The eternal gifts of Christ the King

Author: St Ambrose, c. 340-97; J. M. Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: NEH1985 #213b (1986) Tune Title: AETERNA CHRISTI MUNERA Lyrics: 1 The eternal gifts of Christ the King, The Apostles’ glorious deeds, we sing; And while due hymns of praise we pay, Our thankful hearts cast grief away. 2 The Church in these her princes boasts, These victor chiefs of warriors hosts; The soldiers of the heavenly hall, The lights that rose on earth for all. 3 ’Twas thus the yearning faith of saints, The unconquered hope that never faints, The love of Christ that knows not shame, The prince of this world overcame. 4 In these the Father’s glory shone; In these the will of God the Son; In these exults the Holy Ghost; Through these rejoice the heavenly host. 5 Redeemer, hear us of thy love, That, with this glorious band above, Hereafter, of thine endless grace, Thy servants also may have place. Amen. Topics: The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holidays: General; Apostles and Evangelists; Office Hymn

Once, only once, and once for all

Author: William Bright, 1824-1901 Hymnal: NEH1985 #304 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: ALBANO Lyrics: 1 Once, only once, and once for all, His precious life he gave; Before the Cross in faith we fall, And own it strong to save. 2 'One offering, single and complete,' With lips and hearts we say; But what he never can repeat He shows forth day by day. 3 For as the priest of Aaron’s line Within the holiest stood, And sprinkled all the mercy-shrine With sacrificial blood; 4 So he, who once atonement wrought, Our Priest of endless power, Presents himself for those he bought In that dark noontide hour. 5 His Manhood pleads where now it lives On heaven’s eternal throne, And where in mystic rite he gives Its presence to his own. 6 And so we show thy death, O Lord, Till thou again appear, And feel, when we approach thy board, We have an altar here.

Lead, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom

Author: John Henry Newman, 1801-90 Hymnal: NEH1985 #392 (1986) Meter: 10.4.10.4.10.10 Tune Title: ALBERTA Lyrics: 1 Lead, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom, Lead thou me on; The night is dark, and I am far from home, Lead thou me on. Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see The distant scene; one step enough for me. 2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou Shouldst lead me on; I loved to choose and see my path; but now Lead thou me on. I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not past years. 3 So long thy power hath blest me, sure it still Will lead me on O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till The night is gone, And with the morn those angel faces smile, Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.

He sat to watch o'er customs paid

Author: William Bright, 1824-1901 Hymnal: NEH1985 #189 (1986) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Tune Title: ALFRETON Lyrics: 1 He sat to watch o’er customs paid, A man of scorned and hardening trade, Alike the symbol and the tool Of foreign masters’ hated rule. 2 But grace within his breast had stirred; There needed but the timely word: It came, true Lord of souls, from thee, That royal summons, 'Follow me.' 3 Enough, when thou wast passing by, To hear thy voice, to meet thine eye: He rose, responsive to the call, And left his task, his gains, his all. 4 O wise exchange! with these to part, And lay up treasure in the heart-- Who now with crown of light doth shine Among the apostolic line. 5 Come, Saviour, as in days of old; Pass where the world has strongest hold, And faithless care and selfish greed Are thorns that choke the holy seed. 6 Who keep thy gifts, O bid them claim The steward’s, not the owner’s name; Who yield up all for thy dear sake, Let them of Matthew’s wealth partake.

This our song shall ever be; For we have not hope nor Saviour If we have not hope in thee. 2 All for Jesus! thou wilt give us Strength to serve thee hour by hour: None can move us from thy presence While we trust thy love and power. 3 All for Jesus! at thine altar Thou dost give us sweet content; There, dear Saviour, we receive thee In thy holy sacrament. 4 All for Jesus! thou hast loved us, All for Jesus! thou hast died, All for Jesus! thou art with us, All for Jesus, glorified! 5 All for Jesus! All for Jesus! This the Church's song shall be, Till at last the flock is gathered One in love, and one in thee. Topics: Sacraments and Other Rites Holy Communion Languages: English

Who are these, like stars appearing

Author: H. T. Schenck, 1656-1727; Frances Cox, 1812-97 Hymnal: NEH1985 #231 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Tune Title: ALL SAINTS Lyrics: 1 Who are these, like stars appearing, These before God's throne who stand? Each a golden crown is wearing; Who are all this glorious band? Alleluya, hark! they sing, Praising loud their heavenly King. 2 Who are these of dazzling brightness, These in God's own truth arrayed, Clad in robes of purest whiteness, Robes whose lustre ne'er shall fade, Ne'er be touched by time's rude hand-- Whence comes all this glorious band? 3 These are they who have contended For their Saviour's honour long, Wrestling on till life was ended, Following not the sinful throng; These, who well the fight sustained, Triumph through the Lamb have gained. 4 These are they whose hearts were riven, Sore with woe and anguish tried, Who in prayer full oft have striven With the God they glorified; Now, their painful conflict o'er, God has bid them weep no more. 5 These like priests have watched and waited, Offering up to Christ their will, Soul and body consecrated, Day and night to serve him still: Now, in God's most holy place Blest they stand before his face.

'Lift up your hearts!' We lift them, Lord, to thee

Author: Henry Montagu Butler, 1833-1918 Hymnal: NEH1985 #398 (1986) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Tune Title: ALL SOULS Lyrics: 1 'Lift up your hearts!' We lift them, Lord, to thee; Here at thy feet none other may we see: 'Lift up your hearts!' E'en so, with one accord, we lift them up, we lift them to the Lord. 2 Above the level of the former years, The mire of sin, the slough of guilty fears, The mist of doubt, the blight of love's decay, O Lord of Light, lift all our hearts to-day! 3 Above the swamps of subterfuge and shame, The deeds, the thoughts, that honour may not name, The halting tongue that dares not tell the whole, O Lord of Truth, lift every Christian soul! 4 Lift every gift that thou thyself hast given: Low lies the best till lifted up to heaven: Low lie the bounding heart, the teeming brain, Till, sent from God, they mount to God again. 5 Then, as the trumpet-call, in after years, 'Lift up your hearts!' rings pealing in our ears, Still shall those hearts respond, with full accord, 'We lift them up, we lift them to the Lord!'
