Forsake me not, my God
Author: S. Franck Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Various Occasions Day of Common Prayer Lyrics: 1 Forsake me not, my God,
Thou God of my salvation!
Give me Thy light, to be
My sure illumination.
My soul to folly turns,
Seeking she knows not what:
O lead her to Thyself;
My God, forsake me not!
2 Forsake me not, my God!
Take not Thy Spirit from me,
And suffer not the might
Of sin to overcome me.
A father pitieth
The children be begot;
My Father, pity me!
My God, forsake me not!
3 Forsake me not, my God,
Thou God of life and power!
Enliven, strengthen me,
In every evil hour:
And when the sinful fire
Within my heart is hot,
Be not Thou far from me:
My God, forsake me not!
4 Forsake me not, my God!
Uphold me in my going,
That evermore I may
Please Thee in all well-doing;
And that Thy will, O Lord,
May never be forgot
In all my works and ways:
My God, forsake me not!
5 Forsake me not, my God!
I would be Thine for ever:
Confirm me mightily
In every right endeavor:
And when my hour is come,
Cleansed from all stain and spot
Of sin, receive my soul:
My God, forsake me not! Used With Tune: [Forsake me not, my God]

We sing the glorious conquest
Author: John Ellerton, 1825-1893 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: Holy Days and Various Occasions Conversion of Saint Paul (January 25) Lyrics: 1. We sing the glorious conquest
before Damascus' gate,
when Saul, the church's spoiler
came breathing fear and hate.
God's light shone down from heaven
and broke cross the path.
His presence pierced and blinded
the zealot in his wrath.
2. O voice that spake within him;
O strong, reproving Word;
O Love that sought and held him
a prisoner of his Lord;
help us to know your kingship
that we, in every hour,
in all that may confront us,
will trust your hidden power.
3. Your grace, by ways mysterious,
our sinful wrath can bind,
and in those least expected
true servants you can find.
In us you seek disciples
to share your cross and crown
and give you final service
in glory at your throne.
Used With Tune: MUNICH

God bless our native land!
Author: C. T. Brooks ; J. S. Dwight Appears in 667 hymnals Topics: Various Occasions National Lyrics: 1 God bless our native land!
Firm may she ever stand,
Through storm and night;
When the wild tempests rave,
Ruler of wind and wave,
Do Thou our country save
By Thy great might.
2 For her our prayers shall rise
To God above the skies;
On Him we wait:
Thou who art ever nigh,
Guarding with watchful eye,
To Thee aloud we cry,
God save the state! Used With Tune: [God bless our native land!]

Whom Thou forevermore dost join in one.

Of tender charity and steadfast faith,
Of patient hope, and quiet, brave endurance,
With childlike trust that fears nor pain nor death.

Grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife,
And to life’s day the glorious unknown morrow
That dawns upon eternal love and life. Used With Tune: [O perfect Love, all human thought transcending]

Sing to the Lord of harvest
Author: J. S. B. Monsell Appears in 122 hymnals Topics: Various Occasions Thanksgiving Day Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord of harvest,
Sing songs of love and praise;
With joyful hearts and voices
Your Hallelujahs raise:
By Him the rolling seasons
In fruitful order move.
Sing to the Lord of harvest
A song of happy love.
2 By Him the clouds drop fatness,
The deserts bloom and spring;
The hills leap up in gladness,
The valleys laugh and sing.
He filleth with His fullness
All things with large increase,
He crowns the year with goodness,
With plenty and with peace.
3 Bring to His sacred altar
The gifts His goodness gave,
The golden sheaves of harvest,
The souls He died to save:
Your hearts lay down before Him,
When at His feet we fall,
And with your lives adore Him,
Who gave His life for all.
4 To God, the gracious Father
Who made us "very good:"
To Christ, who, when we wandered,
Restored us with His blood:
And to the Holy Spirit,
Who doth upon us pour
His blessèd dews and sunshine,
Be praise forevermore. Used With Tune: [Sing to the Lord of harvest]

their triumph to his death.

his zeal inspired their quest,
and following their incarnate God,
they reached the promised rest.

for his own pattern given;
while the long cloud of witnesses
show the same path to heaven. Used With Tune: SAN ROCCO

Blessed feasts of blessed martyrs
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 28 hymnals Topics: Holy Days and Various Occasions Martyrs Lyrics: 1. Blessed feasts of blessed martyrs,
holy women, holy men,
with affection's recollections
greet we your return again.
Worthy deeds they wrought, and wonders,
worthy of the Name they bore;
we, with meetest praise and sweetest,
honor them for evermore.
2. Faith prevailing, hope unfailing,
loving Christ with single heart,
thus they, glorious and victorious,
bravely bore the martyr's part,
by contempt of every anguish,
by unyielding battle done;
victors at the last, they triumph,
with the host of angels one.
3. Therefore, ye that reign in glory,
fellow-heirs with Christ on high,
join to ours your supplication
when before him we draw nigh,
praying that, this life completed,
all its fleeting moments past,
by his grace we may be worthy
of eternal bliss at last.
