For all the Saints, who from their labours rest

Author: W. W. How Hymnal: CHRC1920 #171 (1920) Lyrics: 1 For all the Saints, who from their labours rest, Who Thee by faith before the world confessed, Thy Name, O Jesu, be for ever bless'd, Alleluia, Alleluia. 2 Thou wast their Rock, their Fortress, and their Might: Thou, Lord, their Captain in the well-fought fight; Thou, in the darkness drear, the one true Light. Alleluia. 3 O may Thy soldiers, faithful, true, and bold, Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old, And win, with them, the victor's crown of gold. Alleluia. 4 O blest communion, felowship divine! We feebly struggle, they in glory shine; Yet all are one in Thee, for all are Thine. Alleluia. 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. Alleluia. 6 The golden evening brightens in the west; Soon, soon to faithful warriors cometh rest; Sweet is the calm of Paradise the blest; Alleluia. 6 But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day; The saints triumphant rise in bright array; The King of Glory passes on His way. Alleluia. 8 From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast, Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host, Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Alleluia.

Who are these in bright array

Author: J. Montgomery Hymnal: CHRC1920 #172 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Who are these in bright array, This innumerable throng, Round the altar, night and day, Tuning their triumphant song? "Worthy is the Lamb, once slain, Blessing, honour, glory, power, Wisdom, riches to obtain, New dominion every hour." 2 These through fiery trials trod; These from great affliction came; Now before the throne of God, Sealed with His eternal Name; Clad in raiment pure and white, Victor palms in every hand, Through their great Redeemer's might, More than conquerors they stand. 3 Hunger, thirst, disease unknown, On immortal fruits they feed; Them the Lamb amidst the throne, Shall to living fountains lead: Joy and gladness banish sighs; Perfect love dispels their fears; And for ever from their eyes God shall wipe away their tears.

Who are these like stars appearing

Author: F. E. Cox; H. T. Schenck Hymnal: CHRC1920 #173 (1920) Lyrics: 1 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 heav'nly King. 2 Who are these of dazzling brightness, These in God's own truth arrayed, Clad in robes of purest whiteness, Robes whose lustre ne'er shall fade, Ne'er touched by time's rude hand? Whence comes all this glorious band? 3 These are they who have contended For their Saviour'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. 4 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. 5 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. Topics: Holy Days All Saints Languages: English Tune Title: ALL SAINTS

Hark! the sound of holy voices

Author: C. Wordsworth Hymnal: CHRC1920 #174 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Hark! the sound of holy voices, Chanting at the crystal sea, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Lord, to Thee: Multitude which none can number, Like the stars in glory stands, Clothed in white apparel, holding Palms of vict'ry in their hands 2 Patriarch, and holy prophet, Who prepared the way for Christ, King, apostle, saint, confessor, Martyr and evangelist; Saintly maiden, godly matron, Widows who have watched to prayer, Joined in holy concert, singing To the Lord of all, are there. 3 Marching with Thy Cross, their banner, They have triumphed, following Thee, the Captain of salvation, Thee, their Saviour and their King. Gladly, Lord, with Thee they suffer'd; Gladly, Lord, with Thee they died; And by death to life immortal They were born and glorified. 4 Now they reign in heavenly glory, Now they walk in golden light, Now they drink, as from a river, Holy bliss and infinite: Love and peace they taste for ever, And all truth and knowledge see In the beatific vision Of the blessed Trinity.

From all Thy Saints in warfare

Let saints on earth in concert sing

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: CHRC1920 #176 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Let saints on earth in concert sing With those whose work is done; For all the servants of our King In heav'n and earth are one. 2 One family, we dwell in Him, One Church, above, beneath; Though now divided by the stream, The narrow stream of death. 3 One army of the living God, To His command we bow; Part of the host have crossed the flood, And part are crossing now. 4 E'en now to their eternal home There pass some spirits blest; While others to the margin come, Waiting their call to rest. 5 Jesus, be Thou our constant Guide; Then, when the word is given, Bid Jordan's narrow stream divide, And bring us safe to heaven.

Lo! what a cloud of witnesses

Hymnal: CHRC1920 #177 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Lo! what a cloud of witnesses Encompass us around! Men once like us with suff'ring tried, But now with glory crown'd. 2 Let us, with zeal like theirs inspired, Strive in the Christian race; And, freed from every weight of sin, Their holy footsteps trace. 3 Behold a Witness nobler still, Who trod affliction's path; Jesus, the author, finisher, Rewarder of our faith. 4 He, for the joy before Him set, And moved by pitying love, Endured the Cross, despised the shame, And now He reigns above. 5 Thither, forgetting things behind, Press we go God's right hand; There, with the Saviour and His saints, Triumphantly to stand.

Lord, pour Thy Spirit from on high

Author: J. Montgomery Hymnal: CHRC1920 #178 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Lord, pour Thy Spirit from on high, And Thine ordained servants bless; Graces and gifts to each supply, And clothed Thy priests with righteousness. 2 Within Thy temple when they stand, To teach the truth as taught by Thee, Saviour, like stars in Thy right hand, Let all Thy Church's pastors be. 3 Wisdom, and zeal, and faith impart, Firmness and meekness from above, To bear Thy people in their heart, And love the souls whom Thou dost love; 4 To watch, and pray, and never faint, By day and night strict guard to keep. To warn the sinner, cheer the saint, To feed Thy lambs, and fold Thy sheep. 5 So, when their work is finished here, They may in hope their charge resign; So, when their Master shall appear, They may with crowns of glory shine.

God of the prophets! Bless the prophets' sons

Author: D. Wortman Hymnal: CHRC1920 #180 (1920) Lyrics: 1 God of the prophets! Bless the prophets' sons: Elijah's mantle o'er Elisha cast; Each age its solemn task may claim but once: Make each one nobler, stronger than the last! 2 Anoint them prophets! Make their ears attent To Thy divinest speech; their hearts awake To human need; their lips make eloquent To assure the right, and every evil break. 3 Anoint them priests! Strong intercessors they For pardon, and for charity and peace! Ah, if with them the world might pass, astray, Into the dear Christ's life of sacrifice! 4 Anoint them kings! Aye, kingly kings, O Lord! Anoint them with the Spirit of Thy Son: Theirs not a jeweled crown, a blood-stained sword; Theirs, by sweet love, for Christ a kingdom won. 5 Make them apostles! Heralds of Thy cross, Forth may they go to tell all realms Thy grace: Inspired of Thee, may they count all but loss, And stay at last with joy before Thy face. 6 O mighty age of prophet-kings, return! O truth, O faith, enrich our urgent time! Lord Jesus Christ, again with us sojourn: A weary world awaits Thy reign sublime! Topics: Holy Days Ember Days Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 124TH
