O, that I might hear the angels
Author: Anon. Appears in 67 hymnals Topics: General Processionals First Line: Daily, daily sing the praises Lyrics: 1 Daily, daily sing the praises
Of the City God hath made;
In the beauteous fields of Eden
Its foundation stones are laid:
O that I might hear the angels
Singing o'er the crystal sea,
And amidst the fields of Eden
Find a home prepared for me!
2 All the walls of that dear City
Are of bright and burnished gold;
It is matchless in its beauty,
And its treasures are untold.
O that I might, etc.
3 There are sounds of many voices
In the golden streets above,
Filling all the air with gladness,
Blended in eternal love.
O that I might, etc.
4 In those quiet resting places,
Midst the pastures green and fair,
Jesus gathers in the homeless,
And He dwells among them there.
O that I might, etc.
5 Can we see the happy faces
Of the dear ones gone before?
They are ready now to greet us
When we gain that blessed shore.
O that I might, etc.
6 Then the pearly gates, unfolding,
Never shall be closed again,
We shall see within the City
Jesus, 'mid His white-robed train.
O that I might, etc.
7 O I would my ears were open
Here to catch that happy strain!
O I would my eyes some vision
Of that Eden could attain!
O that I might, etc. Used With Tune: DAILY, DAILY

Beautiful Upon The Mountain
Author: H. Brueckner Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Processionals and Recessionals The Ministry Lyrics: 1 Beautiful upon the mountain
Are the feet of shepherds true,
Who from out the living Fountain
Grace dispense each day anew.
Precious is the peace they offer
In the Savior's own dear name,
Who, for us His life to proffer,
From His throne in heav'n He came.
2 Earthly chains must not enslave him
Who would serve our gracious Lord;
In the strength the Master gave him
He must preach His holy Word,
Gladly bearing pain and sorrow,
Self-forgetful evermore.
Hoping that a brighter morrow
God has kept for him in store.
3 Let him speak to ev'ry nation
Of the Savior's boundless love;
Let him tell of God's salvation,
Of the blissful home above.
Let him comfort hearts that languish
In the throes of sin and pain,
That, relieved from all their anguish,
Peace and rest they may obtain.
4 Be it told to sinners stricken
With the fear of death and hell:
Christ your fainting hearts will quicken
And all mortal fears dispel.
Be it told to those in prison,
Chained by tho'ts of doubt and care:
Christ, Who died, again is risen
And with you His home will share. Used With Tune: ST. ASAPH Text Sources: From the French, 1830-1850
Beautiful Upon The Mountain
Angels sing His triumph as you sang His birth
Author: Phillips Brooks Appears in 71 hymnals Topics: Processional First Line: God hath sent His angels to the earth again Lyrics:
God hath sent his angels to the earth again,
Bringing joyful tidings to the sons of men;
They who first, at Christmas, thronged the heavenly way,
Now beside the tomb-door, sit on Easter Day.
Angels sing his triumph, as you sang his birth,
"Christ, the Lord, is risen. Peace, goodwill on earth."
In the dreadful desert, where the Lord was tried,
There the faithful angels gathered at his side;
And when in the garden, grief and pain and care
Bowed him down with anguish, they were with him there.
Yet the Christ they honor is the same Christ still,
Who, in light and darkness, did his Father's will;
And the tomb deserted shineth like the sky,
Since he passed out from it into victory.
God has still His angels, helping, at his word,
All his faithful children, like their faithful Lord;
Soothing them in sorrow, arming them in strife,
Opening wide the tomb-doors, leading into life.

All Depends On Our Possessing
Author: Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Processionals and Recessionals General Lyrics: 1 All depends on our possessing
God's abundant grace and blessing;
Earthly treasures quickly wane.
He whose hope on God is founded
Has a wealth of joy unbounded,
And His heart will firm remain.
2 He Who hitherto has fed me
And to verdant pastures led me
Is and ever shall be mine;
He whose love has wisely schooled me,
And whose hand has gently ruled me,
Will not leave me now to pine.
3 Many spend their lives in fretting
Over trifles, or regretting
Things not destined to remain;
I shall strive to win a treasure
That will bring me lasting pleasure
And a joy that ne'er shall wane.
4 Well He knows what best to grant me,
Things that pain or that enchant me;
All events must have their day.
What to do I may not tell Him,
Nor to grant my wish compel Him;
When He speaks, I will obey.
5 If on earth my days He lengthen,
He my weary soul will strengthen
In the years that now look dim;
Earthly things are ever going,
Like a river onward flowing;
But I rest in peace on Him.

The Lord To Thee Appealeth
Author: P. C. Paulsen; N. F. S. Grundtvig Meter: 7.6.7.6.8.7.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Processionals and Recessionals Confirmation Lyrics: 1 The Lord to thee appealeth
To be His servant true;
And if thou wilt, He sealeth
His covenant anew.
Then do thou clasp His willing hand,
Which He to thee revealeth
From yonder happy land.
2 The rod and staff it wieldeth,
How comforting in need!
From perils sore it shieldeth
Thy trembling soul indeed;
At last it rends the azure sky,
The earth thy body yieldeth
To join thy soul on high.
3 The crown of life is given
To thee who faithful art,
Who earnestly hast striven
To serve with trusting heart.
God moveth thee thy voice to raise,
And sendeth thee from heaven
Sweet tunes, His name to praise.
4 With voices sweetly ringing,
We therefore bless His hand,
To Christ our tribute bringing
With heaven's joyful band.
He is the Victor in the strife;
His praises ever singing,
We pass thro' death to life.

Oh, Christians! leagued together
Author: Lillian Weaver Cassaday Meter: Irregular Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: Processional Lyrics: 1 Oh, Christians! leagued together
To battle for the right,
Arise and don your armor,
Put the foe to flight,
We’ve given our allegiance
To serve without surcease
The mighty Lord of Armies
And gentle Prince of Peace.

All hail, our glorious Saviour,
Our lives for Thee make bold,
Beneath our Luther ensign,
Black, red, white, blue and gold.
2 Then onward be the war cry
And onward still, so long
As we have self to conquer,
Souls to cheer with song.
Let sound the martial music,
Ring out the bugle call
To rally for the conflict
Our people one and all! [Refrain]
3 We proudly bear as banner
A cross within the heart
To show that we have chosen
Christ, the better part.
Then joy and peace and comfort
Shall blossom as a rose
Until our earthly blessings
The worth of heaven disclose. [Refrain] Used With Tune: PACTUM
Oh, Christians! leagued together
