For all the saints who from their labors rest
Author: William Walsham How, 1823-97 Hymnal: Together in Song #455 (1999) Meter: 10.10.10 with alleluias Scripture: Ephesians 3:18-19 Lyrics: 1 For all the saints who from their labors rest,
who to the world their Lord by faith confessed,
your name, O Jesus, be for ever blessed.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
2 You were their rock, their fortress and their might,
you were their captain in the well fought fight;
in deepest darkness still their one true light.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
3 So may your servants, faithful, true, and bold,
fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,
and win, with them, the victor's crown of gold.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
4 O blest communion, fellowship divine!
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine,
all yours, all joined in unity divine.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
5 And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long,
steals on the ear the distant triumph song,
and hearts are brave again, and arms are strong.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
6 The golden evening brightens in the west;
soon, soon to faithful warriors comes their rest,
the peaceful calm of paradise the blest.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
7 But see, there breaks a yet more glorious day;
the saints triumphant rise in bright array;
the King of glory calls passes on his way.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
8 From earth's wide bounds and ocean's farthest shore,
through heaven's gate the holy people pour;
the Three-in-One for ever they adore.

Our blest Redeemer, ere he breathed
Author: Harriet Auber, 1773-1862 Hymnal: Common Praise #193 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.4 Scripture: Ephesians 3:16 Lyrics: 1 Our blest Redeemer, ere he breathed
his tender last farewell,
a guide, a Comforter, bequeathed
With us to dwell.
2 He came sweet influence to impart,
a gracious willing guest,
while he can find one humble heart
wherein to rest.
3 And his that gentle voice we hear,
soft as the breath of even,
that checks each thought, that calms each fear,
and speaks of heaven.
4 And every virtue we possess,
and every conquest won,
and every thought of holiness,
are his alone.
5 Spirit of purity and grace,
our weakness, pitying, see:
O make our hearts thy dwelling-place,
and worthier thee. Topics: Pentecost Languages: English Tune Title: ST CUTHBERT

Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: Glory to God #494 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Ephesians 3:17 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, thou joy of loving hearts,
thou fount of life, thou light of all,
from the best bliss that earth imparts
we turn, unfilled, to heed thy call.
2 Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood;
thou savest those that on thee call;
to them that seek thee thou art good,
to them that find thee, all in all.
3 We taste thee, O thou living bread,
and long to feast upon thee still;
we drink of thee, the fountainhead,
and thirst our souls from thee to fill.
4 Our restless spirits yearn for thee,
where'er our changeful lot is cast,
glad when thy gracious smile we see,
blest when our faith can hold thee fast.
5 O Jesus, ever with us stay;
make all our moments calm and bright.
O chase the night of sin away;
shed o'er the world thy holy light.

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788; Thomas Cotterill, 1779-1823 Hymnal: Common Praise #167 (2000) Meter: 7.7.7.7 with alleluias Scripture: Ephesians 3:8-9 Lyrics: 1 Hail the day that sees him rise, Alleluia,
to his throne above the skies; Alleluia,
Christ, the Lamb for sinners given, Alleluia,
enters now the highest heaven. Alleluia!
2 There for him high triumph waits;
lift your heads, eternal gates.
He hath conquered death and sin;
take the King of Glory in.
3 Lo, the heaven its Lord receives,
yet he loves the earth he leaves;
though returning to his throne,
still he calls mankind his own.
4 See, he lifts his hands above;
see, he shews the prints of love;
hark, his gracious lips bestow
blessings on his church below.
5 Still for us he intercedes,
his prevailing death he pleads;
near himself prepares our place,
he the first-fruits of our race.
6 Lord, though parted from our sight,
far above the starry height,
grant our hearts may thither rise,
seeking thee above the skies. Topics: Ascension; Ascension Day Languages: English Tune Title: LLANFAIR

The Head that once was crowned with thorns
Author: Thomas Kelly (1769-1855) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #438 (2005) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Ephesians 3:19 Lyrics: 1 The Head that once was crowned with thorns
is crowned with glory now;
a royal diadem adorns
the mighty Victor’s brow.
2 The highest place that heaven affords
is his, is his by right,
the King of kings, and Lord of lords,
and heaven’s eternal Light;
3 The joy of all who dwell above,
the joy of all below
to whom he manifests his love,
and grants his name to know:
4 To them the cross, with all its shame,
with all its grace, is given;
their name an everlasting name,
their joy the joy of heaven.
5 They suffer with their Lord below,
they reign with him above,
their profit and their joy to know
the mystery of his love.
6 The cross he bore is life and health,
though shame and death to him,
his people's hope, his people's wealth,
their everlasting theme. Topics: Christ Risen Ascension; Christian Year Ascension; Communion of Saints; Jesus cross Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MAGNUS (NOTTINGHAM)

O Word of God Incarnate
Author: William W. How, 1823-1897 Hymnal: Christian Worship #642 (2021) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Scripture: Ephesians 3:7-12 Lyrics: 1 O Word of God incarnate,
O Wisdom from on high,
O Truth unchanged, unchanging,
O Light of our dark sky,
we praise thee for the radiance
that from the hallowed page,
a lantern to our footsteps,
shines on from age to age.
2 The Church from you, dear Master,
received the gift divine,
and still that light is lifted
o'er all the earth to shine.
It is the chart and compass
that, all life's voyage through,
mid mists and rocks and quicksands
still guides, O Christ, to you.
3 O make your Church, dear Savior,
a lamp of purest gold
to bear before the nations
your true light, as of old.
O teach your wand'ring pilgrims
by this their path to trace
till, clouds and darkness ended,
they see you face to face. Topics: Word of God Languages: English Tune Title: MUNICH

Plunged in a gulf of dark despair
Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #182 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Ephesians 3:17-19 Lyrics: 1 Plunged in a gulf of dark despair,
We wretched sinners lay,
Without one cheerful beam of hope
Or spark of glimmering day.
2 With pitying eyes the Prince of Grace
Behold our helpless grief;
He saw, and--oh, amazing love!--
He ran to our relief.
3 Down from the shining seats above,
With joyful haste he fled,
Entered the grave in mortal flesh,
And dwelt among the dead.
4 Oh, for this love, let rocks and hills
Their lasting silence break,
And all harmonious human tongues
The Saviour's praises speak.
5 Angels, assist our mighty joys,
Strike all your harps of gold;
But when you raise your highest notes,
His love can ne'er be told.
