Church of the ever-living God
Shepherd divine, our wants relieve
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 159 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Shepherd divine, our wants relieve
in this our evil day;
to all thy tempted followers give
the power to watch and pray.
2 Long as our fiery trials last,
long as the cross we bear,
O let our souls on thee be cast
in never-ceasing prayer.
3 The Spirit's interceding grace
give us in faith to claim;
to wrestle till we see thy face,
and know thy hidden name.
4 Till thou thy perfect love impart,
till thou thyself bestow,
be this the cry of every heart,
'I will not let thee go.'
5 I will not let thee go, unless
thou tell thy name to me;
with all thy great salvation bless,
and make me all like thee.
6 Then let me on the mountain-top
behold thine open face;
where faith in sight is swallowed up,
and prayer in endless praise. Topics: Transfiguration Scripture: 1 Peter 4:12 Used With Tune: ST ETHELDREDA
Shepherd divine, our wants relieve
Searcher of hearts, before Thy face
Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 38 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Searcher of hearts, before Thy face
I all my soul display,
And, conscious of its innate arts,
Entreat Thy strict survey.
2 If, lurking in its inmost folds,
I any sin conceal,
O let a ray of light divine
The secret guile reveal!
3 If in these fatal fetters bound
A wretched slave I lie:
Smite off my chains, and wake my soul
To light and liberty!
4 To humble penitence and prayer
Be gentle pity given;
Speak ample pardon to my heart,
And seal its claim to heaven. Topics: The Christian Life Wisdom and Self-Knowledge; Eighth Sunday after Trinity; Twenty Third Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: ST. ETHELDREDA
Searcher of hearts, before Thy face
God will I bless all times; his praise
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God will I bless all times; his praise
my mouth shall still express.
2 My soul shall boast in God: the meek
shall hear with joyfulness.
3 Extol the Lord with me, let us
his name together praise;
4 I sought the Lord, he heard, and did
above all fears me raise.
5 They looked to him and lightened were:
their faces were not shamed;
6 this poor man cried, God heard, and him
from all distress redeemed.
7 The angel of the Lord encamps,
and round encompasseth
all those about that do him fear,
and them delivereth.
8 O taste and see that God is good:
who trusts in him is blessed.
9 Fear God his saints: none that him fear
shall be with want oppressed.
10 The lions young may hungry be,
and they may lack their food:
but they that truly seek the Lord
shall not lack any good.
11 O children, hither do ye come,
and unto me give ear;
I shall you teach to understand
how ye the Lord should fear.
12 What man is he that life desires,
to see good would live long?
13 Thy lips refrain from speaking guile,
and from ill words thy tongue.
14 Depart from ill, do good, seek peace,
pursue it earnestly.
15 God’s eyes are on the just; his ears
are open to their cry.
16 The face of God is set against
those that do wickedly,
that he may quite out from the earth
cut off their memory.
17 The righteous cry unto the Lord,
he unto them gives ear;
and they out of their troubles all
by him delivered are.
18 The Lord is ever nigh to them
in heart that broken be;
those who in spirit contrite are
he saveth graciously.
19 The troubles that afflict the just
in number many be;
but yet at length out of them all
the Lord doth set him free.
20 He carefully his bones doth keep,
whatever may befall;
that not so much as one of them
can broken be at all.
21 Ill shall the wicked slay; condemned
shall be who hate the just.
22 The Lord redeems his servants’ souls;
none perish that him trust. Scripture: Psalm 34 Used With Tune: ST ETHELREDA
God will I bless all times; his praise
Beyond the everlasting hills
Author: Ernest Edwin Ryden, b.1886 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Beyond the everlasting hills,
Above the starry skies,
My spirit seeks the home of peace,
Where tears shall dim no eyes.
2 No shadows there shall ever fall,
Nor weary night and long;
No silver cords shall broken be
To hush the sound of song. A-men.
3 There shall I find again the love
Of those I cherished here;
And friendship's ties shall holier be,
And bonds of love more dear.
4 There shall I see thee, O my God,
Creator, Saviour, Friend;
And with angelic voices join
In worship without end.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Holy Week; The Life In Christ Contemplation; The Life In Christ Life Everlasting; Sacraments and Rites Burial of the Dead Used With Tune: ST. ETHELDREDA
Beyond the everlasting hills
Within the Churchyard, Side by Side
Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Within the churchyard, side by side,
Are many long low graves;
And some have stones set over them,
On some the green grass waves.
2. Full many a little Christian child,
Woman, and man, lies there;
And we pass near them every time
When we go in to prayer.
3. They cannot hear our footsteps come,
They do not see us pass;
They cannot feel the warm bright sun
That shines upon the grass.
4. They do not hear when the great bell
Is ringing overhead;
They cannot rise and come to church
With us, for they are dead.
5. But we believe a day shall come
When all the dead will rise,
When they who sleep down in the grass,
Will ope again their eyes.
6. For Christ our Lord was buried once,
He died and rose again,
He conquered death, He left the grave;
And so will Christian men.
7. So when the friends we love the best
Lie in their churchyard bed,
We must not cry too bitterly
Over the happy dead;
8. Because, for our dear Savior’s sake,
Our sins are all forgiv’n;
And Christians only fall asleep
To wake again in Heav’n. Used With Tune: ST. ETHELDREDA Text Sources: Hymns for Little Children, 1848

Those Who Are Holy
Praise ye the Lord: who serve the Lord
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord: who serve the Lord,
O praise, the Lord’s name praise.
2 The Lord's name, blessed let it be
from this time forth always.
3 From rising sun to where he sets,
the Lord’s name to be praised.
4 'Bove nations all the Lord is high,
’bove heavens his glory raised.
5 Unto the Lord our God that dwells
on high, who can compare?
6 Himself that humbleth things to see
in heaven and earth that are.
7 He lifts the helpless from the dust,
the poor from low estate;
8 That he may him with the princes set;
his people's princes great.
9 The barren woman house to keep
he maketh, and to be
of sons a mother full of joy.
Praise to the Lord give ye. Scripture: Psalm 113 Used With Tune: ST ETHELREDA
Praise ye the Lord: who serve the Lord
Thy hands have made and fashioned me
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: JOD THE TENTH PART
73 Thy hands have made and fashioned me;
teach me thy laws, O Lord.
74 They who thee fear see me with joy,
for I trust in thy word.
75 That righteous are thy judgments, Lord,
I know, and do confess;
and that thou hast afflicted me
in truth and faithfulness.
76 O let thy kindness merciful,
I pray thee, comfort me,
as to thy servant promised was
in faithfulness by thee.
77 And let thy tender mercies come
to me, that I may live;
because thy holy laws to me
sweet delectation give.
78 O let the proud ashamed be,
for they without a cause
with me have falsely dealt; but I
will muse upon thy laws.
79 Let such as fear thee, and have known
thy statutes, turn to me.
80 In thy laws let my heart be sound,
that shamed I may not be. Scripture: Psalm 119:73-80 Used With Tune: ST ETHELREDA
Thy hands have made and fashioned me
