For All the Saints

Author: William Walsham How Hymnal: HTLG2017 #293 (2017) Meter: 10.10.10 with refrain First Line: For all the saints who from their labors rest Lyrics: 1 For all the saints who from their labors rest, who Thee by faith before the world confessed; Thy name, O Jesus, be forever blest. Alleluia, Alleluia! 2 Thou wast their Rock, their Fortress and their Might; Thou, Lord, their Captain in the well fought fight; Thou, in the darkness drear, their one true Light. Alleluia, Alleluia! 3 O blest communion, fellowship divine! We feebly struggle, they in glory shine; yet all are one in Thee, for all are Thine. Alleluia, Alleluia! 4 And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long, steals on the ear the distant triumph song, and hearts are brave again, and arms are strong. Alleluia, Alleluia! 5 But then there breaks a still more glorious day: the saints triumphant rise in bright array; the King of glory passes on His way. Alleluia, Alleluia! 6 From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast, through gates of pearl streams in the countless host, in praise of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Alleluia, Alleluia!

Christians, Awake!

Author: John Byrom Hymnal: HTLG2017 #133 (2017) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 First Line: Christians, awake! Salute the happy morn Lyrics: 1 Christians, awake! Salute the happy morn whereon the Savior of the world was born; rise to adore the mystery of love, which hosts of angels chanted from above; with them the joyful tidings first begun, of God incarnate and the virgin's Son. 2 Then to the watchful shepherds it was told, who heard th'angelic herald's voice, "Behold, I bring good tidings of a Savior's birth to you and all the nations of the earth; this day hath God fulfilled His promised Word; this day is born a Savior, Christ the Lord." 3 This may we hope, th'angelic hosts among, to sing, redeemed a glad triumphal song. He that was born upon this joyful day around us all His glory shall display. Saved by His love, incessantly we sing eternal praise to heav'n's almighty King.

Be Still, My Soul

Author: Katrina A. D. von Schlegel; Jane Borthwick Hymnal: HTLG2017 #308 (2017) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 First Line: Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side Lyrics: 1 Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side; bear patiently the cross of grief or pain; 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 thro' 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: when dearest friends depart, and all is darkened in the veil of tears, then shalt thou better know His love, His heart, who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears. Be still, my soul: thy Jesus can repay from His own fullness all He takes away. 4 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: Comfort, Death, and Glory Languages: English Tune Title: FINLANDIA

Spirt of God, Descend upon My Heart

Author: George Croly Hymnal: HTLG2017 #199 (2017) Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: Spirit of God, descend upon my heart Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart, wean it from earth, through all its pulses move. Stoop to my weakness, mighty as Thou art, and make me love Thee as I ought to love. 2 I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies, no sudden rending of the veil of clay, no angel visitant, no op'ning skies, but take the dimness of my soul away. 3 Hast Thou not bid us love Thee, God and King; all, all Thine own--soul, heart, and strength, and mind? I see Thy cross; there teach my heart to cling. O let me seek Thee and O let me find! 4 Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh. Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh. Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer. 5 Teach me to love Thee as Thine angels love, one holy passion filling all my frame; the baptism of the heav'n-descended Dove, my heart an altar, and Thy love its flame.

Here, O My Lord, I See Thee Face to Face

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: HTLG2017 #281 (2017) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Here, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face; here would we touch and handle things unseen; here grasp with firmer hand eternal grace and all my weariness upon Thee lean. 2 Here would I feed upon the bread of God, here drink with Thee the royal wine of heav'n; here would I lay aside each earthly load, here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiv'n. 3 This is the hour of banquet and of song; this is the heav'nly table spread for me; here let me feast, and feasting, still prolong the brief, bright hour of fellowship with Thee. 4 Too soon we rise, the symbols disappear; the feast, though not the love, is past and done; gone are the bread and wine, but Thou art here, nearer than ever, still my Shield and Sun. 5 Feast after feast thus comes, and passes by; yet passing, points to the glad feast above; giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, the Lamb's great bridal feast of bliss and love.

Not What I Am, O Lord

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: HTLG2017 #316 (2017) Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: Not what I am, O Lord, but what Thou art Lyrics: 1 Not what I am, O Lord, but what Thou art, that, that alone can be my soul’s true rest; Thy love, not mine, bids fear and doubt depart, and stills the tempest of my throbbing breast. 2 Thy Name is Love, I hear it from yon cross; Thy Name is Love, I hear it from yon tomb; all meaner love is perishable dross, but this shall light me through time’s thickest gloom. 3 Girt with the love of God on ev'ry side, breathing that love as heav’ns own healing air, I work or wait, still following my Guide, braving each foe, escaping ev'ry snare. 4 ’Tis what I know of Thee, my Lord and God, that fills my soul with peace, my lips with song; Thou art my Health, my Joy, my Staff and Rod; leaning on Thee, in weakness I am strong. 5 More of Thyself, O show me hour by hour; more of Thy glory, O my God and Lord; more of Thyself, in all Thy grace and pow'r; more of Thy love and truth, incarnate Word!

Abide with Me

Author: Henry Francis Lyte Hymnal: HTLG2017 #328 (2017) Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: Abide with me: fast falls the eventide Lyrics: 1 Abide with me: fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away. Change and decay in all around I see. O Thou who changest not, abide with me. 3 I need Thy presence ev'ry passing hour; what but Thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r? Who like Thyself my Guide and Stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. 4 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me. 5 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes; shine through the gloom and point me to the skies. Heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee. In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Topics: Comfort, Death, and Glory Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE

Oh, What Their Joy and Their Glory Must Be

Crowns for the valiant, to weary ones rest; God shall be all, and in all, ever blest. 2 In new Jerusalem joy shall be found, blessings of peace shall forever abound; wish and fulfillment are not severed there, nor the things prayed for come short of the pray'r. 3 We, where no troubles distraction can bring, safely the anthems of Zion shall sing; while for Your grace, Lord, their voices of praise Your blessed people shall evermore raise. 4 Now let us worship our Lord and our King, joyfully raising our voices to sing: Praise to the Father, and praise to the Son, praise to the Spirit, to God, Three in One.

I Sought the Lord

Author: Jean Ingelow Hymnal: HTLG2017 #221 (2017) Meter: 10.10.10.6 First Line: I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew Lyrics: 1 I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew He moved my soul to seek Him, seeking me; it was not I that found, O Savior true; no, I was found of Thee. 2 Thou didst reach forth Thy hand and mine enfold; I walked and sank not on the storm-vexed sea; 'twas not so much that I on Thee took hold, as Thou, dear Lord, on me. 3 I find, I walk, I love, but O, the whole of love is but my answer, Lord, to Thee! For Thou wert long beforehand with my soul, always Thou lovedst me. Topics: Salvation Languages: English Tune Title: PEACE

O Worship the King

Author: Robert Grant Hymnal: HTLG2017 #29 (2017) Meter: 10.10.11.11 First Line: O worship the King, all-glorious above Lyrics: 1 O worship the King, all glorious above, and gratefully sing His pow'r and His love; our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days, pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise. 2 O tell of His might, O sing of His grace, whose robe is the light, whose canopy space. His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, and dark is His path on the wings of the storm. 3 The earth with its store of wonders untold, almighty, Thy pow'r hath founded of old; established it fast by a changeless decree, and round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea. 4 Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light, it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, in Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail; Thy mercies how tender! how firm to the end! Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend. Topics: Revelation and Adoration Languages: English Tune Title: LYONS
