Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: Holy, holy, holy Lord Lyrics: 1. Holy, holy, holy Lord, God the Father, and the Word, God the Comforter, receive Blessings more than we can give! Mixed with those beyond the sky, Chanters to the Lord Most High, We our hearts and voices raise, Echoing Thy eternal praise. 2. One, inexplicably Three, Three, in simplest Unity, God, incline Thy gracious ear, Us, Thy lisping creatures, hear! Thee while man, the earth-born, sings, Angels shrink within their wings; Prostrate seraphim above Breathe unutterable love. 3. Happy they who never rest, With Thy heavenly presence blest! They the heights of glory see, Sound the depths of Deity. Fain with them our souls would vie, Sink as low, and mount as high; Fall o’erwhelmed with love, or soar, Shout, or silently adore.

While with ceaseless course the sun

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 589 hymnals Lyrics: 1 While with ceaseless course the sun Hasted through the former year, Many souls their race have run, Never more to meet us here: Fixed in an eternal state, They have done with all below; We a little longer wait, But how little none can know. 2 As the winged arrow flies Speedily the mark to find, As the lightning from the skies Darts, and leaves no trace behind, Swiftly thus our fleeting days Bear us down life's rapid stream; Upward, Lord, our spirits raise, All below is but a dream. 3 Thanks for mercies past receive; Pardon of our sins renew; Teach us henceforth how to live With eternity in view; Bless thy Word to young and old; Fill us with a Saviour's love; And when life's short tale is told, May we dwell with thee above. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 90:12 Used With Tune: BENEVENTO

All Whose Boast It Is

Author: James Russell Lowell, 1819-1891 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 61 hymnals First Line: All whose boast it is that we Lyrics: 1 All whose boast it is that we come of forebears brave and free, if there breathe on earth a slave, are we truly free and brave? If we do not feel the chain when it works another’s pain, are we not base slaves indeed, slaves unwilling to be freed? 2 Is true freedom but to break fetters for our own dear sake, and with leathern hearts forget we owe humankind a debt? No, true freedom is to share all the chains that others wear, and, with heart and hand, to be earnest to make others free. 3 They are slaves who fear to speak for the fallen and the weak; they are slaves who will not choose hatred, scoffing, and abuse, rather than in silence shrink from the truth they needs must think. They are slaves who dare not be in the right with two or three. Topics: Words and Deeds of Prophetic Women and Men Freedom; Justice and Equity; Right of Conscience Used With Tune: SALZBURG
