Ancient of Days, who sittest throned in glory
Author: William Croswell Doane, 1832 -1913 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #137 (1958) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 Ancient of Days, who sittest throned in glory,
To thee all knees are bent, all voices pray;
Thy love has blessed the wide world’s wondrous story
With light and life since Eden’s dawning day.
2 O Holy Father, who hast led thy children
In all the ages with the fire and cloud
Through seas dry-shod, through weary wastes bewildering:
To thee, in reverent love, our hearts are bowed. A-men.
3 O holy Jesus, Prince of Peace and Saviour,
To thee we owe the peace that still prevails;
Stilling the rude wills of men’s wild behavior
And calming passion’s fierce and stormy gales.
4 O Holy Ghost, the Lord and the Life-giver,
Thine is the quickening power that gives increase;
From thee have flowed, as from a pleasant river,
Our plenty, wealth, prosperity and peace.
5 O Triune God, with heart and voice adoring,
Praise we the goodness that doth crown our days;
Pray we that thou wilt hear us, still imploring
Thy love and favor, kept to us always.

Ancient of Days, who sittest throned in glory
Now once again for help that never faileth
Author: Mildred Whitney Stillman, b. 1890 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #382 (1958) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 Now once again for help that never faileth,
We bring our grievous burden unto thee;
Pour down thy strength, for nothing else availeth,
Bless thou the bowing head, the bending knee,
2 That we may rise and go forth from thine altar,
To bear the load we could not bear before,
With mind serene, with step that does not falter,
Knowing thy hand will open every door; A-men.
3 Knowing there will not be so dark a valley
But those who watch may find thy guiding ray,
Knowing there will not be so blind an alley
But it will open on thy broad highway.
4 O Light that led the saints through all the ages,
O Hope that lifted up the martyr's head,
O Comforter of children and of sages,
Lead on lead on, as thou hast always led!
Amen. Topics: The Life in Christ Repentance and Faith Languages: English Tune Title: WELWYN
Now once again for help that never faileth
Lord of our life, and God of our salvation
Author: Philip Pusey, 1799 - 1855; Matthaus Apelles von Lowenstern, 1594 - 1648 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #157 (1958) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Lyrics: 1 Lord of our life, and God of our salvation,
Star of our night, and hope of every nation,
Hear and receive thy Church's supplication,
Lord God Almighty.
2 See round thine ark the hungry billows curling,
See how thy foes their banners are unfurling;
Lord, while their darts envenomed they are hurling,
Thou canst preserve us. A-men.
3 Lord, thou canst help when earthly armor faileth,
Lord, thou canst save when deadly sin assaileth,
Lord, o'er thy rock nor death nor hell prevaileth;
Grant us thy peace, Lord.
4 Peace in our hearts, our evil thoughts assuaging,
Peace in thy Church, where brothers are engaging,
Peace when the world its busy war is waging;
Calm thy foes' raging.
5 Grant us thy help till backward they are driven;
Grant them thy truth, that they may be forgiven;
Grant peace on earth, and, after we have striven,
Peace in thy heaven.
Amen. Topics: The Church The People of God; The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory Languages: English Tune Title: CLOISTERS
