Alleluia! Alleluia!

Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-85 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #108 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Alleluia! Alleluia! Hearts to heaven and voices raise; Sing to God a hymn of gladness, Sing to God a hymn of praise; He who on the Cross a Victim For the world's salvation bled, Jesus Christ, the King of Glory, Now is risen from the dead. 2 Christ is risen, Christ, the first-fruits Of the holy harvest field Which will all its full abundance At his second coming yield; Then the golden ears of harvest Will their heads before him wave, Ripened by his glorious sunshine From the furrows of the grave. A-men. 3 Christ is risen, we are risen! Shed upon us heavenly grace, Rain and dew and gleams of glory From the brightness of thy face; That we, Lord, with hearts in heaven, Here on earth may fruitful be, And by angel hands be gathered And be ever safe with thee. 4 Alleluia! Alleluia! Glory be to God on high; Alleluia! to the Saviour Who has gained the victory; Alleluia! to the Spirit, Font of love and sanctity; Alleluia! Alleluia! To the Triune Majesty. Amen.

Am I a soldier of the Cross

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #554 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the Cross, A follower of the Lamb, And shall I fear to own his cause Or blush to speak his Name? 2 Must I be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, And sailed through bloody seas? A-men. 3 Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vain world a friend to grace To help me on to God? 4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign-- Increase my courage, Lord-- I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by thy word. 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer, though they die; They see the triumph from afar, By faith they bring it nigh. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all thy armies shine In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be thine.

A-men. 3 O holy Jesus, Prince of Peace and Saviour, To thee we owe the peace that still prevails; Stilling the rude wills of men’s wild behavior And calming passion’s fierce and stormy gales. 4 O Holy Ghost, the Lord and the Life-giver, Thine is the quickening power that gives increase; From thee have flowed, as from a pleasant river, Our plenty, wealth, prosperity and peace. 5 O Triune God, with heart and voice adoring, Praise we the goodness that doth crown our days; Pray we that thou wilt hear us, still imploring Thy love and favor, kept to us always.

And now, O Father, mindful of the love

Author: William Bright, 1824 - 1901 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #278 (1958) Lyrics: 1 And now, O Father, mindful of the love That bought us, once for all, on Calvary's Tree, And having with us him that pleads above, We here present, we here spread forth to thee That only offering perfect in thine eyes, The one true, pure, immortal sacrifice. 2 Look, Father, look on his anointed face, And only look on us as found in him; Look not on our misusings of thy grace, Our prayer so languid, and our faith so dim: For lo, between our sins and their reward We set the Passion of thy Son our Lord. A-men. 3 And then for those, our dearest and our best, By this prevailing presence we appeal; O fold them closer to thy mercy's breast, O do thine utmost for their souls' true weal: From tainting mischief keep them white and clear, And crown thy gifts with strength to persevere. 4 And so we come; O draw us to thy feet, Most patient Saviour, who canst love us still; And by this food, so aweful and so sweet, Deliver us from every touch of ill: In thine own service make us glad and free, And grant us never more to part with thee. Amen. Topics: Sacraments and Rites Holy Communion Languages: English Tune Title: UNDE ET MEMORES

Angel voices ever singing

Author: Francis Pott, 1832-1909 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #240 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Angel voices ever singing Round thy throne of light, Angel harps, for ever ringing, Rest not day nor night; Thousands only live to bless thee, And confess thee Lord of might! 2 Thou, who art beyond the farthest Mortal eye can scan, Can it be that thou regardest Songs of sinful man? Can we know that thou art near us, And wilt hear us? Yea, we can! 3 Yea, we know that thou rejoicest O'er each work of thine; Thou didst ears and hands and voices For thy praise combine; Craftsman's art and music's measure For thy pleasure Didst design. A-men. 4 Here, great God, today we offer Of thine own to thee; And for thine acceptance proffer, All unworthily, Hearts and minds and hands and voices In our choicest Melody. 5 Honor, glory, might and merit Thine shall ever be, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Blessèd Trinity! Of the best that thou hast given Earth and heaven Render thee. Amen. Topics: The Church Worship - The Day's Work; The Church The House of God Languages: English Tune Title: ANGEL VOICES
