Lifts its holy hands above,
Off'ring up on ev'ry shore

To this world so freely giv'n;

This our hymn of grateful praise.

And guide us when perplexed,
And free us from all ills
In this world and the next.

When Love Is Found
Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Appears in 32 hymnals First Line: When love is found and hope comes home Lyrics: 1 When love is found and hope comes home,
Sing and be glad that two are one.
When love explodes and fills the sky,
Praise God and share our maker's joy.

Build both each day that love may dare
To reach beyond home's warmth and light,
To serve and strive for truth and right.
3 When love is tried as loved ones change,
Hold still to hope though all seems strange,
Till ease returns and love grows wise
Through list'ning ears and opened eyes.
4 When love is torn and trust betrayed,
Pray strength to love till torments fade,
Till lovers keep no score of wrong,
But hear through pain love's Easter song.
5 Praise God for love, praise God for life,
In age or youth, in husband, wife.
Lift up your hearts, let love be fed
Through death and life in broken bread. Topics: Light; Love; Praise; Sacraments/Rites Marriage Used With Tune: O WALY WALY

Sing with All the Saints in Glory
Author: William J. Irons, 1812-1883 Appears in 106 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sing with all the saints in glory,
Sing the resurrection song!
Death and sorrow, earth’s dark story,
To the former days belong.
All around the clouds are breaking,
Soon the storms of time shall cease;
In God’s likeness, we awaken,
Knowing everlasting peace.
2 O what glory, far exceeding
All that eye has yet perceived!
Holiest hearts for ages pleading,
Never that full joy conceived.
God has promised, Christ prepares it,
There on high our welcome waits;
Ev’ry humble spirit shares it,
Christ has passed th'eternal gates.
3 Life eternal! heav’n rejoices:
Jesus lives who once was dead;
Shout with joy, O deathless voices!
Child of God, lift up your head!
Patriarchs from distant ages,
Saints all longing for their heaven,
Prophets, psalmists, seers, and sages,
All await the glory giv'n.
4 Life eternal! O what wonders
Crowd on faith; what joy unknown,
When, amid earth's closing thunders,
Saints shall stand before the throne!
O to enter that bright portal,
See that glowing firmament,
Know, with you, O God immortal,
Jesus Christ whom you have sent!
