more. Amen. Cecil Frances Alexander, 1875

Joseph Mainzer, 1841 We praise thy Name, O Lord most High, Redeemer of our souls from death, And all thy mercies magnify, In making known thy saving faith. Thou didst the humble fisher call, Beside the shores of Galilee: At thy command he gave up all, And left his nets to follow thee. O happy choice, for earthly toil The strife to rescue souls from sin; For treasures that may rust and spoil, The crown of heavenly life to win. O favoured one, who, ere he knew The sharpness of the coming cross, Of thy bright beauty caught the view That turns to gain all earthly loss. Thy promise is fulfilled, and he Dares in thy painful steps to go; To drink thy cup of agony, And drain the bitter dregs of woe. Grant, Lord, that hope of seeing thee In bliss may us with courage nerve, The world and all its pomp to flee, Our cross to bear, and thee to serve. Amen. Anonymous

With shining face and bright array, Christ deigns to manifest today What glory shall be theirs above Who joy in God with perfect love. And faithful hearts are raised on high By this great vision's mystery; For which in joyful strains we raise The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise.

Joseph Barnby, 1872 Lord, it is good for us to be High on the mountain here with thee; Where stand revealed to mortal gaze Those glorious saints of other days; Who once received on Horeb's height Th'eternal laws of truth and right; Or caught the still small whisper, higher Than storm, than earthquake, or than fire. Lord, it is good for us to be Entranced, enwrapt, alone with thee; And watch thy glistering raiment glow Whiter than Hermon's whitest snow, The human lineaments that shine Irradiant with a light divine: Till we too change from grace to grace, Gazing on that transfigured face. Lord, it is good for us to be Here on the holy mount with thee; When darkling in the depths of night, When dazzled with excess of light, We bow before the heavenly voice That bids bewildered souls rejoice, Though love wax cold, and faith be dim, "This is my Son; O hear ye him!" Amen. Arthur P. Stanley, 1870; Alt.

In the roll of thine apostles One there stands, Bartholomew, He for whom today we offer, Year by year, our praises due: How he toiled for thee and suffered None on earth can now record; All his saintly life is hidden In the knowledge of his Lord; None can tell us: all is written In the Lamb's great book of life, All the faith, and prayer, and patience All the toiling, and the strife: There are told thy hidden treasures: Number us, O Lord, with them, When thou makest up the jewels Of thy living diadem. Amen. John Ellerton, 1871

Drink, and find salvation here. O that we, thy truth confessing, And thy holy word possessing, Jesus, may thy love adore! Unto thee our voices raising, Thee with all thy ransomed praising, Ever and for evermore. Amen. Latin cento; Tr. Robert Campbell, 1850

These keep the guard amid Salem's dear bowers, Thrones, principalities, virtues, and powers, Where, with the living ones, mystical Four, Cherubim, seraphim bow and adore. Still let them succor us; still let them fight, Lord of angelic hosts, battling for right; Till, where their anthems they ceaselessly pour, We with the angels may bow and adore. Amen.

Refrain

Angels of Jesus, angels of light, Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night. Onward we go, for still we hear them singing, "Come, weary souls, for Jesus bids you come"; And through the dark, its echoes sweetly ringing, The music of the Gospel leads us home. Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing, The voice of Jesus sounds o'er land and sea, And laden souls by thousands meekly stealing, Kind Shepherd, turn their weary steps to thee. Rest comes at length, though life be long and dreary, The day must dawn, and darksome night be past; Faith's journeys end in welcome to the weary, And heaven, the heart's true home, will come at last. Angels, sing out your faithful watches keeping; Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above; Till morning's joy shall end the night of weeping, And life's long shadows break in cloudless love.

Some wait around him ready still To sing his praise and do his will, And some, when he commands them, go To guard his servants here below. Lord, give thine angels every day Command to guard us on our way, And bid them every evening keep Their watch around us while we sleep. So shall no wicked thing draw near To do us harm, or cause us fear; And we shall dwell, when life is past, With angels round thy throne at last. Amen. John Mason Neale, 1842; Alt.

And still the Church through all her days Uplifts the strains that never cease, The blessèd Virgin's hymn of praise, The aged Simeon's words of peace. O happy saint! whose sacred page, So rich in words of truth and love, Pours on the Church from age to age This healing unction from above; The witness of the Savior's life, The great apostle's chosen friend Through weary years of toil and strife, And still found faithful to the end. So grant us, Lord, like him to live, Beloved by man, approved by thee, Till thou at last the summons give, And we, with him, thy face shall see. William D. Maclagan, 1873

O may thy soldiers, faithful, true, and bold, Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old, And win, with them, the victor's crown of gold. O blest communion, fellowship divine! We feebly struggle, they in glory shine; Yet all are one in thee, for all are thine. And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long, Steals on the ear the distant triumph song, And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong. The golden evening brightens in the west; Soon, soon to faithful warriors cometh rest; Sweet is the calm of Paradise the blest. But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day; The saints triumphant rise in bright array; The King of glory passes on his way. From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast, Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host, Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

Who are these of dazzling brightness, These in God's own truth arrayed, Clad in robes of purest whiteness, Robes whose luster ne'er shall fade, Ne'er be touched by time's rude hand? Whence comes all this glorious band? These are they who have contended For their Savior's honour long, Wrestling on till life was ended, Following not the sinful throng: These, who well the fight sustained, Triumph by the Lamb have gained. These are they whose hearts were riven, Sore with woe and anguish tried, Who in prayer full oft have striven With the God they glorified: Now, their painful conflict o'er, God has bid them weep no more. These, like priests, have watched and waited, Offering up to Christ their will, Soul and body consecrated, Day and night they serve him still. Now in God's most holy place, Blest they stand before his face. German; Heinrich T. Schenck, 1719; Tr. Frances E. Cox, 1841; rev., 1864

O hearts are bruised and dead, And homes are bare and cold, And lambs for whom the Shepherd bled Are straying from the Fold!

PART I

Now, my tongue, the mystery telling Of the glorious Body sing, And the Blood, all price excelling, Which the Gentiles' Lord and King, Once on earth amongst us dwelling, Shed for this world's ransoming! Given for us and condescending To be born for us below, He with men in converse blending Dwelt, the seed of truth to sow, Till he closed with wondrous ending His most patient life of woe. That last night at supper lying, Mid the Twelve, his chosen band, Jesus, with the Law complying, Keeps the Feast its rites demand; Then, more precious food supplying, Gives himself with his own hand. Word-made-flesh true bread he maketh By his word his Flesh to be; Wine his Blood; which whoso taketh Must from carnal thoughts be free; Faith alone, though sight forsaketh, Shows true hearts the mystery.

Therefore we, before him bending, This great Sacrament revere; Types and shadows have their ending, For the newer rite is here; Faith, our outward sense befriending, Makes our inward vision clear.

Samuel Smith, 1874 There's a Friend for little children Above the bright blue sky, A Friend who never changes, Whose love will never die; Our earthly friends may fail us, And change with changing years, This Friend is always worthy Of that dear Name he bears. There's a rest for little children Above the bright blue sky, Who love the blessed Savior, And to the Father cry; A rest from every turmoil, From sin and sorrow free, Where every little pilgrim Shall rest eternally. There's a home for little children Above the bright blue sky, Where Jesus reigns in glory, A home of peace and joy; No home on earth is like it, Nor can with it compare; For every one is happy Nor could be happier there. There's a song for little children Above the bright blue sky, A song that will not weary, Though sung continually; A song which even angels Can never, never sing; They know not Christ as Savior, But worship him as King. There's a crown for little children Above the bright blue sky, And all who look for Jesus Shall wear it by and by; All, all above is treasured, And found in Christ alone: Lord, grant thy little children To know thee as their own. Amen. Albert Midlane, 1859

Ellacombe:

Wirtemberg, 1784 O Father, all creating, Whose wisdom, love, and power First bound two lives together In Eden's primal hour, Today to these thy children Thine earliest gifts renew-- A home by thee made happy, A love by thee kept true. O Savior, Guest most bounteous Of old in Galilee, Vouchsafe today thy presence With these who call on thee; Their store of earthly gladness Transform to heavenly wine, And teach them, in the tasting, To know the gift is thine. O Spirit of the Father, Breathe on them from above, So mighty in thy pureness, So tender in thy love; That, guarded by thy presence, From sin and strife kept free, Their lives may own thy guidance, Their hearts be ruled by thee. Except thou build it, Father, The house is built in vain; Except thou, Savior, bless it, The joy will turn to pain; But naught can break the marriage Of hearts in thee made one, And love thy Spirit hallows Is endless love begun. Amen. John Ellerton, 1876

O perfect Life, be thou their full assurance Of tender charity and steadfast faith, Of patient hope, and quiet, brave endurance, With childlike trust that fears nor pain nor death. Grant them the joy which brightens earthly sorrow; Grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife, And to life's day the glorious unknown morrow That dawns upon eternal love and life. Amen.

Melchior Vulpius, c. 1609 The voice that breathed o'er Eden, That earliest wedding day, The primal marriage blessing, It hath not passed away. Still in the pure espousal Of Christian man and maid, The holy Three are with us, The threefold grace is said. Be present, aweful Father, To give away this bride, As Eve thou gav'st to Adam Out of his own pierced side: Be present, Son of Mary, To join their loving hands, As thou didst bind two natures In thine eternal bands! Be present, holiest Spirit, To bless them as they kneel, As thou, for Christ the Bridegroom, The heavenly Spouse dost seal! O spread thy pure wing o'er them, Let no ill power find place, When onward to thine altar Their hallowed path they trace, To cast their crowns before thee In perfect sacrifice, Till to the home of gladness With Christ's own Bride they rise. Amen. John Keble, 1857

I thank thee too that thou hast made Joy to abound; So many gentle thoughts and deeds Circling us round, That in the darkest spot of earth Some love is found. I thank thee more that all our joy Is touched with pain; That shadows fall on brightest hours; That thorns remain; So that earth's bliss may be our guide, And not our chain. For thou who knowest, Lord, how soon Our weak heart clings, Hast given us joys, tender and true, Yet all with wings; So that we see gleaming on high Diviner things. I thank thee, Lord, that thou hast kept The best in store; We have enough, yet not too much To long for more: A yearning for a deeper peace, Not known before. I thank thee, Lord, that here our souls, Though amply blest, Can never find, although they seek, A perfect rest; Nor ever shall, until they lean On Jesus' breast. Amen. Adelaide A. Procter, 1858

For one thing only, Lord, dear Lord, I plead: Lead me aright Though strength should falter and though heart should bleed, Through peace to light. I do not ask, O Lord, that thou shouldst shed Full radiance here Give but a ray of peace, that I may tread Without a fear. I do not ask my cross to understand, My way to see; Better in darkness just to feel thy hand, And follow thee. Joy is like restless day; but peace divine Like quiet night. Lead me, O Lord, till perfect day shall shine, Through peace to light. Amen. Adelaide A. Procter, 1862

If I find him, if I follow, What his guerdon here? "Many a sorrow, many a labor, Many a tear." If I still hold closely to him, What hath he at last? "Sorrow vanquished, labor ended, Jordan past." If I ask him to receive me, Will he say me nay? "Not till earth, and not till heaven Pass away." Finding, following, keeping, struggling, Is he sure to bless?

When Satan flings his fiery darts, I look to thee; my terrors cease; Thy cross a hiding-place imparts: Thou art my Peace. Standing alone on Jordan's brink, In that tremendous, latest strife, Thou wilt not suffer me to sink: Thou art my Life. Thou wilt my every want supply, E'en to the end, whate'er befall: Through life, in death, eternally, Thou art my All. Amen. Charlotte Elliott, 1869; Alt.

Jesus, perfect my trust, Strengthen the hand of my faith: Let me feel thee near when I stand On the edge of the shore of death; Feel thee near when my feet Are slipping over the brink; For it may be I'm nearer home, Nearer now than I think.

Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark!

Thou bidd'st the north or south wind blow: The lonely sea-bird is thy care; And in the clouds which come and go, We see thy chariots everywhere. The sun that lights the homeland dear Spreads the new morning o'er the deep; And in the dark thy stars appear, Keeping their watches while we sleep. Our friends seem near when thou art nigh; And homeless on the ocean foam, Beneath an ever-changing sky, With thee we are at rest, at home. And so, secure from all alarms, Thy seas beneath, thy skies above, Clasped in the everlasting arms, We rest in thine unslumbering love. Amen. Henry Burton, 1905

Far called our navies melt away, On dune and headland sinks the fire; Lo, all our pomp of yesterday Is one with Nineveh and Tyre! Judge of the nations, spare us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget. If, drunk with sight of power, we loose Wild tongues that have not thee in awe, Such boastings as the Gentiles use, Or lesser breeds without the law: Lord God of hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget.

O Jesus Christ, Incarnate Son, Who bore our flesh that men might see The Vision of the Perfect Life Fashioned in their humanity; By all thy words of heavenly truth, By all thy deeds of mercy wrought, By all the passion of thy cross, By the redemption thou hast brought; Hasten the time of our release, Bring in thy reign of truth and peace. O Holy Spirit, who dost touch The prophets with thy sacred fire, Eternal Wisdom to whose light All seekers after truth aspire; Behold the warring sons of men, The helpless by the strong oppressed, The truth with error still concealed, The evil grudgingly confessed; Hasten the time of our release, Bring in thy reign of truth and peace. O God Triune, thy Church today In penitence before thee kneels, Mourning her years of slothful ease, Her deafness to the world's appeals; Divided where she should be one, Enamoured of a lesser strife, Tithing the mint and cummin while Men perish for the Bread of Life; Hasten the time of our release, Bring in thy reign of truth and peace. Restore to us the vision, Lord, Descend with fires of Pentecost; Our tongues unloose, our hearts inflame, To preach the Gospel to the lost: Here at thy feet our prayer is made, Here life and wealth we dedicate; Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, Lord, thy anointing we await; Hasten the time of our release, Bring in thy reign of truth and peace.

If the way be drear, If the foe be near, Let not faithless fears o'ertake us, Let not faith and hope forsake us; For through many a woe To our home we go. When we seek relief From a long-felt grief; When temptations come alluring, Make us patient and enduring; Show us that bright shore Where we weep no more. Jesus, still lead on, Till our rest be won: Heavenly Leader, still direct us, Still support, console, protect us, Till we safely stand In our Fatherland. Amen. German; N. L. von Zinzendorf, 1721; Tr. Jane Borthwick, 1846

St. Lawrence:

Leighton G. Hayne, 1863 O Thou who makest souls to shine With light from brighter worlds above, And droppest glistening dew divine On all who seek a Savior's love; Do thou thy benediction give On all who teach, on all who learn, That so thy Church may holier live, And every lamp more brightly burn. Give those that teach pure hearts and wise, Faith, hope, and love, all warmed by prayer: Themselves first training for the skies, They best will raise their people there. Give those that learn the willing ear, The spirit meek, the guileless mind; Such gifts will make the lowliest here Far better than a kingdom find. O bless the shepherd, bless the sheep, That guide and guided both be one, One in the faithful watch they keep Until this hurrying life be done. If thus, good Lord, thy grace be given, Our glory meets us ere we die; Before we upward pass to heaven We taste our immortality. Amen. John Armstrong, 1847

Keep far our foes, give peace at home: Where thou art guide, no ill can come. Teach us to know the Father, Son, And thee of both to be but One, That, through the ages all along, This may be our endless song: Praise to thy eternal merit, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

And since within no walls confined, Thou dwellest in the humble mind: Let all within thy house who come, Departing, take thee to their home. Yet everywhere thou guid'st thine own To raise for thee an earthly throne; And where thy Name thou dost record, There thou wilt come and bless them, Lord! Great Shepherd of thy chosen few, Thy former mercies here renew; And here to wayward hearts proclaim The sweetness of thy saving Name! Here may we prove the might of prayer, To strengthen faith and sweeten care: To teach our faint desires to rise, And bring all heaven before our eyes! Here to the babe newborn on earth, Grant thou the newer, better birth; By water and the Holy Ghost Restoring all that Adam lost. Here to the weary, hungry soul, Give thou the gift that maketh whole; The bread that is Christ's Flesh, for food, The wine that is the Savior's Blood. Lord, we are few, but thou art near; Nor short thine arm, nor deaf thine ear; O rend the heavens, come quickly down, And make a thousand hearts thine own! Amen. William Cowper, 1769; Alt.

Thy will was in the builders' thought; Thy hand unseen amidst us wrought; Through mortal motive, scheme, and plan, Thy wise eternal purpose ran. In weakness and in want we call On thee for whom the heavens are small; Thy glory is thy children's good, Thy joy thy tender Fatherhood. O Father, deign these walls to bless; Fill with thy love their emptiness; And let their door a gateway be To lead us from ourselves to thee. Amen. John G. Whittier, 1872

In thy house, great God, we offer Of thine own to thee; And for thine acceptance proffer, All unworthily, Hearts and minds, and hands and voices, In our choicest melody.

John Stainer, 1875 O Thou in whom thy saints repose, When life's brief conflict finds its close, Behold us met before thy face To hallow this their resting-place: Safe are the souls whom thou dost keep; And safely here their dust shall sleep. Thou knowest, Lord, for thou hast wept Beside the tomb where Lazarus slept, What tears must flow, what hearts must bleed When here we sow the precious seed: Thou still rememberest, on thy throne, Thy garden grave and sealèd stone. Bid then thy hosts encamp around This chosen spot of holy ground: Here let calm hope with memory dwell, And faith of heavenly comfort tell: No thought of ill, no footstep rude, Profane the sacred solitude. Here when thy mourners shall repair In lonely grief and trembling prayer, Lift thou sad hearts and streaming eyes To those fair glades of Paradise, Where safe within the guarded gate Thy ransomed souls in patience wait. And when the valley, thick with corn, Shall laugh to see thy harvest-morn, Here may the angel reapers find Full many a sheaf for thee to bind, And in thy golden garner store, Our fruit of tears for evermore. Amen. John Ellerton, 1870

In Babilone:

Ancient Dutch Melody; pub. c. 1710; harm. Winfred Douglas, 1918; See the Conqueror mounts in triumph; See the King in royal state, Riding on the clouds, his chariot, To his heavenly palace gate! Hark! the choirs of angel voices Joyful alleluias sing, And the portals high are lifted To receive their heavenly King. Who is this that comes in glory, With the trump of jubilee? Lord of battles, God of armies, He hath gained the victory! He who on the cross did suffer, He who from the grave arose, He has vanquished sin and Satan; He by death has spoiled his foes. While he raised his hands in blessing, He was parted from his friends While their eager eyes behold him, He upon the clouds ascends; He who walked with God and pleased him, Preaching truth and doom to come, He, our Enoch, is translated To his everlasting home. Now our heavenly Aaron enters, With his blood, within the veil; Joshua now is come to Canaan, And the kings before him quail; Now he plants the tribes of Israel In their promised resting-place; Now our great Elijah offers Double portion of his grace. Thou hast raised our human nature On the clouds to God's right hand: There we sit in heavenly places, There with thee in glory stand. Jesus reigns, adored by angels; Man with God is on the throne; Mighty Lord, in thine Ascension, We by faith behold our own. Amen. Christopher Wordsworth, 1862

I Bind unto myself today The strong Name of the Trinity, By invocation of the same, The Three in One and One in Three.

Verse 1 ends here; the other verses continue;

I bind this day to me for ever, By power of faith, Christ's Incarnation; His baptism in Jordan river; His death on cross for my salvation; His bursting from the spicèd tomb; His riding up the heavenly way; His coming at the day of doom: I bind unto myself today. I bind unto myself the power Of the great love of cherubim; The sweet 'Well done' in judgment hour; The service of the seraphim; Confessors' faith, apostles' word, The patriarchs' prayers, the prophets' scrolls; All good deeds done unto the Lord, And purity of virgin souls. I bind unto myself today The virtues of the star-lit heaven, The glorious sun's life-giving ray, The whiteness of the moon at even, The flashing of the lightning free, The whirling wind's tempestuous shocks, The stable earth, the deep salt sea, Around the old eternal rocks. I bind unto myself today The power of God to hold and lead, His eye to watch, his might to stay, His ear to hearken to my need; The wisdom of my God to teach, His hand to guide, his shield to ward; The word of God to give me speech, His heavenly host to be my guard.

PART II

(Sung to Dierdre)

Christ be with me, Christ within me, Christ behind me, Christ before me, Christ beside me, Christ to win me, Christ to comfort and restore me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ in quiet, Christ in danger, Christ in hearts of all that love me, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.

(Sung to St. Patrick)

I bind unto myself the Name, The strong Name of the Trinity; By invocation of the same, The Three in One, and One in Three. Of whom all nature hath creation; Eternal Father, Spirit, Word: Praise to the Lord of my salvation, Salvation is of Christ the Lord. Amen. Irish; St. Patrick (372-466); Tr. Cecil Frances Alexander, 1885

On our way rejoicing, As we homeward move, Hearken to our praises, O thou God of love! If with honest-hearted Love for God and man, Day by day thou find us Doing what we can, Thou who giv'st the seedtime Wilt give large increase, Crown the head with blessings, Fill the heart with peace. On our way rejoicing Gladly let us go; Conquered hath our Leader, Vanquished is our foe! Christ without, our safety; Christ within, our joy; Who, if we be faithful, Can our hope destroy? Unto God the Father Joyful songs we sing; Unto God the Savior Thankful hearts we bring; Unto God the Spirit Bow we and adore, On our way rejoicing Now and evermore! Amen. John S. B. Monsell, 1863

To Victory:

Joseph Barnby, 1872

(The refrain is sung before and after each verse.)

Refrain

We march, we march to victory! With the cross of the Lord before us, With his loving eye looking down from the sky, And his holy arm spread o'er us. We come in the might of the Lord of light, In reverent train to meet him; And we put to flight the armies of night, That the sons of the day may greet him. Our sword is the Spirit of God on high, Our helmet is his salvation, Our banner, the cross of Calvary, Our watchword, the Incarnation. And the choir of angels with song awaits Our march to the golden Sion; For our Captain has broken the brazen gates, And burst the bars of iron. Then onward we march, our arms to prove, With the banner of Christ before us, With his eye of love looking down from above, And his holy arm spread o'er us. Gerard Moultrie, 1867

Lead on, O King Eternal, Till sin's fierce war shall cease, And holiness shall whisper The sweet Amen of peace; For not with swords loud clashing, Nor roll of stirring drums, But deeds of love and mercy, The heavenly kingdom comes. Lead on, O King Eternal: We follow, not with fears; For gladness breaks like morning Where'er thy face appears; Thy cross is lifted o'er us; We journey in its light: The crown awaits the conquest; Lead on, O God of might. Amen. Ernest W. Shurtleff, 1888

Desire of thee my longing heart enthralls, Desire at home to be: Wide from the world outleaping, O'er hill, and vale, and plain, My soul's strong wing is sweeping, Thy portals to attain. O gladsome day and yet more gladsome hour! When shall that hour have come, When my rejoicing soul its own free power May use in going home? Itself to Jesus giving In trust to his own hand, To dwell among the living In that blest Fatherland. Great fastness thou of honour! thee I greet: Throw wide thy gracious gate, An entrance free to give these longing feet, At last released, though late, From wretchedness and sinning, And life's long, weary way; And now, of God's gift, winning Eternity's bright day. Unnumbered choirs before the Lamb's high throne There shout the jubilee, With loud resounding peal and sweetest tone, In blissful ecstasy: A hundred thousand voices Take up the wondrous song; Eternity rejoices God's praises to prolong. German; Johann M. Meyfart, 1626; Tr. William R. Whittingham, 1860; cento.

544. O what the joy and the glory must be

Four 10's

O Quanta Qualia:

François de La Feilée, 1808; harm. John Bacchus Dykes, 1868

May be sung in unison.

O what the joy and the glory must be, Those endless Sabbaths the blessèd ones see! Crown for the valiant, to weary ones rest; God shall be all, and in all ever blest. What are the Monarch, his court, and his throne? What are the peace and the joy that they own? O that the blest ones who in it have share, All that they feel could as fully declare! Truly Jerusalem name we that shore, Vision of peace that brings joy evermore; Wish and fulfillment can severed be ne'er, Nor the thing prayed for come short of the prayer. There, where no troubles distraction can bring, We the sweet anthems of Sion shall sing; While for thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise Thy blessed people eternally raise. There dawns no Sabbath, no Sabbath is o'er, Those Sabbath-keepers have one evermore; One and unending is that triumph song Which to the angels and us shall belong. Now, in the meanwhile, with hearts raised on high, We for that country must yearn and must sigh; Seeking Jerusalem, dear native land, Through our long exile on Babylon's strand. Low before him with our praises we fall, Of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all; Of whom, the Father; and in whom, the Son; Through whom, the Spirit, with them ever One. Amen. Latin; Ascribed to Peter Abelard (1079-1142); Tr. John Mason Neale, 1854

Come, then, let us hasten yonder! Here let all, Great and small, Kneel in awe and wonder! Love him who with love is yearning! Hail the star That from far Bright with hope is burning!

561. Joy because the circling year

Four 7's, with Alleluia

Nassau:

Dresden, 1694 Joy because the circling year Brings our day of blessings here; Day when first the Light divine On the Church began to shine. Like to quivering tongues of flame Unto each the Spirit came: Tongues that each might hear their call; Fire, that love might burn in all. So the wondrous works of God Wondrously were spread abroad; Every tribe's familiar tone Made the glorious marvel known. Still the Spirit's fullness, Lord, On thy waiting Church be poured! Once thou on thy Church didst shower Mighty signs and words of power; Humbler things we ask thee now, Gifts of heaven to men below; Grant our burdened heart release, Grant thine own abiding peace.

Refrain

Alleluia! Amen. Latin; Tr. John Ellerton and Fenton J. A. Hort, 1871
