Rise, O Children of Salvation
Author: Emma F. Bevan, 1827-1909; Justus Falckner, 1672-1723 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Lesser Festivals; Pentecost 27 (Year A); Church Triumphant; Christian Hope; Lesser Festivals; Saints' Days Lyrics: 1 Rise, O children of salvation,
All who cleave to Christ the head!
Wake, awake, O mighty nation,
Lest the foe on Zion tread;
He draws nigh, and would defy
All the hosts of God Most High.
2 Saints and martyrs long before us
Firmly on this ground have stood;
See their banner waving o’er us,
Conqu'rors through the Savior’s blood.
Ground we hold, whereon of old
Fought the faithful and the bold.
3 Fighting, we shall be victorious
By the blood of Christ our Lord;
On our foreheads, bright and glorious,
Shines the witness of his Word;
Spear and shield on battlefield,
His great name; we cannot yield.
4 When his servants stand before him,
Each receiving his reward;
When his saints in light adore him,
Giving glory to the Lord;
"Victory!" our song shall be,
Like the thunder of the sea. Used With Tune: UNSER HERRSCHER
Rise, O Children of Salvation
Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days!
Author: Fred Pratt Green (1903-2000) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: All Saints' (Sun)day Year A; Church Ministry; Communion of Saints; Discipleship; Other Saints and Festivals Philip and James, Apostles; Saints Lyrics: 1 Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days!
A world without saints forgets how to praise.
Their faith in acquiring the habit of prayer,
their depth of adoring, Lord, help us to share.
2 Some march with events to turn them God's way;
some need to withdraw, the better to pray;
some carry the gospel through fire and through flood:
our world is their parish: their purpose is God.
3 Rejoice in those saints, unpraised and unknown,
who bear someone's cross, or shoulder their own:
they shame our complaining, our comforts, our cares:
what patience in caring, what courage, is theirs!
4 Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days!
A world without saints forgets how to praise.
In loving, in living, they prove it is true:
the way of self-giving, Lord, leads us to you. Scripture: Hebrews 11 Used With Tune: HANNOVER
Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days!

Author: Harry Tennyson Domer Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Church Year Minor Festivals Lyrics: 1 O Church of freedom, stand,
A beacon to our land,
In storm and strife!
Inspire us with thy light,
With love of law and right;
Uphold with fearless might
The Word of Life!
2 Church of the Crucified,
Proclaim the death He died,
His royal birth!
Your crowns and branches bring,
Glad hallelujahs sing,
Enthrone Him Lord and King
O'er all the earth!
3 God bless our Church, we pray,
Direct her on her way,
'Mid joy and tears.
Fill her with lowliness,
With love and holiness,
May she Thy grace possess
Through all the years.
Amen.

Who madly seeks your overthrow;
Dread not his rage and power:
What though your courage sometimes faints,
His seeming triumph o'er God's saints
Lasts but a little hour.
2 Fear not! be strong! your cause belongs
To Him who can avenge your wrongs;
Leave it to Him, your Lord:
Though hidden yet from mortal eyes,
His Gideon yet shall for you rise,
Uphold you and His Word.
3 As true as God's own Word is true,
Not earth nor hell, with all their crew,
Against us shall prevail.
A jest and byword are they grown;
"God is with us;" we are His own;
Our victory cannot fail.
4 Amen, Lord Jesus, grant our prayer!
Great Captain, now Thine arm make bare;
Fight for us once again!
So shall Thy saints and martyrs raise
A mighty chorus to Thy praise,
World without end. Amen. Used With Tune: COME UNTO ME

heaven brought near in power divine;
give your unexpected glory

rouse the faith of your disciples —
come, our first and greatest Sign!

more than we can yet imagine,
all the best you have to give:
let us find your hidden riches,
taste your love, believe, and live! Scripture: John 2:1-4 Used With Tune: UNSER HERRSCHER (NEANDER)
