Blest be the tie that binds

Author: John Fawcett Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2,283 hymnals Topics: Brotherhood and Service Lyrics: Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Jesus' love: The fellowship of Christian minds Is like to that above. Before our Father's throne We pour united prayers; Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one; Our comforts and our cares. 446 We share our mutual woes, Our mutual burdens bear; And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear. When we at death must part, Not like the world's, our pain; But one in Christ, and one in heart, We part to meet again. From sorrow, toil, and pain, And sin, we shall be free; And perfect love and friendship reign Throughout eternity. Used With Tune: BOYLSTON

Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 846 hymnals Topics: Brotherhood and Service Lyrics: Hail to the Lord's Anointed, Great David's greater Son! Hail, in the time appointed, His reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, To set the captive free; To take away transgression, And rule in equity. He comes with succour speedy To those who suffer wrong, To help the poor and needy, And bid the weak be strong; To give them songs for sighing, Their darkness turn to light, Whose souls, condemned and dying, Were precious in his sight. He shall come down like showers Upon the fruitful earth, And love, joy, hope, like flowers, Spring in his path to birth: Before him on the mountains Shall peace, the herald, go; And righteousness in fountains From hill to valley flow. Kings shall bow down before him. And gold and incense bring; All nations shall adore him, His praise all people sing; To him shall prayer unceasing And daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end. O'er every foe victorious, He on his throne shall rest; From age to age more glorious, All-blessing and all-blest: The tide of time shall never His covenant remove; His Name shall stand for ever, His changeless Name of Love.

Through the night of doubt and sorrow

Author: Bernhard S. Ingemann; Sabine Baring-Gould Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 319 hymnals Topics: Brotherhood and Service Lyrics: Through the night of doubt and sorrow Onward goes the pilgrim band, Singing songs of expectation, Marching to the promised land. Clear before us through the darkness Gleams and burns the guiding light: Brother clasps the hand of brother, Stepping fearless through the night. One, the light of God's own presence, O'er his ransomed people shed, Chasing far the gloom and terror, Brightening all the path we tread: One, the object of our journey, One, the faith which never tires, One, the earnest looking forward, One, the hope our God inspires. One, the strain the lips of thousands Lift as from the heart of one; One the conflict, one the peril, One, the march in God begun: One, the gladness of rejoicing On the far eternal shore, Where the One Almighty Father Reigns in love for evermore. 500 Onward therefore, pilgrim brothers, Onward, with the cross our aid! Bear its shame, and fight its battle, Till we rest beneath its shade! Soon shall come the great awaking; Soon the rending of the tomb; Then the scattering of all shadows, And the end of toil and gloom! Used With Tune: ST ASAPH Text Sources: Danish

'tis not for naught; Thine earthly loss is heavenly gain; Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not; The Master praises: what are men? Go, labour on! enough, while here, If he shall praise thee, if he deign The willing heart to mark and cheer: No toil for him shall be in vain. Go, labour on, while it is day! The world's dark night is hastening on: Speed, speed thy work! cast sloth away! It is not thus that souls are won. 447 Toil on! faint not! keep watch, and pray! Be wise the erring soul to win! Go forth into the world's highway! Compel the wanderer to come in! Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice! For toil comes rest, for exile home; Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's voice, The midnight peal, "Behold, I come!" Used With Tune: ANGEL'S SONG
