Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates

Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates
Take up thy cross, the Saviour said
Author: Charles Everest, 1814-77 Hymnal: NEH1985 #76 (1986) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Tune Key: A Flat Major Lyrics: 1 Take up thy cross, the Saviour said,
If thou wouldst my disciple be;
Deny thyself, the world forsake,
And humbly follow after me.
2 Take up thy cross; let not its weight
Fill thy weak spirit with alarm;
His strength shall bear thy spirit up,
And brace thy heart, and nerve thine arm.
3 *Take up thy cross, nor heed the shame,
Nor let thy foolish pride rebel;
The Lord for thee the Cross endured,
To save thy soul from death and hell.
4 Take up thy cross then in his strength,
And calmly every danger brave;
'Twill guide thee to a better home,
And lead to victory o'er the grave.
5 Take up thy cross, and follow Christ,
Nor think till death to lay it down;
For only he who bears the cross
May hope to wear the glorious crown.
6 To thee, great Lord, the One in Three,
All praise for evermore ascend;
O grant us in our home to see
The heavenly life that knows no end. Topics: The Christian Year Lent Languages: English Tune Title: BRESLAU

Author: Father Andrew S.D.C., 1869-1946 Hymnal: NEH1985 #89b (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Key: A Flat Major Lyrics: 1 O dearest Lord, thy sacred head
With thorns was pierced for me;
O pour thy blessing on my head
That I may think for thee.
2 O dearest Lord, thy sacred hands
With nails were pierced for me;
O shed thy blessing on my hands
That they may work for thee.
3 O dearest Lord, thy sacred feet
With nails were pierced for me;
O pour thy blessing on my feet
That they may follow thee.
4 O dearest Lord, thy sacred heart
With spear was pierced for me;
O pour thy Spirit in my heart
That I may live for thee. Topics: The Christian Year Passiontide Tune Title: AYRSHIRE
O dearest Lord, thy sacred head
See the Conqueror mounts in triumph
Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-85 Hymnal: NEH1985 #132 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Tune Key: A Flat Major Lyrics: 1 See the Conqueror mounts in triumph,
See the King in royal state
Riding on the clouds his chariot
To his heavenly palace gate;
Hark! the choirs of angel voices
Joyful alleluyas sing,
And the portals high are lifted
To receive their heavenly King.
2 Who is this that comes in glory,
With the trump of jubilee?
Lord of battles, God of armies,
He has gained the victory;
He who on the cross did suffer,
He who from the grave arose,
He has vanquished sin and Satan,
He by death has spoiled his foes.
3 Thou hast raised our human nature
In the clouds to God's right hand;
There we sit in heavenly places,
There with thee in glory stand;
Jesus reigns, adored by angels;
Man with God is on the throne;
Mighty Lord, in thine ascension
We by faith behold our own.
4 Glory be to God the Father;
Glory be to God the Son,
Dying, risen, ascending for us,
Who the heavenly realm has won;
Glory to the Holy Spirit;
To One God in persons Three;
Glory both in earth and heaven,
Glory, endless glory be. Amen.

Christ is our corner-stone
Author: John Chandler, 1806-76 Hymnal: NEH1985 #206 (1986) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Tune Key: A Flat Major Lyrics: 1 Christ is our corner-stone,
On him alone we build;
With his true saints alone
The courts of heaven are filled:
On his great love
Our hopes we place
Of present grace
And joys above.
2 Oh, then with hymns of praise
These hallowed courts shall ring;
Our voices we will raise
The Three in One to sing;
And thus proclaim
In joyful song,
Both loud and long,
That glorious Name.

The grace which we implore;
And may that grace, once given,
Be with us evermore,
Until that day
When all the blest
To endless rest

Christ is our corner-stone
How bright these glorious spirits shine!
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: NEH1985 #227 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Key: A Flat Major Lyrics: 1 How bright these glorious spirits shine!
Whence all their white array?
How came they to the blissful seats
Of everlasting day?
2 Lo! these are they from sufferings great
Who came to realms of light,
And in the blood of Christ have washed
Those robes that shine so bright.
3 Now with triumphal palms they stand
Before the throne on high,
And serve the God they love amidst
The glories of the sky.
4 Hunger and thirst are felt no more,
Nor sun with scorching ray:
God is their sun, whose cheering beams
Diffuse eternal day.
5 The Lamb, who dwells amidst the throne,
Shall o'er them still preside,
Feed them with nourishment divine,
And all their footsteps guide.
6 In pastures green he’ll lead his flock
Where living streams appear;
And God the Lord from every eye
Shall wipe off every tear.

How bright these glorious spirits shine!
Palms of glory, raiment bright
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: NEH1985 #230b (1986) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Tune Key: A Flat Major Lyrics: 1 Palms of glory, raiment bright,
Crowns that never fade away,
Gird and deck the saints in light,
Priests, and kings, and conquerors they.
2 Yet the conquerors bring their palms
To the Lamb amidst the throne,
And proclaim in joyful psalms
Victory through his cross alone.
3 Kings for harps their crowns resign,
Crying, as they strike the chords,
'Take the kingdom, it is thine,
King of kings, and Lord of Lords.'
4 Round the altar priests confess,
If their robes are white as snow,
'Twas the Saviour's righteousness,
And his blood, that made them so.
5 They were mortal too like us;
Ah! when we like them must die,
May our souls, translated thus
Triumph, reign, and shine on high. Topics: The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holidays: General; Common of Saints; All Saints November 1st Tune Title: PALMS OF GLORY

Author: Thomas Ken, 1637-1711 Hymnal: NEH1985 #233 (1986) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Tune Key: A Flat Major Lyrics: 1 Glory to thee, who safe hast kept
And hast refreshed me whilst I slept;
Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake
I may of endless light partake.
2 Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart,
And with the angels bear thy part,
Who all night long unwearied sing
High praise to the eternal King.
3 Lord, I my vows to thee renew;
Scatter my sins as morning dew;
Guard my first springs of thought and will,
And with thyself my spirit fill.
4 Direct, control, suggest, this day
All I design, or do, or say;
That all my powers, with all their might,
In thy sole glory may unite.
5 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow,
Praise him all creatures here below,
Praise him above, y heavenly host,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons Morning Languages: English Tune Title: ST BENET

With one accord our parting hymn of praise.
Guard thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame,
That in this house have called upon thy name.
2 Grant us thy peace, Lord, through the coming night;
Turn thou for us its darkness into light;
From harm and danger keep thy children free,
For dark and light are both alike to thee.
3 Grant us thy peace throughout our earthly life;
Peace to thy Church from error and from strife;
Peace to our land, the fruit of truth and love;
Peace in each heart, thy Spirit from above:
4 Thy peace in life, the balm of every pain;
Thy peace in death, the hope to rise again;
Then, when thy voice shall bid our conflict cease,
Call us, O Lord, to thine eternal peace. Topics: Times and Seasons Evening Languages: English Tune Title: ELLERS
