On Our Way Rejoicing

Author: John S. B. Monsell Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 196 hymnals First Line: On our way rejoicing, as we homeward move Lyrics: 1 On our way rejoicing, As we homeward move, Hearken to our praises, O Thou God of love! Is there grief or sadness? Thine it cannot be! Is our sky beclouded? Clouds are not from Thee! On our way rejoicing, As we homeward move, Hearken to our praises, O Thou God of love! 2 If with honest-hearted Love for God and man, Day by day Thou find us Doing what we can, Thou Who giv'st the seed-time Wilt give large increase, Crown the head with blessings, Fill the heart with peace. On our way rejoicing, As we homeward move, Hearken to our praises, O Thou God of love! 3 On our way rejoicing Gladly let us go; Conquered hath our Leader! Vanquished is our foe! Christ without, our safety; Christ within, our joy; Who, if we be faithful, Can our hope destroy? On our way rejoicing, As we homeward move, Hearken to our praises, O Thou God of love! 4 Unto God the Father Joyful songs we sing; Unto God the Saviour Thankful hearts we bring; Unto God the Spirit Bow we and adore, On our way rejoicing Now and evermore. On our way rejoicing, As we homeward move, Hearken to our praises, O Thou God of love!

Christian, dost thou see them

Author: Andrew of Crete, d. 732; John Mason Neale Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 305 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christian, dost thou see them On the holy ground, How the hosts of darkness Compass thee around? Christian, up and smite them, Counting gain but loss: Smite them by the merit Of the holy Cross! 2 Christian, dost thou feel them, How they work within, Striving, tempting, luring, Goading into sin? Christian, never tremble; Never be down-cast; Gird thee for the battle, Watch and pray and fast. 3 Christian, dost thou hear them How they speak thee fair; “Always fast and vigil? Always watch and prayer?” Christian, answer boldly: “While I breathe, I pray.” Peace shall follow battle, Night shall end in day. 4 Hear the words of Jesus: "O My servant true, Thou art very weary,— I was weary too: But that toil shall make thee, Some day all Mine own, But the end of sorrow Shall be near My Throne.” Amen.

Those Eternal Bowers

Author: John Mason Neale; St. John of Damascus Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 60 hymnals First Line: Those eternal bowers man hath never trod Lyrics: Those eternal bowers Man hath never trod, Those unfading flowers Round the Throne of GOD: Who may hope to gain them After weary fight? Who at length attain them Clad in robes of white? He, who gladly barters All on earthly ground; He who, like the Martyrs, Says, ‘I WILL be crowned:’ He, whose one oblation Is a life of love; Clinging to the nation Of the Blest above. Shame upon you, legions Of the Heavenly King, Denizens of regions Past imagining! What! with pipe and tabor Fool away the light, When He bids you labour,— When He tells you,—‘Fight!’ While I do my duty, Struggling through the tide, Whisper Thou of beauty On the other side! Tell who will the story Of our now distress: Oh the future glory! Oh the loveliness! Hymns of the Eastern Church, 1866 Text Sources: Greek
