My spirit longs for thee

Angel-voices ever singing

Author: Francis Pott, 1832-1909 Hymnal: NEH1985 #336 (1986) Meter: 8.5.8.5.8.4.3 Tune Title: ANGEL VOICES 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 For we know that thou rejoicest O'er each work of thine; Thou didst ears and hands and voices For thy praise design; Craftsman's art and music's measure For thy pleasure All combine. 4 In thy house, great God, we offer Of thine own to thee; And for thine acceptance proffer All unworthily Hearts and minds and hands and voices In our choicest Psalmody. 5 Honour, glory, might and merit Thine shall ever be, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Blessed Trinity. Of the best that thou hast given Earth and heaven Render thee. Topics: Michaelmas Languages: English

At even when the sun was set

Author: Henry Twells, 1823-1900 Hymnal: NEH1985 #243 (1986) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Tune Title: ANGELUS Lyrics: 1 At even when the sun was set The sick, O Lord, around thee lay; O, in what divers pains they met! O with what joy they went away! 2 Once more 'tis eventide, and we Oppressed with various ills draw near; What if thy form we cannot see? We know and feel that thou art here. 3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel; For some are sick, and some are sad, And some have never loved thee well, And some have lost the love they had; 4 And some have found the world is vain, Yet from the world they break not free; And some have friends who give them pain, Yet have not sought a friend in thee; 5 And none, O Lord, have perfect rest, For none are wholly free from sin; And they who fain would serve thee best Are conscious most of wrong within. 6 O Saviour Christ, thou too art Man; Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried; Thy kind but searching glance can scan The very wounds that shame would hide; 7 Thy touch has still its ancient power, No word from thee can fruitless fall; Hear in this solemn evening hour, And in thy mercy heal us all.

Author: T. A. Lacey, 1853-1931 Hymnal: NEH1985 #171 (1986) Meter: 12.12.12.12 Tune Title: ANNUE CHRISTE Lyrics: 1 With golden splendour and with roseate hues of morn, O gracious Saviour, Light of light, this day adorn, Which brings to ransomed sinners hopes of that far home Where saints and angels sing the praise of martyrdom. 2 Peter Keybearer, Paul the Teacher of mankind, Lights of the world and judges sent to loose and bind, Alike triumphant or by cross and sword-stroke found, In life's high senate stand with victor's laurel crowned. 3 Good Shepherd, Peter, unto whom the charge was given To close or open ways of pilgrimage to heaven, In sin's hard bondage held may we have grace to know The full remission thou wast granted to bestow. 4 O noble Teacher, Paul, we trust to learn to thee Both earthly converse and the flight of ecstasy; Till from the fading truths that now we know in part We pass to fullness of delight for mind and heart. 5 *Twin olive brands, pouring oil of gladness forth, Your prayers shall aid us, that for all our little worth, Believing, hoping,loving, we for whom ye plead, This body dying, may attain to life indeed. 6 Now to the glorious Trinity be duly paid Worship and honour, praise and service unafraid, Who in unchanging Unity, one Lord sublime, Hath ever lived as now and to unending time.
