God Be with You Till We Meet Again
Author: Jeremiah Eames Rankin Meter: 9.8.8.9 Appears in 1,164 hymnals Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 Lyrics: 1 God be with you till we meet again;
Loving counsels guide, uphold you,
With a Shepherd's care enfold you:
God be with you till we meet again.
2 God be with you till we meet again;
Unseen wings protecting hide you,
Daily manna still provide you:
God be with you till we meet again.

When life’s perils thick confound you;
Put unfailing arms around you:
God be with you till we meet again.
4 God be with you till we meet again;
Keep love’s banner floating o’er you,
Strike death’s threatening wave before you:
God be with you till we meet again.

When all thy mercies, O my God
Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 997 hymnals Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies, O my God,
my rising soul surveys,
transported with the view, I'm lost
in wonder, love, and praise.
2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul
thy tender care bestowed,
before my infant heart conceived
from whom those comforts flowed.
3 When in the slippery paths of youth
with heedless steps I ran,
thine arm unseen conveyed me safe,
and led me up to man.
*4 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
my daily thanks employ,
and not the least a cheerful heart
which tastes those gifts with joy.
5 Through every period of my life
thy goodness I'll pursue,
and after death in distant worlds
the glorious theme renew.
6 Through all eternity to thee,
a joyful song I'll raise;
for O, eternity's too short
to utter all thy praise. Topics: Proper 13 Year C; Proper 19 Year B Used With Tune: CONTEMPLATION
When all thy mercies, O my God
Soldiers of Christ, arise
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Appears in 888 hymnals Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of Christ, arise,
and put your armour on,
strong in the strength which God supplies
through his eternal Son;
strong in the Lord of hosts,
and in his mighty power;
who in the strength of Jesus trusts
is more than conqueror.
2 Stand, then, in his great might,
with all his strength endued;
and take, to arm you for the fight,
the panoply of God.
To keep your armour bright
attend with constant care,
still walking in your Captain's sight,
and watching unto prayer.
3 From strength to strength go on,
wrestle, and fight, and pray;
tread all the powers of darkness down,
and win the well-fought day,
that, having all things done
and all your conflicts passed,
you may o'ercome through Christ alone,
and stand complete at last. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Discipleship; Conflict; Victory Used With Tune: FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH

When Morning Gilds the Skies
Author: Edward Caswall Meter: 6.6.6 D Appears in 699 hymnals Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Lyrics: 1 When morning gilds the skies,
my heart awaking cries:
may Jesus Christ be praised!
Alike at work and prayer
to Jesus I repair:
may Jesus Christ be praised!
2 Does sadness fill my mind?
A solace here I find:
may Jesus Christ be praised!
Or fades my earthly bliss?
My comfort still is this:
may Jesus Christ be praised!
3 Let earth's wide circle round
in joyful notes resound:
may Jesus Christ be praised!
Let air and sea and sky
from depth to height reply:
may Jesus Christ be praised!
4 Be this, while life is mine,
my canticle divine:
may Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this the eternal song
through all the ages long:
may Jesus Christ be praised!

As Sons of the Day and Daughters of Light
Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:8-23 Lyrics: 1 As sons of the day and daughters of light,
no longer we sleep like creatures of night,
for Jesus has died that with him we may live;
by all he has given we learn how to give.
2 One body in Christ, let all play their part:
the lazy be warned, the timid take heart;
let those who are hurt never pay back with wrong,
but serve one another: together be strong!
3 Be constant in prayer, at all time rejoice,
in all things give thanks--let God hear your voice!
Alive to the Spirit, alert to the word,
test all things, and hold to what pleases the Lord.
4 May God who first called, gave peace and made whole,
preserve us from fault in body and soul;
our Lord Jesus Christ keep us firm in his grace
until at his coming we meet face to face.
