We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Author: Priscilla Jane Owens (1829-1907) Meter: 10.9.10.9 Appears in 141 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:27-28 First Line: Will your anchor hold in the storms of life Lyrics: 1 Will your anchor hold in the storms of life,
when the clouds unfold their wings of strife?
When the strong tides lift, and the cables strain,
will your anchor drift, or firm remain?
Refrain:
We have an anchor that keeps the soul
steadfast and sure while the billows roll;
fastened to the Rock which cannot move,
grounded firm and deep in the Saviour’s love!
2 Will your anchor hold in the straits of fear,
when the breakers roar and the reef is near?
While the surges rage, and the wild winds blow,
shall the angry waves then your bark o'erflow? [Refrain]
3 Will your anchor hold in the floods of death,
when the waters cold chill your latest breath?
On the rising tide you can never fail,
while your anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain]
4 Will your eyes behold through the morning light
the city of gold and the harbour bright?
Will you anchor safe by the heavenly shore,
when life's storms are past for evermore? [Refrain] Topics: The Holy Spirit The Church Celebrates - Death and Grieving; Assurance; Funerals general; Heaven Used With Tune: WILL YOUR ANCHOR HOLD

Deck Yourself, My Soul, with Gladness
Author: Johann Franck (1618-1677); Catherine Winkworth (1827-1878) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 119 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:18-29 Lyrics: 1 Deck yourself, my soul, with gladness;
leave the gloomy haunts of sadness.
Come into the daylight's splendour,
there with joy your praises render
to the Lord whose grace unbounded
has this royal banquet founded:
though all other powers excelling,
with my soul he makes his dwelling.
2 Lord, I bow before you lowly,
filled with joy most deep and holy,
as with trembling awe and wonder
all your mighty works I ponder -
how, by mystery surrounded,
depth no-one has ever sounded,
none may dare to pierce unbidden
secrets that in you are hidden.
3 Shining sun, my life you brighten,
radiance, you my soul enlighten;
joy, the best of all our knowing,
fountain, swiftly in me flowing:
at your feet I kneel, my Maker -
let me be a fit partaker
of this sacred food from heaven,
for our good, your glory, given.
4 Jesus, bread of life, I pray you,
let me gladly here obey you;
never to my hurt invited,
always by your love delighted:
from this banquet let me measure,
Lord, how vast and deep its treasure;
through the gifts your hands have given
let me be your guest in heaven. Topics: Eucharist; Adoration; Bread; Eucharist Used With Tune: SCHMÜCKE DICH Text Sources: Rev. Hymns for Today's Church, 1982

by the pow'r of grace divine;
let my soul look up with a steadfast hope
and my will be lost in thine. [Refrain]

that before thy throne I spend,
when I kneel in prayer and with thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend. [Refrain]

'til I rest in peace with thee. [Refrain] Topics: Invitation and Response; Consecration; Following Christ; Invitation and Response; Steadfastness Used With Tune: I AM THINE

Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 118 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:22-23 Lyrics: 1 To the name of our salvation
laud and honour let us pay,
which for many a generation
hid in God's foreknowledge lay,
but with holy exultation
we may sing aloud today.
2 Jesus is the name we treasure,
name beyond what words can tell,
name of gladness, name of pleasure,
ear and heart delighting well;
name of power beyond all measure,
saving us from sin and hell.
3 Jesus is the name exalted
over every other name;
in this name, whene'er assaulted
we can put our foes to shame:
strength to those who would have halted,
eyes to blind, and feet to lame.
4 Therefore we in love adoring
this most blessèd name revere,
Holy Jesus, thee imploring
so to write it in us here,
that hereafter, heavenward soaring,
we may sing with angels there. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Risen - Reign and Priesthood; Adoration Of Jesus; Conflict; Jesus Name Used With Tune: TANTUM ERGO SACRAMENTUM Text Sources: 15th century; translated Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1861

Judge Eternal, throned in splendor
Author: Henry Scott Holland (1847-1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 108 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:29 Lyrics: 1 Judge Eternal, throned in splendour,
Lord of lords and King of kings,
with your living fire of judgement
purge this land of bitter things;
solace all its wide dominion
with the healing of your wings.
2 Still the weary folk are pining
for the hour that brings release;
and the city's crowded clangour
cries aloud for sin to cease;
and the homesteads and the woodlands
plead in silence for their peace.
3 Crown, O God, your own endeavour;
cleave our darkness with your sword;
feed the faithless and the hungry
with the richness of your word;
cleanse the body of this nation
through the glory of the Lord. Topics: Our Response to God in intercession and petition; The Church Celebrates National Life; God in judgement and justice; Nation and Society; Word of God Used With Tune: RHUDDLAN
