Let Us Break Bread Together
All People That on Earth Do Dwell
Author: William Kethe, d. c. 1594 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 719 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;
Him serve with mirth, his praise forth tell,
Come we before him, and rejoice.
2 Know that the Lord is God indeed;
Without our aid he did us make;
We are his folk, he does us feed,
And for his sheep he does us take.
3 O enter then his gates with praise;
Approach with joy his courts unto;
Praise, laud, and bless his Name always,
For it is seemly so to do.
4 For why? the Lord our God is good:
His mercy is for ever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.
5 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God whom heav'n and earth adore,
From us and from the angel host
Be praise and glory evermore. Topics: General Music for Worship Gathering Scripture: Psalm 100 Used With Tune: OLD HUNDREDTH

Leave to thy God to order and provide—
In ev'ry change he faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul– thy best, thy heav’nly friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
2 Be still, my soul— thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as he has the past;
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake—
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul the waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while he dwelt below.
3 Be still, my soul— the hour is hast’ning on
When we shall be forever with the Lord,
When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul— when change and tears are past,
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last. Topics: Ritual Music Pastoral Care of the Sick Used With Tune: FINLANDIA Text Sources: Neue Sammlung Geistliche Lieder, 1752

Your glory fills the night;
Your face and garments, like the sun,
Shine with unborrowed light.

Your beauty to behold,
Where Moses and Elijah stand,
Your messengers of old.

Promise of things to be!
We hail your body glorified,
And our redemption see.
4 Before we taste of death,
We see your kingdom come;
We long to hold the vision bright,
And make this hill our home.
5 'Tis good, Lord, to be here!
Yet we may not remain;
But since you bid us leave the mount,
Come with us to the plain. Topics: Seasonal Music Lent Scripture: Luke 9:32-33 Used With Tune: SWABIA

Pange, Lingua, Gloriosi (Sing, My Tongue, the Savior's Glory)
Author: St. Thomas Aquinas, 1227-1274; Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: LATIN -
1 Pange, lingua, gloriosi
Corporis mysterium
Sanguinisque pretiosi,
Quem in mundi pretium
Fructus ventris generosi
Rex effudit gentium.
2 Nobis datus, nobis natus
Ex intacta Virgine,
Et in mundo conversatus,
Sparso verbi semine,
Sui moras incolatus
Miro clausit ordine.
3 In supremae nocte coenae,
Recumbens cum fratribus,
Observata lege plene
Cibis in legalibus,
Cibum turbae duodenae
Se dat suis manibus.
4 Verbum caro, panem verum
Verbo carnem efficit:
Fitque sanguis Christi merum,
Et si sensus deficit,
Ad firmandum cor sincerum
Sola fides sufficit.
5 Tantum ergo Sacramentum
Veneremur cernui:
Et antiquum documentum
Novo cedat ritui;
Praestet fides supplementum
Sensuum defectui.
6 Genitori, Genitoque
Laus et jubilatio,
Salus, honor, virtus quoque
Sit et benedictio:
Procedenti ab utroque
Compar sit laudatio.

1 Sing, my tongue, the Savior’s glory,
Of his flesh the myst'ry sing:
Of the Blood, all price exceeding,
Shed by our immortal King,
Destined for the world’s redemption,
From a noble womb to spring.
2 Of a pure and spotless virgin
Born for us on earth below,
He, as man, with us conversing,
Stayed, the seeds of truth to sow;
Then he closed in solemn order
Wondrously his life of woe.
3 On the night of that last supper,
Seated with his chosen band,
He, the Paschal victim eating,
First fulfills the Law’s command;
Then as food, to the disciples
Gives himself with his own hand.
4 Word made flesh, the bread of nature
By his word to flesh he turns;
Wine into his blood he changes:
What though sense no change discerns?
Only be the heart in earnest,
Faith its lesson quickly learns.
5 Down in adoration falling,
This great sacrament we hail;
Over ancient forms of worship
Newer rites of grace prevail;
Faith tells us that Christ is present,
When our human senses fail.
6 To the everlasting Father,
And the Son who made us free,
And the Spirit, God proceeding
From them each eternally,
Be salvation, honor, blessing,
Might and endless majesty.
---
Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ,
King of endless glory! Used With Tune: ST THOMAS (TANTUM ERGO)

Blessed Feasts of Blessed Martyrs
Author: John M. Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blessed feasts of blessed martyrs,
Holy women, holy men,
With our love and admiration,
Greet we your return again.
Worthy deeds they wrought, and wonders,
Worthy of the name they bore;
We, with joyful praise and singing,
Honor them for evermore.
2 Faith prevailing, hope unfailing,
Loving Christ with single heart,
Thus they, glorious and victorious,
Bravely bore the martyr's part,
By contempt of ev'ry anguish,
By unyielding battle done;
Victors at the last, they triumph,
With the host of angels one.
3 Therefore, all that reign in glory,
Faithful heirs with Christ on high,
Join to ours your supplication
When before Christ we draw nigh,
Praying that, this life completed,
All its fleeting moments past,
By Christ's grace we may be worthy
Of eternal bliss at last. Topics: Solemnities and Feasts Saints Used With Tune: IN BABILONE Text Sources: 11th cent.
