The Son of God goes forth to war

Author: Bishop Reginald Heber Hymnal: The Hymnal #271a (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: All Saints' Day Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain; His blood-red banner streams afar: Who follows in His train? Who best can drink his cup of woe, Triumphant over pain, Who patient bears his cross below, He follows in His train. 2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave, Who saw his Master in the sky, And called on Him to save: Like Him, with pardon on his tongue In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong: Who follows in His train? 3 A glorious band, the chosen few On whom the Spirit came, Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, And mocked the cross and flame: They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane; They bowed their necks the death to feel: Who follows in their train? 4 A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Saviour's throne rejoice, In robes of light arrayed: They climbed the steep ascent of heaven Through peril, toil, and pain: O God, to us may grace be given To follow in their train!

Who are these like stars appearing

Author: Heinrich T. Schenk; Frances E. Cox Hymnal: The Hymnal #296 (1916) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Holy Days All Saints Lyrics: Who are these like stars appearing, These, before God's throne who stand? Each a golden crown is wearing; Who are all this glorious band? Alleluia! hark, they sing, Praising loud their heavenly King. Who are these of dazzling brightness, These in God's own truth arrayed, Clad in robes of purest whiteness, Robes whose luster ne'er shall fade, Ne'er be touched by time's rude hand? Whence comes all this glorious band? 272 These are they who have contended For their Savior's honour long, Wrestling on till life was ended, Following not the sinful throng: These, who well the fight sustained, Triumph by the Lamb have gained. These are they whose hearts were riven, Sore with woe and anguish tried, Who in prayer full oft have striven With the God they glorified: Now, their painful conflict o'er, God has bid them weep no more. These, like priests, have watched and waited, Offering up to Christ their will, Soul and body consecrated, Day and night they serve him still. Now in God's most holy place, Blest they stand before his face. Languages: English Tune Title: ALL SAINTS

Let saints on earth in concert sing

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Hymnal #299 (1916) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Holy Days All Saints Lyrics: Let saints on earth in concert sing With those whose work is done; For all the servants of our King In heaven and earth are one. One family, we dwell in him, One Church, above, beneath; Though now divided by the stream, The narrow stream of death. One army of the living God, To his command we bow; Part of the host have crossed the flood, And part are crossing now. E'en now to their eternal home There pass some spirits blest; While others to the margin come, Waiting their call to rest. 275 Jesus, be thou our constant Guide Then, when the word is given, Bid Jordan's narrow stream divide, And bring us safe to heaven. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FLAVIAN

Your hand, O God, has guided

Author: Edward Hayes Plumptre, 1821-91 Hymnal: Together in Song #456 (1999) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: All Saints and All Souls Lyrics: 1 Your hand, O God, has guided your flock from age to age; the wondrous tale is written full clear, on every page. your people owed your goodness, and we their deeds accord; and both of this bear witness: one church, one faith, one Lord. 2 Your heralds brought glad tidings to greatest, as to least; they bade them rise, and hasten to share the great king's feast; and this was all their teaching, in every deed and word, to all alike proclaiming one church, one faith, one Lord. 3 Through many a day of darkness, through many a scene of strife, the faithful few fought bravely to guard the nation's life. Their gospel of redemption, sin pardoned, earth restored, was all in this enfolded: one church, one faith, one Lord. 4 Your mercy will not fail us, nor leave your work undone; with your right hand to help us the victory shall be won; and then by all creation your name shall be adored, and this shall be our anthem: one church, one faith, one Lord.

While the Patriarchs in chorus Join to swell the angels' song. 6 Near to Christ, the Twelve apostles, Chosen as foundation stones, Now behold the city's splendour, Seated on celestial thrones. 7 There the martyrs, robed in crimson, Sign of lifeblood freely spent, Now enjoy the life eternal In the Saviour's love content. 8 Virgins, to the Lamb devoted, Following in steadfast love, Bring the bridal garlands with them To the marriage feast above 9 There, confessors are rewarded, And each holy humble soul, Who on earth left no memorial, Now make up the saintly whole. 10 All the blest adore for ever God's surpassing majesty. Threefold anthems ever raising To the all Holy Trinity. 11 In your heav'nly habitation, That eternal home on high Hear, ye saints our prayer and pleading As to God we lift our cry. 12 By your heav'nly intercession Help your fellow Christians here, That in love of Christ our Saviour We through grace may persevere. 13 So may God our Father grant us Here to serve in holiness, And at length by his good mercy Share that heav'n which ye possess.

For Christ and his kingdom, And for his holy name. 3 New tasks today are ours Who serve a world in pain, New calls to challenge all our pow'rs Of heart and hand and brain, For Christ and his kingdom, While life and breath remain. For Christ and his kingdom, While life and breath remain. 4 Give thanks to God on high For all the future sends, In praise of Christ to live and die Who calls his servants friends, For Christ and his kingdom, Whose glory never ends. For Christ and his kingdom, Whose glory never ends. Languages: English Tune Title: BALDWIN
