From thee all skill and science flow

Author: Charles Kingsley, 1819 - 75 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #216 (1958) Tune Title: ALBANO Lyrics: 1 From thee all skill and science flow, All pity, care, and love, All calm and courage, faith and hope: O pour them from above! 2 And part them, Lord, to each and all, As each and all shall need; To rise, like incense, each to thee, In noble thought and deed. A-men. 3 And hasten, Lord, that perfect day When pain and death shall cease, And thy just rule shall fill the earth With health, and light, and peace; 4 When ever blue the sky shall gleam, And ever green the sod, And man’s rude work deface no more The paradise of God.

Ten thousand times ten thousand

Author: Henry Alford, 1810 - 71 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #595b (1958) Tune Title: ALFORD Lyrics: 1 Ten thousand times ten thousand In sparkling raiment bright, The armies of the ransomed saints Throng up the steeps of light; 'Tis finished, all is finished, Their fight with death and sin; Fling open wide the golden gates, And let the victors in! 2 What rush of alleluias Fills all the earth and sky; What ringing of a thousand harps Bespeaks the triumph high; O day, for which creation And all its tribes were made; O joy, for all its former woes A thousand-fold repaid! A-men. 3 O then what raptured greetings On Canaan's happy shore, What knitting severed friendships up, Where partings are no more! Then eyes with joy shall sparkle That brimmed with tears of late; Orphans no longer fatherless, Nor widows desolate. 4 Bring near thy great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain; Fill up the roll of thine elect, Then take thy power and reign; Appear, Desire of Nations, Thine exiles long for home; Show in the heavens thy promised sign, Thou Prince and Saviour, come!

Author: Sarah Borthwick Findlater, 1823 - 1907; Karl Johann Philipp Spitta, 1801 - 59 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #336 (1958) Tune Title: ALINE Lyrics: 1 O happy home, where thou art loved the dearest, Thou loving Friend, and Saviour of our race, And where among the guests there never cometh One who can hold such high and honored place. 2 O happy home, where two in heart united In holy faith and blessed hope are one, Whom death a little while alone divideth, And cannot end the union here begun. 3 O happy home, whose little ones are given Early to thee, in humble faith and prayer, To thee, their friend, who from the heights of heaven Dost guide and guard with more than mother's care. 4 O happy home, where each one serves thee, lowly, Whatever his appointed work may be, Till every common task seems great and holy, When it is done, O Lord, as unto thee. 5 O happy home, where thou art not forgotten When joy is overflowing, full and free; O happy home, where every wounded spirit Is brought, O great Physician, unto thee; 6 Until at last, when earthly toil is ended, All meet thee in the blessèd home above, From whence thou camest, where thou hast ascended, Thy everlasting home of peace and love.

One there is above all others

Author: John Newton, 1725 - 1807 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #456a (1958) Tune Title: ALL SAINTS Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others, Well deserves the name of Friend; His is love beyond a brother’s, Costly, free, and knows no end: They who once his kindness prove Find it everlasting love. 2 Which of all our friends, to save us, Could or would have shed their blood? But this Saviour died to have us Reconciled in him to God; This was boundless love indeed; Jesus is a friend in need. 3 When he lived on earth abasèd, 'Friend of sinners' was his Name; Now, above all glory raisèd, He rejoices in the same; Still He calls them brethren, friends, And to all their wants attends. 4 O for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love. We, alas, forget too often What a friend we have above; But when home our souls are brought We will love thee as we ought.

The Son of God goes forth to war

Author: Reginald Heber, 1783 - 1826 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #562 (1958) Tune Title: ALL SAINTS NEW Lyrics: 1 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. 2 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-men. 3 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? 4 A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Saviour'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.

A-men. 2 We praise, we worship thee, we trust, And give thee thanks for ever, O Father, that thy rule is just And wise, and changes never; Thy boundless power o'er all things reigns, Thou dost whate'er thy will ordains: 'Tis well thou art our Ruler! 3 O Jesus Christ, our God and Lord, Begotten of the Father, Who hast our fallen race restored And straying sheep dost gather, Thou Lamb of God, enthroned on high, Behold our need, and hear our cry: Have mercy on us, Jesus! 4 O Holy Spirit, precious Gift, Thou Comforter unfailing, Do thou our troubled souls uplift, Against the foe prevailing; Since Christ for us his Blood hath shed, Avert our woes and calm our dread; We trust in thee to help us!

A-men. 3 Thou art giving and forgiving, Ever blessing, ever blest, Well-spring of the joy of living, Ocean-depth of happy rest! Thee our Father, Christ our Brother, All who live in love are thine; Teach us how to love each other, Lift us to the joy divine. 4 Mortals, join the mighty chorus Which the morning stars began; Father-love is reigning o’er us, Brother-love binds man to man. Ever singing, march we onward, Victors in the midst of strife; Joyful music lifts us sunward In the triumph song of life. Amen.
