Come, ye faithful, raise an anthem
Author: Rev. Job Hupton, 1762-1849; Rev. John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Appears in 81 hymnals Topics: Processional Lyrics: 1 Come, ye faithful, raise the anthem;
Cleave the skies with shouts of praise;
Sing to Him who brought salvation,
Wondrous in His works and ways;
God eternal! Word incarnate,
Whom the heaven of heaven obeys.
2 Ere He raised the lofty mountains,
Formed the seas, or built the sky,
Love eternal, free, and boundless,
Moved the Lord of Life to die;
Foreordained the Prince of Princes
For the throne of Calvary.
3 Now above the sapphire pavement,
High in unapporachéd light,
Lo! He lives and reigns for ever,
Victor after hard-won fight,
Where the song of the redeeméd
Rings unceasing day and night.
4 Trust Him then, ye fainting pilgrims;
Who shall pluck you from His hand?
Pledged He stands for your salvation,
Pledged to give the promised land,
Where among the ransomed nations
Ye too round His throne shall stand. Used With Tune: NEANDER

casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,
God ever-living, through eternity.
3 Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide thee,
though the sinful human eye thy glory may not see;
only thou art holy; there is none beside thee,
perfect in power, in love, and purity.

All thy works shall praise thy Name, in earth and sky and sea;

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Frederick H. Hedge, 1805-1890 Meter: 7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 684 hymnals Topics: Processionals Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing;
Our helper He amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing:
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great,
And, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
2 Did we in our own 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
His 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 Him who with us sideth:
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill:
God's truth abideth still;
His kingdom is forever.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG

Sing with All the Sons of Glory
Author: William J. Irons, 1812-1883 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 109 hymnals Topics: Processionals 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, man awaking,
Knows the everlasting peace.
2 O 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;
Every humble spirit shares it,
Christ has passed th'eternal gates.
3 Life eternal! heaven rejoices:
Jesus lives who once was dead;
Join, O man, the deathless voices;
Child of God, lift up thy head!
Patriarchs from the distant ages,
Saints all longing for their heaven,
Prophets, psalmists, seers, and sages,
All await the glory given.
4 Life eternal! O what wonders
Crowd on faith; what joy unknown,
When amid earth's closing thunders,
Saints shall stand before the throne!
O to enter that bright portal,
See that glowing firmament,
Know, with Thee, O God immortal,
"Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent!"
Amen. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:20 Used With Tune: HYMN TO JOY

fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,

and hearts are brave again, and arms are strong.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
6 The golden evening brightens in the west;
soon, soon to faithful warriors cometh rest;
sweet is the calm of paradise the blest.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
7 But, lo, there breaks a yet more glorious day;
the saints triumphant rise in bright array:
the King of glory passes on his way.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!

through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,
singing to Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
Hallelujah, hallelujah!

Crown Him with many crowns
Author: Matthew Bridges Appears in 813 hymnals Topics: Processional Lyrics: 1 Crown Him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon His throne;
Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns
All music but its own:
Awake, my soul, and sing
Of Him Who died for thee,
And hail Him as thy matchless King
Thro' all eternity.
2 Crown Him the Son of God
Before the worlds began,
And ye, who tread where he hath trod,
Crown Him the Son of Man;
Who every grief hath known
That wrings the human breast,
And takes and bears them for His own,
That all in Him may rest.
3 Crown Him the Lord of Life,
Who triumphed o'er the grave,
And rose victorious in the strife
For those He came to save;
His glories now we sing
Who died, and rose on high,
Who died, eternal life to bring,
And lives that death may die.
4 Crown Him of lords the Lord,
Who over all doth reign,
Who once on earth, the Incarnate Word,
For ransomed sinners slain,
Now lives in realms of light,
Where saints and angels sing
Their songs before Him day and night,
Their God, Redeemer, King.
5 Crown Him the Lord of heaven,
Enthroned in worlds above;
Crown Him the King, to whom is given,
The wondrous name of Love.
Crown Him with many crowns,
As thrones before Him fall,
Crown Him, ye kings, with many crowns,
For He is King of all.
Amen.
