Blessed Feasts of Blessed Martyrs
Author: John M. Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 28 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blessed feasts of blessed martyrs,
Holy women, holy men,
With our love and admiration,
Greet we your return again.
Worthy deeds are theirs, and wonders,
Worthy of the name they bore;
We, with joyful praise and singing,
Honor them for evermore.
2 Faith prevailing, hope unfailing,
Loving Christ with single heart,
Thus they, glorious and victorious
Bravely bore the martyr's part
By contempt of every anguish,
By unyielding battle done;
Victors at the last, they triumph
With the host of angels one.
3 Therefore, all that reign in glory,
Strong and sure with Christ on high,
Join to ours your supplication
When before him we draw nigh,
Praying that, this life completed,
All its fleeting moments past,
By his grace we may be worthy
Of eternal bliss at last. Topics: Saints and Angels Used With Tune: HYMN TO JOY Text Sources: Latin, 12th C.

God Has Spoken by His Prophets
Author: George W. Briggs Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 53 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God hath spoken by the prophets,
spoken the unchanging Word,
each from age to age proclaiming
God the one, the righteous Lord.
In the world's despair and turmoil
one firm anchor holds us fast:
God is king, his throne eternal,
God the first, and God the last.
2 God hath spoken by Christ Jesus,
Christ, the everlasting Son,
brightness of the Father's glory,
with the Father ever one;
spoken by the Word incarnate,
God of God, ere time was born;
Light of Light, to earth descending,
Christ, as God in human form.
3 God is speaking by his Spirit,
speaking to our hearts again;
in the agelong Word expounding
God's own message, now as then.
Through the rise and fall of nations
one sure faith yet standing fast:
God abides, his Word unchanging,
God the first, and God the last. Topics: Jesus Christ God Incarnate; Descants; Holy Spirit Illuminator; Jesus Christ God Incarnate; Jesus Christ Incarnation; Jesus Christ Light; Proclamation; Holy Scriptures; Trinity Scripture: Psalm 119:89 Used With Tune: ODE TO JOY

Hear What God the Lord Hath Spoken
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 200 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Hear what God the Lord hath spoken,
“O my people, faint and few,
Comfortless, afflicted, broken,
Fair abodes I build for you:
Themes of heartfelt tribulation
Shall no more perplex your ways;
You shall name your walls, Salvation,
And your gates shall all be praise.
2. “There, like streams that feed the garden,
Pleasures, without end, shall flow,
For the Lord, your faith rewarding,
All His bounty shall bestow;
Still in undisturbed possession
Peace and righteousness shall reign;
Never shall you feel oppression,
Hear the voice of war again.
3. "Ye no more your suns descending,
Waning moons no more shall see;
But your griefs forever ending,
Find eternal noon in Me:
God shall rise, and shining o’er you,
Change to day the gloom of night;
He, the Lord, shall be your glory,
God your everlasting light."

Let the World Their Virtue Boast
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.8.7.6 Appears in 80 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Let the world their virtue boast,
Their works of righteousness,
I, a wretch undone and lost,
Am freely saved by grace;
Other title I disclaim;
This, only this, is all my plea:
I the chief of sinners am,
But Jesus died for me.
2. I, like Gideon’s fleece, am found
Unwatered still, and dry,
While the dew on all around,
Falls plenteous from the sky;
Yet my Lord I cannot blame,
The Savior’s grace for all is free:
I the chief of sinners am,
But Jesus died for me.
3. Surely He will lift me up,
For I of Him have need;
I cannot give up my hope,
Though I am cold and dead;
To bring fire on earth He came;
O that it now might kindled be!
I the chief of sinners am,
But Jesus died for me.
4. Jesus, Thou for me hast died,
And Thou in me wilt live;
I shall feel Thy death applied,
I shall Thy life receive;
Yet, when melted in the flame
Of love, this shall be all my plea:
I the chief of sinners am,
But Jesus died for me. Used With Tune: SHERBOURNE Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1742

God, We Join in Celebration
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: God, we join in celebration of your love and faithfulness Lyrics: God, we join in celebration of your love and faithfulness:
Long ago, our congregation gathered in the wilderness.
Long ago, your people worshiped, shared the gospel, served you well,
Celebrated grace and friendship, then went out, your love to tell.
What a faith-filled, rich tradition we are blest, O Christ, to know.
Guided by your Great Commission, many helped our church to grow.
Called by you to love their neighbors, thousands served you here with grace.
Thank you for their loving labors that have brought us to this place.
Grateful for the past you’ve given, now we look in hope to you.
Make us salt, and light, and leaven, working for a world that’s new.
By your Spirit, lead and guide us as your loving family,
Teach us, shape us, walk beside us! Send us out in ministry!
