Lord of the Sabbath, hear our vows

Author: Dr. Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Appears in 182 hymnals Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God The Lord's Day Lyrics: 1 Lord of the Sabbath hear our vows, On this Thy day, in this Thy house; And own, as grateful sacrifice, The songs which from Thy servants rise. 2 Thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord, we love, But there's a nobler rest above; To that our labouring souls aspire, With ardent hope, and strong desire. 3 No more fatigue, no more distress Nor sin nor hell shall reach the place; No sighs shall mingle with the songs Which warble from immortal tongues. 4 No rude alarms of raging foes; No cares to break the long repose; No midnight shade, no clouded sun, But sacred, high, eternal noon. 5 O long-expected day, begin! Dawn on these realms of woe and sin; Fain would we leave this weary road, And sleep in death, to rest with God. Used With Tune: ST. ALBAN

Angels in the heights, adoring, you behold God face to face; saints triumphant, now adoring, gathered in from every race. Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise with us the God of grace.

Give me the wings of faith to rise

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 525 hymnals Topics: Saints Days and Holy Days Any Saint Lyrics: 1 Give me the wings of faith to rise within the veil, and see the saints above, how great their joys, how bright their glories be. 2 Once they were mourning here below, and poured out sighs and tears; they wrestled hard, as we do now, with sins and doubts and fears. 3 I ask them whence their victory came; they, with united breath, ascribe their conquest to the Lamb, their triumph to his death. 4 They marked the footsteps that he trod, his zeal inspired their quest, and, following their incarnate God, possess the promised rest. 5 Our glorious leader claims our praise for his own pattern given; while the long cloud of witnesses show the same path to heaven.

Lord of Life and King of Glory

Author: Christian Burke, 1859-c.1915 Appears in 36 hymnals Topics: Mother's Day Lyrics: 1 Lord of life and King of glory, Who didst deign a child to be, Cradled on a mother’s bosom, Throned upon a mother’s knee: For the children Thou hast given We must answer unto Thee! 2 Since the day the blessed mother Thee, the world's Redeemer, bore, Thou hast crowned us with an honor Women never knew before; And that we may bear it meetly, We must seek Thine aid the more. 3 Grant us then pure hearts and patient, That in all we do or say Little ones our deeds may copy, And be never led astray; Little feet our steps may follow In a safe and narrow way. 4 When our growing sons and daughters Look on life with eager eyes, Grant us then a deeper insight And new powers of sacrifice: Hope to trust them, faith to guide them, Love that nothing good denies. 5 May we keep our holy calling Stainless in its fair renown, That, when all the work is over And we lay the burdens down, Then the children Thou hast given Still may be our joy and crown. Amen. Used With Tune: SICILIAN MARINER'S HYMN

I know not, O I know not, What joys await us there; What radiancy of glory, What bliss beyond compare. 2 They stand, those halls of Zion, All jubilant with song, And bright with many an angel, And all the martyr throng. The Prince is ever in them, The daylight is serene; The pastures of the blessed Are decked in glorious sheen. 3 There is the throne of David; And there, from care released, The song of them that triumph, The shout of them that feast; And they who with their Leader Have conquered in the fight, Forever and forever Are clad in robes of white. 4 O sweet and blessed country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessed country That eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest; Who art, with God the Father And Spirit, ever blest. Amen.
