Anniversary Hymn

Author: Katharine L. Bates Hymnal: CYBER #191 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: Our fathers, in the years grown dim Lyrics: 1. Our fathers, in the years grown dim, reared slowly, wall by wall A holy dwelling place for Him, that filleth all in all. They wrought His house of faith and prayer, the rainbow round the throne, A precious temple builded fair on Christ the Cornerstone. 2. The angel of the golden reed hath found the measure strait; He hears the Great Foundation plead for ampler wall and gate. The living pillars of the Truth grown on from morn to morn, And still the heresy of youth is age’s creed outworn. 3. But steadfast is their inner shrine wrought of the heart’s fine gold, Its hunger and its thirst divine, with jewels manifold, Red sard of pain, hope’s emerald gleam, white peace, no glory missed Of righteous life and saintly dream, jasper to amethyst. 4. Spirit of truth, forbid that we who now God’s temple are And keep the faith with minds more free, our father’s fabric mar. Better than thoughts the stars that search is self still sacrificed, For only love can build the church whose cornerstone is Christ. Languages: English Tune Title: ALL SAINTS

Angel of Peace

Author: Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. Hymnal: CYBER #192 Meter: 10.10.10.10 D First Line: Angel of peace, thou hast wandered too long Lyrics: 1. Angel of peace, thou hast wandered too long; Spread thy white wings to the sunshine of love! Come while our voices are blended in song, Fly to our ark like the storm-beaten dove— Fly to our ark on the wings of the dove; Speed o’er the far-sounding billows of song, Crowned with the olive leaf garland of love; Angel of peace, thou hast waited too long! 2. Brothers we meet on this altar of thine, Mingling the gifts we have gathered for thee; Sweet with the odors of myrtle and pine, Breeze of the prairie and breath of the sea— Meadow and mountain and forest and sea; Sweet is the fragrance of myrtle and pine, Sweeter the incense we offer to thee, Brothers once more round this altar of thine! 3. Angels of Bethlehem, answer the strain! Hark! a new birth-song is filling the sky! Loud as the storm wind that tumbles the main, Bid the full breath of the organ reply— Loud let the tempest of voices reply; Roll its long surge like the earth-shaking main! Swell the vast song till it mounts to the sky! Angels of Bethlehem, echo the strain! Languages: English Tune Title: AMERICAN HYMN

Another six days’ work is done Another Sabbath is begun; Return, my soul, enjoy thy rest, Improve the day that God hath blest. 2. Come, praise the Lord, whose love assigns So sweet a rest to weary minds; Provides an antepast of Heaven And gives this day the food of seven. 3. O that our thoughts and thanks may rise As grateful incense to the skies! And draw from Heaven that sweet repose Which none but he who feels it knows. 4. A heavenly calm pervades the breast Is the dear pledge of glorious rest, Which for the Church of God remains, The end of cares, the end of pains. 5. With joy, great God, Thy works we view, In various scenes, both old and new; With praise we think on mercies past, With hope we future pleasure taste. 6. In holy duties let the day, In holy comforts pass away; The Sabbath thus we love to spend, In hope of one which ne’er shall end. Languages: English Tune Title: RETREAT
