How shall I sing that majesty

Author: John Mason (c. 1645-1694) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 42 hymnals Topics: Other Saints and Festivals Michael and all Angels Lyrics: 1 How shall I sing that majesty which angels do admire? Let dust in dust and silence lie; sing, sing, ye heavenly choir. Thousands of thousands stand around thy throne, O God most high; ten thousand times ten thousand sound thy praise; but who am I? 2 Thy brightness unto them appears, whilst I thy footsteps trace; a sound of God comes to my ears, but they behold thy face. They sing, because thou art their Sun; Lord, send a beam on me; for where heaven is but once begun there alleluias be. 3 Enlighten with faith's light my heart, inflame it with love's fire; then shall I sing and bear a part with that celestial choir. I shall, I fear, be dark and cold, with all my fire and light; yet when thou dost accept their gold, Lord, treasure up my mite. 4 How great a being, Lord, is thine, which doth all beings keep! Thy knowledge is the only line to sound so vast a deep. Thou art a sea without a shore, a sun without a sphere; thy time is now and evermore, thy place is everywhere. Scripture: Job 26:14 Used With Tune: COE FEN

Now Sing we a Song for the Harvest

Appears in 41 hymnals Topics: Church Festivals Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 Now sing we a song for the harvest, Thanksgiving and honor and praise, For all that the bountiful Giver Hath given to gladden our days: 2 For grasses of upland and lowland, For fruits of the garden and field, For gold which the mine and the prairie To delver and husband-man yield. 3 And thanks for the harvest of beauty, For that which the hands cannot hold, The harvest eyes only can gather, And only our hearts can enfold: 4 We reap it on mountain and moorland, We glean it from meadow and lea, We garner it in from the cloud-land, We bind it in sheaves from the sea. 5 But now we sing deeper and higher, Of harvests that eye cannot see; They ripen on mountains of duty Are reaped by the brave and the free. 6 O Thou who art Lord of the harvest, The Giver who gladdens our days, Our hearts are forever repeating Thanksgiving and honor, and praise.

Let the round world with songs rejoice

Author: Richard Mant, 1776-1848 Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holidays: General Lyrics: 1 Let the round world with songs rejoice, Let heaven return the joyful voice, All mindful of the Apostles’ fame, Let heaven and earth their praise proclaim. 2 Ye servants who once bore the light Of gospel truth o’er heathen night, Still may your work that light impart, To glad our eyes and cheer our heart. 3 O God, by whom to them was given The key that shuts and opens heaven, Our chains unbind, our loss repair, And grant us grace to enter there. 4 For at thy will they preached the word Which cured disease, which health conferred; O may thy healing power once more Our souls to grace and health restore. 5 That when as judge thy Son shall come To bring his ransomed people home, He may with them pronounce us blest, And place us in thine endless rest. 6 To God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit, Three in One, Be honour, praise and majesty, Now and throughout eternity. Amen. Used With Tune: EXULTET CAELUM LAUDIBUS Text Sources: Latin, c. 10th century

Our Father, by whose servants

Author: George Wallace Briggs, 1875-1959 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Dedication Festival Lyrics: 1 Our Father, by whose servants our house was built of old, whose hand hath crowned her children with blessing manifold, for thine unfailing mercies far strewn along our way, with all who passed before us, we praise thy name today. 2 The changeful years unresting their silent course have sped, new comrades ever bringing in comrades’ steps to tread; and some are long forgotten, long spent their hopes and fears; safe rest they in thy keeping, who changest not with years. 3 They reap not where they laboured; we reap what they have sown; our harvest may be garnered by ages yet unknown. The days of old have dowered us with gifts beyond all praise; our Father, make us faithful to serve the coming days. Used With Tune: WOLVERCOTE

All Hail, Our Church's Elder Dear

Author: James Montgomery Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Festival: Jesus Christ as Chief Elder; Moravian festivals--November 13 Lyrics: 1 All hail, our church's Elder dear, O Jesus, glorious head! To your disciples now appear as risen from the dead. Let our rejoicing souls in you the tokens of your passion view, and hear your gentle voice anew, say "Peace be unto you." 2 Remembering what our fathers told, you did in their young day, this solemn jubilee we hold, May we, as then did they, ourselves in covenant now bind with soul and strength, with heart and mind, through life, in death, on land, o'er sea, to you disciples be. 3 Revive your work; amid the years our members still employ on needy souls to sow in tears, with hope to reap in joy. Though wide the fields, the lab'rers few, if you our failing faith renew, though weak, we as your servants, Lord, May still fulfill your word. 4 O Lord, in whom we all are one, if faithful found and true, your will on earth by each be done as each in heav'n would do. To you ourselves we first would give; live to your glory while we live, from step to step on you rely, then in your service die. Scripture: John 20:26 Used With Tune: WORSHIP
