For All the Saints
Author: William W. How Appears in 583 hymnals Topics: National Hymns Lyrics: 1 For all the saints who from their labors rest,
Who Thee by faith before the world confessed,
Thy name, O Jesus, be forever blest:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
2 Thou wast their rock, their fortress, and their might,
Thou, Lord, their captain in the well-fought fight;
Thou, in the darkness drear, their one true light:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
3 O may Thy soldiers, faithful, true, and bold,
Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,
And win with them the victor's crown of gold:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
4 O blest communion, fellowship divine!
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
Yet all are one in Thee, for all are Thine;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
5 But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day;
The saints triumphant rise in bright array;
The King of glory passes on His way:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
6 From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast,
Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,
Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost:
Alleluia! Alleluia!

The Lord is near! with Sinai tread
Author: Alexander Clark Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Fast-Day; Sudden National Calamity Lyrics: 1 The Lord is near! with Sinai trend
He comes to earth again;
From sudden darkness overhead,
A tongue of lightning, clear and dread,
Enough to wake the dusty dead,
Proclaims God's will to men.
2 Oh, bleeding country, now arise,
And call upon the Lord;
Thy broken heart and tearful eyes
Win pity on thee from the skies,
Through Christ, the world's slain sacrifice,
Who saves thee by his word.
3 Thou God of nations, hear our prayer;
We lift our thoughts to thee;
Our sinful nation's life, oh spare!
And may our grief thy grace declare,
By every Christly cross we bear
To bless and make men free.
The Lord is near! with Sinai tread

From foes, that round us rise
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Prayer for national Deliverance Lyrics: 1 From foes, that round us rise,
O God of heav'n, defend,
Who brave the vengeance of the skies,
And with thy saints contend.
2 Behold, from distant shores,
And desert wilds they come,
Combine for blood their barb'rous force,
And thro' thy cities roam.
3 Beneath the silent shade,
Their sacred plots they lay,
Our peaceful walls by night invade,
And waste the fields by day.
4 And will the God of grace,
Regardless of our pain,
Permit secure that impious race,
To riot in their reign?
5 In vain their secret guile,
Or open force they prove;
His eye can pierce the deepest veil,
His hand their strength remove.
6 Yet save them, Lord, from death,
Lest we forget their doom;
But drive them with thine angry breath,
Thro' distant lands to roam.
7 Then shall our grateful voice
Proclaim our guardian God;
The nations round the earth rejoice,
And sound thy praise abroad. Scripture: Psalm 59
From foes, that round us rise

break with thine iron rod
the tyrannies of sin,

and purity and love?
When shall all hatred cease,
as in the realms above?
3 When comes the promised time,
the end of strife and war;
when lust, oppression, crime
and greed shall be no more?
4 O Lord our God, arise
and come in your great might!
revive our longing eyes
which languish for your sight.
5 As rebels scorn your name
and wolves devour your fold,
by many deeds of shame
we learn that love grows cold.
6 On nations near or far
thick darkness gathers yet:
arise, O Morning Star,
arise and never set! Used With Tune: ST. CECILIA
Your kingdom come, O God!

On high in might to reign;
Captivity Thou leadest
A captive in Thy train.

By men who did rebel,
Who pray that now Jehovah
their God with them may dwell.

Our heavy burden bears,
The God of our salvation
Who for His people cares.

Our God is strong to save;
The Lord alone is able
To ransom from the grave.

Ye kingdoms of the earth;
Sing unto God, all people,
And praise His matchless worth.
He rides in royal triumph
Upon the heav'ns abroad;
He speaks, the mountains tremble
Before the voice of God.

Ascribe to God on high;
His arm protects His people
Who on His pow'r rely.
Forth from Thy holy dwelling
Thy awful glories shine;
Thou strengthenest Thy people;
Unending praise be Thine.
