From All Thy Saints in Warfare

Author: Horatio Nelson Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #48 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Scripture: Acts 7:55-60 Lyrics: 1 From all Thy saints in warfare, For all Thy saints at rest, To Thee, O blessed Jesus, All praises be addressed; Thou, Lord, didst win the battle, That they might conqu'rors be; Their crowns of living glory Are lit with rays from Thee. 2 Praise for the first of martyrs, Who saw Thee ready stand To aid in midst of torments, To plead at God's right hand. Share we with him, if summoned By death our Lord to own, On earth the faithful witness, In heav'n the martyr crown. 3 Apostles, prophets, martyrs, And all the sacred throng, Who wear the spotless raiment, Who raise the ceaseless song, For these, passed on before us, Saviour, we Thee adore, And, walking in their footsteps, Would serve Thee more and more. 4 Then praise we God the Father, And praise we God the Son, And God the Holy Spirit, Eternal Three in One; Till all the ransomed number Fall down before the throne, And honor, power, and glory Ascribe to God alone.

My perfect, spotless righteousness, the great unchangeable I AM, the King of glory and of grace! 6 One with himself, I cannot die: my soul is purchased by his blood; my life is hid with Christ on high, with Christ, my Saviour and my God.

Resurrection sure

Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: Laudes Domini #575 (1888) Scripture: Acts 7:59 First Line: When downward to the darksome tomb Lyrics: 1 When downward to the darksome tomb I thoughtful turn my eyes, Frail nature trembles at the gloom And anxious fears arise. 2 Why shrinks my soul?--in death's embrace Once Jesus captive slept: And angels, hovering o'er the place, His lowly pillow kept. 3 Thus shall they guard my sleeping dust, And, as the Saviour rose, The grave again shall yield her trust, And end my deep repose. 4 My Lord, before to glory gone, Shall bid me come away; And calm and bright shall break the dawn Of heaven's eternal day. 5 Then let my faith each fear dispel, And gild with light the grave; To him my loftiest praises swell, Who died, from death to save.
