nearer to thee!
E'en though it be a cross
that raiseth me;
still all my song shall be,
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee!
2 Though like the wanderer,
the sun gone down,
darkness be over me,
my rest a stone;
yet in my dreams I'd be
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee.
3 There let the way appear
steps unto heaven;
all that thou sendest me
in mercy given;
angels to beckon me
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee.
4 Then, with my waking thoughts
bright with thy praise,
out of my stony griefs
Bethel I'll raise;
so by my woes to be
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee.
5 Or if, on joyful wing
cleaving the sky,
sun, moon, and stars forgot,
upward I fly,
still all my song shall be,
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee! Used With Tune: BETHANY

To the former days belong.

Soon the storms of time shall cease;
In God's likeness, we awaken,
Knowing 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;
Ev'ry humble spirit shares it.
Christ has passed the eternal gates.

Jesus lives who once was dead;
Shout with joy, O deathless voices!
Child of God, lift up your head!
Patriarchs from the distant ages,
Saints all longing for their heaven,
Prophets, psalmists, seers, and sages,
All await the glory giv'n.
4 Life eternal! O what wonders
Crowd on faith; what joy unknown,
When, amidst earth's closing thunders,
Saints shall stand before the throne!
O to enter that bright portal,
See that glowing firmament,
Know, with you, O God Immortal,
"Jesus Christ whom you have sent!" Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:20 Used With Tune: HYMN TO JOY

Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns
All music but its own.
Awake, my soul, and sing
Of him who set us free,
And hail him as your heav'nly King
Through all eternity.
2 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.
3 Crown him the Lord of love,
Behold his hands and side,
Rich wounds, yet visible above
In beauty glorified.
No angel in the sky
Can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends his burning eye
At mysteries so bright.
4 Crown him the Lord of peace,
Whose power a scepter sways
From pole to pole, that wars may cease,
Absorbed in prayer and praise.
His reign shall know no end,
And round his pierced feet
Fair flow'rs of Paradise extend
Their fragrance ever sweet.
5 Crown him the Lord of years,
The risen Lord sublime,
Creator of the rolling spheres,
The Master of all time.
All hail, Redeemer, hail!
For you have died for me;
Your praise and glory shall not fail
Throughout eternity.

In the eucharistic feast.
