And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song. 4 The church shall never perish! Her dear Lord to defend, To guide, sustain and cherish Is with her to the end; Though there be those that hate her, And false sons in her pale, Against or foe or traitor She ever shall prevail. 5 'Mid toil and tribulation, And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation Of peace for evermore; Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest, And the great church victorious Shall be the church at rest. 6 Yet she on earth hath union With the God the Three in One, And mystic sweet communion With those whose rest is won: O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we, Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with thee. Amen. Scripture: Romans 12:5 Used With Tune: AURELIA

His glories now we sing, Who died and rose on high, Who died, eternal life to bring, And lives that death may die. 3 Crown him the Lord of love, Behold his hands and side, Rich wounds yet visible above In beauty glorified. No angel in the sky Can fully bear that sight, But downward bends his burning eye At mysteries so bright. 4 Crown him the Lord of peace, Whose pow'r a scepter sways From pole to pole, that wars may cease, Absorbed in prayer and praise. His reign shall know no end, And round his pierced feet Fair flow'rs of Paradise extend Their fragrance ever sweet. 5 Crown him the Lord of years, The risen Lord sublime, Creator of the rolling spheres, The Master of all time.
