Accept our evening prayer

Hymnal: Hymns of the Early Church #85 (1913) Meter: 6.6.8.6.8.8 Lyrics: Accept our evening prayer, O Holy Christ our Lord, And grant forgiveness of our sin According to Thy word, Who, by Thy rising, hast revealed A power that lay from man concealed. Oh come, ye people, come, Give praise to Christ your God; The glory of His rising tell To all the world abroad: For He is God, whose power hath hurled The great accuser from the world. 86 Encompass Zion round, And in her midst proclaim The glory of the Son of God, Who back from bondage came; Who burst the gates of death, to win Our freedom from the yoke of sin. Thy Passion, Lord, hath freed Our souls from passion's reign; Nor may we know corruption base, Since Thou hast risen again; Glory to Thee, O Christ the Lord, Son of our God, Incarnate Word!

Wave, wave your banners high

Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: Hymns of the Russian Church #111a (1920) Meter: 6.6.8.6.8.8 Lyrics: Wave, wave your banners high, The day of strife is done, On blood-red field the foemen lie, And victory is won; The march, the toil, the fight are o'er, Now sheathe the sword for evermore. Ah, long the strife endured, And hard the foemen pressed, But now the garland is secured, And weary warriors rest; Now hear your Captain's voice, "Well done," And take the prize your valour won. O peace, when strife is past, O rest, when toil is o'er, O City of the King, at last, And bliss for evermore; Now to the footstool of the King, Your spoils of war and triumphs bring.

Oh! Valiant-for-the-Truth

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #264 (1854) Meter: 6.6.8.6.8.8 Lyrics: Oh! "Valiant-for-the-Truth!" Hail from Thy battle-field, A Christian warrior from thy youth, Who never knew to yield; The conquering armour here lay down, For the white robe, the palm, the crown. 271 Where earth and hell combined God's Image to defame, In darkness hold the immortal mind, In chains the mortal frame; There didst thou choose thy stormy post, Strong in the faith,--thyself a host. Not without patient care, Sore suffering, day-long toil, And many a wrestling night of prayer, Didst thou divide the spoil; Then ransom'd slaves were made to be Free from Man's yoke,--from Satan's free. Now rest upon that bed, Where once thy Captain lay, And sanctified it for the dead In Christ, till His great day; When they, though worlds around them burn, With songs to Zion shall return. In that Jerusalem above, Where all the saints shall meet; Loved with an everlasting love, Around their Saviour's feet! Oh! there with thine our souls be found In life's eternal bundle bound.

Friend after friend departs:

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #338 (1854) Meter: 6.6.8.6.8.8 Lyrics: Friend after friend departs: Who hath not lost a friend? There is no union here of hearts, That finds not here an end: Were this frail world our only rest, Living or dying, none were blest. Beyond the flight of time, Beyond this vale of death, There surely is some blessed clime, Where life is not a breath; Nor life's affections transient fire, Whose sparks fly upward to expire! There is a world above, Where parting is unknown; A whole eternity of love, Form'd for the good alone; And faith beholds the dying here, Translated to that happier sphere. Thus star by star declines, Till all are pass'd away, As morning high and higher shines To pure and perfect day; Nor sink those stars in empty night,-- They hide themselves in heaven's own light.
