4 And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on,
and when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on;
and when from death I’m free, I’ll sing and joyful be,
and through eternity I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on;
And through eternity I’ll sing on. Used With Tune: WONDROUS LOVE Text Sources: American folk hymn, ca. 1811

beside the Syrian sea,
the gracious calling of the Lord,

O calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity,
interpreted by love!

till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace,
the beauty of thy peace.

thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind and fire,
O still small voice of calm!
O still small voice of calm! Scripture: 1 Kings 19:9-18 Used With Tune: REPTON

of our salvation came:
the joyful news of sins forgiven,
of hell subdued, and peace with heaven.

no sacrifice beside;
the power of your atoning blood
has won acceptance with my God.

my Conqueror and my King:
your sceptre and your sword,
your reigning grace I sing:
yours is the power — and so I sit
in willing service at your feet.

and tread the tempter down:
my Captain leads me on
to conquest and a crown;
the child of God shall win the day,
though death and hell obstruct the way. Used With Tune: CROFT'S 136th

round thy throne of light,
angel-harps for ever ringing,
rest not day nor night;
thousands only live to bless thee,
and confess thee Lord of might.
2 Thou who art beyond the farthest
mortal eye can see,
can it be that thou regardest
our poor hymnody?
Yes, we know that thou art near us,
and wilt hear us constantly.
3 Yea, we know that thou rejoicest
o'er each work of thine;
thou didst ears and hands and voices
for thy praise design;
craftsman's art and music's measure
for thy pleasure all combine.
4 In thy house, great God, we offer
of thine own to thee;
and for thine acceptance proffer
all unworthily,
hearts and minds and hands and voices
in our choicest psalmody.
5 Honour, glory, might and merit
thine shall ever be,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
blessèd Trinity.
Of the best that thou hast given
earth and heaven render thee.

the tyrannies of sin.

and purity and love?
When shall all hatred cease,
as in the realms above?
3 When comes the promised time
that war shall be no more,
and lust, oppression, crime
shall flee thy face before?
4 We pray thee, Lord, arise,
and come in thy great might;
revive our longing eyes,
which languish for thy sight.
5 Some scorn thy sacred name,
and wolves devour thy fold;
by many deeds of shame
we learn that love grows cold.
6 O'er lands both near and far
thick darkness broodeth yet:
arise, O morning star,
arise, and never set. Scripture: Acts 20:29 Used With Tune: ST CECILIA

a bulwark never failing;
our helper sure amid the flood
of mortal ills prevailing:
for still our ancient foe
doth seek to work us woe;
power and malice great,
and armed with cruel hate,
on earth he has no equal.
2 Did we in our strength confide,
our striving would be losing,
were not the right man on our side,
the man of God's own choosing:
dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabaoth his name,
from age to age the same,
and he must win the battle.
3 And though this world, with devils filled,
should threaten to undo us,
we will not fear, for God hath willed
the truth to triumph through us:
the prince of darkness grim,
we tremble not for him;
his rage we can endure,
for lo! his doom is sure,
one little word shall fell him.
4 That word above all earthly powers,
no thanks to them, abideth;
the Spirit and the gifts are ours
through Christ, who with us sideth:
let goods and kindred go,
this mortal life also;
the body they may kill:
God's truth abideth still,
God's kingdom is forever. Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG
