Father of all, from land and sea
Author: Bishop Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: HPAG1933 #426 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.4 Lyrics: 1 Father of all, from land and sea
The nations sing, "Thine, Lord, are we;
Countless in number, but in Thee
May we be one."
2 O Son of God, whose love so free
For men did make Thee Man to be,
United to our God in Thee
May we be one.
3 Join high with low, join young with old,
In love that never waxes cold;
Under one Shepherd, in one fold,
Make us all one.
4 O Spirit blest, who from above
Cam'st gently gliding like a dove,
Calm all our strive, give faith and love;
O make us one!

Father of all, from land and sea
Ten thousand times ten thousand
Author: Rev. Henry Alford Hymnal: HPAG1933 #427 (1950) Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Ten thousand times ten thousand
In sparkling raiment bright,
The armies of the ransomed saints
Throng up the steeps of light;
'Tis finished, all is finished,
Their fight with death and sin:
Fling open wide the golden gates,
And let the victors in.
2 What rush of alleluias
Fills all the earth and sky!
What ringing of a thousand harps
Bespeaks the triumph nigh!
O day, for which creation
And all its tribes were made;
O joy, for all its former woes
A thousandfold repaid!
3 O then what raptured greetings
On Canaan's happy shore;
What knitting severed friendships up
Where partings are no more!
Then eyes with joy shall sparkle,
That brimmed with tears of late;
Orphans no longer fatherless,
Nor widows desolate.
4 Bring near Thy great salvation,
Thou Lamb for sinners slain;
Fill up the roll of Thine elect,
Then take Thy power, and reign;
Appear, Desire of nations,
Thine exiles long for home;
Show in the heaven Thy promised sign;
Thou Prince and Saviour, come.

Ten thousand times ten thousand
Upward where the stars are burning
Author: Rev. Horatius Bonar Hymnal: HPAG1933 #428 (1950) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Upward where the stars are burning,
Silent, silent in their turning
Round the never-changing pole;
Upward where the sky is brightest,
Upward where the blue is lightest,
Lift I now my longing soul.
2 Where the Lamb on high is seated,
By ten thousand voices greeted,
Lord of lords, and King of kings.
Son of Man, they crown, they crown Him,
Son of God, they own, they own Him;
With His Name the palace rings.
3 Blessing, honor, without measure,
Heavenly riches, earthly treasure,
Lay we at His blessed feet;
Poor the praise that now we render,
Loud shall be our voices yonder,
When before His throne we meet.

Thy Name, O Jesus, be forever blest.

And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong.

For all the saints who from their labors rest
O what their joy and their glory must be
Author: Rev. John Mason Neale; Pierre Abelard (1079-1142) Hymnal: HPAG1933 #430 (1950) Lyrics: 1 O what their joy and their glory must be,
Those endless Sabbaths the blessed ones see;
Crown for the valiant, to weary ones rest;
God shall be All, and in all ever blest.
2 Truly Jerusalem name we that shore,
"Vision of Peace," that brings joy evermore;
Wish and fulfillment can severed be ne'er,
Nor the thing prayed for come short of the prayer.
3 There, where no troubles distraction can bring,
We the sweet anthems of Zion shall sing;
While for Thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise
Thy blessed people shall evermore raise.
4 Low before Him with our praises we fall,
Of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all;
Of whom, the Father; and through whom, the Son;
In whom, the Spirit, with these ever One.

Angels of Jesus, Angels of light
Author: Rev. Frederick W. Faber Hymnal: HPAG1933 #431 (1950) Meter: 11.10.11.10.9.11 First Line: Hark! hark, my soul! angelic songs are swelling Lyrics: 1 Hark! hark, my soul! Angelic songs are swelling
O'er earth's green fields and ocean's wave-beat shore:
How sweet the truth those blessed strains are telling
Of that new life when sin shall be no more.
Refrain:
Angels of Jesus, Angels of light,
Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night!
2 Onward we go, for still we hear them singing,
"Come, weary souls, for Jesus bids you come";
And through the dark, its echoes sweetly ringing,
The music of the gospel leads us home. [Refrain]
3 Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing,
The voice of Jesus sounds o'er land and sea;
And laden souls, by thousands meekly stealing,
Kind Shepherd, turn their weary steps to Thee. [Refrain]
4 Rest comes at length: though life be long and dreary,
The day must dawn, and darksome night be past;
Faith's journeys end in welcome to the weary,
And heaven, the heart's true home, will come at last. [Refrain]
5 Angels, sing on, your faithful watches keeping;
Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above,
Till morning's joy shall end the night of weeping,
And life's long shadows break in cloudless love. [Refrain]

Angels of Jesus, Angels of light
We know not a voice of that river
Author: Christina G. Rossetti Hymnal: HPAG1933 #432 (1950) Meter: 9.8.10.5 Lyrics: 1 We know not a voice of that river,
If vocal or silent it be,
Where forever and ever and ever
It flows to no sea.
2 More deep than the seas is that river,
More full than their manifold tides,
Where forever and ever and ever
It flows and abides.
3 O goodly the banks of that river,
O goodly the fruits that they bear,
Where forever and ever and ever
It flows and is fair.
4 For lo! on each bank of that river,
The tree that is life-giving grows,
Where forever and ever and ever
The pure river flows.

We know not a voice of that river
O Love that lights the eastern sky
Author: Rev. Louis F. Benson Hymnal: HPAG1933 #433 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O Love that lights the eastern sky
And shrouds the evening rest,
From out whose hand the swallows fly,
Within whose heart they nest!
2 O life, content beneath the blue!
Or, if God will, the gray,
Then tranquil yet, till light breaks through
To melt the mist away!
3 O death that sails so close to shore
At twilight! From my gate
I scan the darkening sea once more,
And for its message wait.
4 What lies beyond the afterglow?
To life's new dawn how far?
As if an answer, spoken low,
Love lights the evening star.
Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting ; Eternal Life; Funeral Services; Heaven; Hope; Immortal Life Tune Title: VITTEL WOODS
O Love that lights the eastern sky
The sands of time are sinking
Author: Annie Ross Cousin Hymnal: HPAG1933 #434 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.5 Lyrics: 1 The sands of time are sinking,
The dawn of heaven breaks;
The summer morn I've sighed for,
The fair, sweet morn, awakes;
Dark, dark hath been the midnight,
But day-spring is at hand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land.
2 O Christ, He is the fountain,
The deep, sweet well of love!
The streams on earth I've tasted
More deep I'll drink above:
There to an ocean fulness
His mercy doth expand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land.
3 With mercy and with judgment
My web of time He wove,
And aye the dews of sorrow
Were lustered by His love.
I'll bless the hand that guided,
I'll bless the heart that planned,
When throned where glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land.
Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting ; Eternal Life; Funeral Services; Heaven; Immortal Life Tune Title: RUTHERFORD
The sands of time are sinking
