Shepherd of souls, refresh and bless

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: EH1982 #343 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Shepherd of souls, refresh and bless thy chosen pilgrim flock with manna in the wilderness, with water from the rock. 2 We would not live by bread alone, but by thy word of grace, in strength of which we travel on to our abiding-place. 3 Be known to us in breaking bread, and do not then depart; Saviour, abide with us, and spread thy table in our heart. 4 Lord, sup with us in love divine, thy Body and thy Blood, that living bread, that heavenly wine, be our immortal food.

Savior, again to thy dear Name we raise

Songs of praise the angels sang

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: EH1982 #426 (1985) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Songs of praise the angels sang, heaven with hallelujahs rang, when creation was begun, when God spoke and it was done. 2 Songs of praise awoke the morn when the Prince of Peace was born: songs of praise arose when he captive led captivity. 3 Heaven and earth must pass away, songs of praise shall crown that day; God will make new heavens and earth; songs of praise shall hail their birth. 4 And shall Christians fail to sing till on earth Christ come as King? No; the Church delights to raise psalms and hymns and songs of praise. 5 Saints below, with heart and voice, still in songs of praise rejoice, learning here, by faith and love, songs of praise to sing above. 6 Borne upon their latest breath, songs of praise shall conquer death; then, amidst eternal joy, songs of praise their powers employ.

Let his glory be thy theme: praise him till he calls thee home; trust his love for all to come. Topics: Jesus Christ our Lord Languages: English Tune Title: ST. BEES

Sing, ye faithful, sing with gladness

Author: John Ellerton, 1826-1893 Hymnal: EH1982 #492 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Sing, ye faithful, sing with gladness, wake your noblest, sweetest strain, with the praises of your Savior let his house resound again; him let all your music honor, and your songs exalt his reign. 2 Sing how he come forth from heaven, bowed himself to Bethlehem's cave, stooped to wear the servant's vesture, bore the pain, the cross, the grave, passed within the gates of darkness, thence his banished ones to save. 3 So, he tasted death for mortals, he, of humankind the head, sinless one, among the sinful, Prince of life, among the dead; thus he wrought the full redemption, and the captor captive led. 4 Now on high, yet ever with us, from his Father's throne the Son rules and guides the world he ransomed, till the appointed work be done, till he see, renewed and perfect, all things gathered into one.

Clear before us through the darkness gleams and burns the guiding light: trusting God we march together stepping fearless through the night. 2 One the light of God's own presence, o'er his ransomed people shed, chasing far the gloom and terror, brightening all the path we tread: one the object of our journey, one the faith which never tires, one the earnest looking forward, one the hope our God inspires. 3 One the strain the lips of thousands lift as from the heart of one; one the conflict, one the peril, one the march in God begun: one the gladness of rejoicing on the far eternal shore, where the one almighty Father reigns in love for evermore.
