Sing with All the Saints in Glory

Author: William J. Irons, 1812-83 Hymnal: Hymnal Supplement 98 #839 (1998) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Lesser Festivals All Saints' Day; Saints' Days Lyrics: 1 Sing with all the saints in glory, Sing the resurrection song! Death and sorrow, earth’s dark story, To the former days belong. All around the clouds are breaking, Soon the storms of time shall cease; In God’s likeness we awaken, Knowing everlasting peace. 2 Oh, what glory, far exceeding All that eye has yet perceived! Holiest hearts for ages pleading Never that full joy conceived. God has promised, Christ prepares it, There on high our welcome waits. Ev’ry humble spirit shares it, Christ has passed the eternal gates. 3 Life eternal! Heav’n rejoices: Jesus lives who once was dead. Shout with joy, O deathless voices! Child of God, lift up your head! Life eternal! Oh, what wonders Crowd on faith; what joy unknown, When, amid earth’s closing thunders, Saints shall stand before the throne!

Praise for national peace

Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DXXXI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Times and Seasons Days of Thanksgiving; Thanksgiving days First Line: Great ruler of the earth and skies Lyrics: 1 Great ruler of the earth and skies, A word of thine almighty breath Can sink the world, or bid it rise: Thy smile is life, thy frown is death. 2 When angry nations rush to arms, And rage, and noise, and tumult reign, And war resounds its dire alarms, And slaughter dyes the hostile plains; 3 Thy sovereign eye looks calmly down, And marks their course, and bounds their pow'r; Thy word the angry nations own, And noise and war are heard no more. 4 Then peace returns with balmy wing, (Sweet peace! with her what blessings fled!) Glad plenty laughs, the vallies sing, Reviving commerce lifts her head. 5 Thou good, and wise, and righteous Lord, All move subservent to thy will; And peace and war await thy word, And thy sublime decrees fulfil. 6 To thee we pay our grateful songs, Thy kind protection still implore? O may our hearts, and lives, and tongues, Confess thy goodness and adore. Scripture: Psalm 46:9 Languages: English

For the 5th of November

Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DXXXIV (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Times and Seasons Days of Thanksgiving; Thanksgiving days First Line: To thee, almighty God, we bring Lyrics: 1 To thee, almighty God, we bring The humble tribute of our songs; O teach our thankful hearts to sing, Or praise will languish on their tongues. 2 While Britain (favor'd of the skies) Recalls the wonders God hath wrought; Let grateful joy adoring rise, And warm to rapture every thought. 3 When hell and Rome combin'd their power, And doom'd these isles their certain prey; Thy hand forbade the fatal hour, Their impious plots in ruin lay. 4 Again our restless cruel foes Resum'd, avow'd their black design; Again to save us God arose, And Britain own'd the hand divine. 5 Why, gracious God, is Britain sav'd? Why bless'd with liberty and light? Nor by fell tyranny enslav'd, Nor lost in superstition's night? 6 Not for our sake, we conscious own; A wretched, vile, ungrateful race: 'Tis done to make thy glory known; To show the wonders of thy grace. 7 The wonders of thy grace complete; Reform this wretched guilty land! Let thankful love, beneath thy feet, Confess thy kind, thy guardian hand! 8 Let every age adore thy name, While nature's circling wheels shall roll! Thy mercies every tongue proclaim, And sound thy praise from pole to pole. Languages: English

Thanksgiving for victory over our enemies

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DXXIX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Times and Seasons Days of Thanksgiving; Thanksgiving days First Line: To thee, who reign'st supreme above Lyrics: 1 To thee, who reign'st supreme above, And reign's supreme below, Thou God of wisdom, power, and love, We our successes owe. 2 The thundering horse, the martial band, Without thine aid were vain; And victory flies at thy command To crown the bright campaign. 3 Thy mighty arm, unseen, was nigh, When we our foes assail'd; 'Tis thou hast rais'd our honors high, And o'er their hosts prevail'd. 4 Their mounds, their camps, their lofty towers Into our hands are given, Not from desert or strength of ours, But thro' the grace of heaven. 5 What tho' no columns lifted high Stand deep inscrib'd with praise, Yet sounding honors to the sky Our grateful tongues shall raise. 6 To our young race will we proclaim The mercies God has shown; That they may learn to bless his name, And choose him for their own. 7 Thus while we sleep in silent dust, When threatening dangers come, Their father's God shall be their trust, Their refuge and their home.

His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, and dark is his path on the wings of the storm. 3 Your bountiful care, what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light; it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, in you do we trust, nor find you to fail. Your mercies, how tender, how firm to the end, our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend! 5 O measureless Might, unchangeable Love, whom angels delight to worship above! Your ransomed creation, with glory ablaze, in true adoration shall sing to your praise! Scripture: Psalm 104 Languages: English Tune Title: LYONS
