Give us the wings of faith to rise
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 514 hymnals Topics: Holy Days and Various Occasions Saints' Days: All Saints' Day (November 1) Lyrics: 1. Give us the wings of faith to rise
within the veil, and see
the saints above, how great their joys,
how bright their glories be.
2. We ask them whence their victory came;
they, with united breath,
ascribe their conquest to the Lamb,
their triumph to his death.
3. They marked the footsteps that he trod,
his zeal inspired their quest,
and following their incarnate God,
they reached the promised rest.
4. Our glorious Leader claims our praise
for his own pattern given;
while the long cloud of witnesses
show the same path to heaven. Used With Tune: SAN ROCCO

Not Alone for Mighty Empire
Author: William P. Merrill, 1867-1954 Appears in 85 hymnals Topics: All Saints Day Lyrics: 1 Not alone for mighty empire,
Stretching far o'er land and sea;
Not alone for bounteous harvests,
Lift we up our hearts to Thee.
Standing in the living present,
Memory and hope between,
Lord, we would with deep thanksgiving
Praise Thee most for things unseen.
2 Not for battleship and fortress,
Not for conquests of the sword;
But for conquests of the spirit
Give we thanks to Thee, O Lord;
For the heritage of freedom,
For the home, the church, the school;
For the open door to manhood
In a land the people rule.
3 For the armies of the faithful,
Souls that passed and left no name;
For the glory that illumines
Patriot lives of deathless fame;
For our prophets and apostles,
Loyal to the living Word;
For all heroes of the Spirit,
Give we thanks to Thee, O Lord.
4 God of justice, save the people
From the clash of race and creed,
From the strife of class and faction:
Make our nation free indeed.
Keep her faith in simple manhoood
Strong as when her life began,
Till it find its full fruition
In the brotherhood of man.
Amen. Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL

Blest are the pure in heart
Author: John Keble, 1792-1866 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 399 hymnals Topics: Year A All Saints' Day Lyrics: 1 Blest are the pure in heart,
for they shall see our God;
the secret of the Lord is theirs,
their soul is Christ's abode.
2 The Lord, who left the heav'ns
our life and peace to bring,
to dwell in lowliness with us,
our pattern and our King.
3 Still to the lowly soul
he doth himself impart,
and for his dwelling and his throne
chooseth the pure in heart.
4 Lord, we thy presence seek;
may ours this blessing be;
give us a pure and lowly heart,
a temple meet for thee. Scripture: Matthew 5:8 Used With Tune: FRANCONIA Text Sources: Vs. 2 and 4: William John Hall's "Psalms and Hymns" (1836), alt.

Am I a soldier of the cross
Author: I. Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,941 hymnals Topics: The Church Year All Saints Day; The Church Year All Saints Day Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross,
A follower of the Lamb?
And shall I fear to own His cause,
Or blush to speak His name?
2 Must I be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed through bloody seas?
3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God?
4 Sure I must fight if I would reign;
Increase my courage, Lord;
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy word.
5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war,
Shall conquer, though they die;
They view the triumph from afar,
And seize it with their eye.
6 When that illustrious day shall rise,
And all thine armies shine
In robes of victory through the skies,
The glory shall be Thine.

Sound the note of praise above!
Jesus reigns, and heaven rejoices;

See, He sits on yonder throne;
Jesus rules the world alone.

All above, and makes it fair;
Lord of life, Thy smile enlightens,
Cheers, and charms Thy people here.
When we think of love like Thine,
Lord, we own it love divine.
3 King of glory, reign forever;
Thine an everlasting crown:
Nothing from Thy love shall sever
Those whom Thou hast made Thine own:
Happy objects of Thy grace,
Destined to behold Thy face.

Bring, O bring the glorious day,
When the awful summons hearing,
Heaven and earth shall pass away.
Then, with golden harps, we'll sing,
"Glory, glory,to our King." Used With Tune: [Hark! ten thousand harps and voices]
