Blessed city, heavenly Salem
Author: J. M. Neale Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 78 hymnals Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts Lyrics: 1 Blessed city, heavenly Salem,
Vision dear of peace and love,
Who of living stones art builded
In the height of heaven above,
And, with angel hosts encircled,
As a bride dost earthward move;
2 From celestial realms descending,
Bridal glory round thee shed,
Meet for Him Whose love espoused thee,
To thy Lord shall thou be led;
All thy streets and all thy bulwarks
Of pure gold are fashionèd.
3 Bright thy gates of pearl are shining,
They are open evermore;
And by virtue of His merits
Thither faithful souls do soar,
Who for Christ's dear Name, in this world
Pain and tribulation bore.
4 Many a blow and biting sculpture
Polished well those stones elect,
In their places now compacted
By the heavenly Architect,
Who therewith hath willed forever
That His palace should be decked.
5 Laud and honor to the Father,
Laud and honor to the Son,
Laud and honor to the Spirit,
Ever Three, and ever One,
Consubstantial, Co-eternal,
While unending ages run.
Amen. Used With Tune: ORIEL

For all Your saints at rest,
Your holy name, O Jesus,
Forevermore be blest!
For You have won the battle
That they might wear the crown;
And now they shine in glory
Reflected from Your throne.
2 Insert the stanza appropriate to the day.
3 Then let us praise the Father
And worship God the Son
And sing to God the Spirit,
Eternal Three in One,
Till all the ransomed number
Fall down before the throne,
Ascribing pow'r and glory
And praise to God alone.
St. Mark, Evangelist:
15 For Mark, O Lord, we praise You,
The weak by grace made strong,
Whose labors and whose Gospel
Enrich our triumph song.
May we, in all our weakness,
Reflect Your servant life
And follow in Your footsteps,
Enduring cross and strife.
St. Philip and St. James, Apostles:
16 We praise You, Lord, for Philip,
Blest guide to Greek and Jew,
And for young James the faithful,
Who heard and followed You.
O grant us grace to know You,
The way, the truth, the life,
To wrestle with temptation,
To triumph in the strife.
St. Barnabas, Apostle:
17 For Barnabas we praise You,
Who kept Your law of love
And, leaving earthly treasures,
Sought riches from above.
O Christ, our Lord and Savior,
Let gifts of grace descend,
That Your true consolation
May through the world extend.
The Nativity of St. John the Baptist:
18 We praise You for the Baptist,
Forerunner of the Word,
Our true Elijah making
A highway for the Lord.
The last and greatest prophet,
He saw the dawning ray
Of light that grows in splendor
Until the perfect day.
St. Peter and St. Paul, Apostles:
19 We praise You for Saint Peter;
We praise You for Saint Paul;
They taught both Jew and Gentile
That Christ is all in all.
To cross and sword they yielded
And saw Your kingdom come;
O God, these two apostles
Reached life through martyrdom.
St. Mary Magdalene:
20 All praise for Mary Magdalene,
Whose wholeness was restored
By You, her faithful master,
Her Savior and her Lord.
On Easter morning early
A word from You sufficed;
For she was first to see You,
Her Lord, the risen Christ.
St. James the Elder, Apostle:
21 O Lord, for James we praise You,
Who fell to Herod's sword;
He drank the cup of suff'ring
And thus fulfilled Your word.
Lord, curb our vain impatience
For glory and for fame,
Equip us for such suff'rings
As glorify Your name.
St. Mary, Mother of Our Lord:
22 We sing with joy of Mary,
Whose heart with awe was stirred
When, youthful and astonished,
She heard the angel's word.
Yet she her voice upraises
To magnify God's name,
As once for our salvation
Your mother she became.
St. Bartholomew, Apostle:
23 All praise for him whose candor
Through all his doubt You saw
When Philip at the fig tree
Disclosed You in the law.
Discern, beneath our surface,
O Lord, what we can be,
That by Your truth made guileless,
Your glory we may see.

St. Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist:
25 Praise, Lord, for him whose Gospel
Your human life declared,
Who, worldly gain forsaking,
Your path of suff'ring shared.
From all unrighteous mammon,
O raise our eyes anew
That we in our vocation
May rise and follow You.
St. Luke, Evangelist:
26 For that belov'd physician
All praise, whose Gospel shows
The Healer of the nations,
The one who shares our woes.
Your wine and oil, O Savior,
Upon our spirits pour,
And with true balm of Gilead
Anoint us evermore.
St. James of Jerusalem:
27 (protected by copyright)
St. Simon and St. Jude, Apostles:
28 Praise, Lord, for Your apostles,
Saint Simon and Saint Jude,
One love, one hope impelled them
To tread the way, renewed.
May we with zeal as earnest
The faith of Christ maintain,
Be bound in love together,
And life eternal gain.

Conquering kings their titles take
Author: J. Chandler Appears in 62 hymnals Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts The Circumcision Lyrics: 1 Conquering kings their titles take
From the foes they captive make:
Jesus, by a nobler deed,
From the thousands He hath freed.
2 Yes: no other Name is given
Unto mortals under heaven,
Which can make the dead arise,
And exalt them to the skies.
3 We would gladly for that Name
Bear the cross, endure the shame:
Joyfully for Him to die,
Is not death but victory.
4 Jesus, Who dost condescend
To be called the sinner's Friend,
Hear us, as to Thee we pray,
Glorying in Thy Name to-day.
Amen.

Conquering kings their titles take
O what the joy and the glory must be
Author: P. Abelard; J. M. Neale Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 139 hymnals Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts Lyrics: 1 Oh, what the joy and the glory must be,
Those endless Sabbaths the blessèd ones see!
Crown for the valiant, to weary ones rest;
God shall be all, and in all ever blest.
2 What are the Monarch, His court, and His throne?
What are the peace and the joy that they own?
Oh, that the blest ones, who in it have share,
All that they feel could as fully declare!
3 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.
4 There, where no troubles distraction can bring,
We the sweet anthems of Sion shall sing;
While for thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise
Thy blessèd people eternally raise.
5 There dawns no Sabbath, no Sabbath is o'er,
Those Sabbath-keepers have one evermore;
One and unending is that triumph-song
Which to the angels and us shall belong.
6 Now, in the meanwhile, with hearts raised on high,
We for that country must yearn and must sigh;
Seeking Jerusalem, dear native land,
Through our long exile on Babylon's strand.
7 Low before Him with our praises we fall,
Of Whom, and in Whom, and through Whom are all;
Of Whom, the Father; and in Whom, the Son;
Through Whom, the Spirit, with Them ever One.

The Lord's my shepherd
Appears in 611 hymnals Topics: Feast / Food First Line: The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want (Choo naw-eh mohk-jaw tweh-shee-nee) (Jésus est mon divin berger) Lyrics: 1 The Lord’s my shepherd; I’ll not want.
He makes me down to lie
in pastures green; he leadeth me
the quiet waters by.
2 My soul he doth restore again
and me to walk doth make
within the paths of righteousness,
even for his own name’s sake.
3 Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale,
yet will I fear none ill;
for thou art with me, and thy rod
and staff me comfort still.
4 My table thou hast furnished
in presence of my foes;
my head thou dost with oil anoint,
and my cup overflows.
5 Goodness and mercy all my life
shall surely follow me
and in God’s house forevermore
my dwelling place shall be.

1 Jésus est mon divin berger,
réjouis-toi mon âme,
seul il délivre du danger,
tout en moi le réclame.
2 Non, je ne manquerai de rien,
car, ô grâce infinie,
Jésus est l'ami, le gardien,
en qui je me confie.
3 Jour après jour, il me conduit
dans ses verts pâturages,
de son amour il me nourrit
sous ses divins ombrages.
4 Je ne craindrai donc aucun mal,
quand au cours du voyage
il me faudra, du sombre val,
franchir le noir passage!
5 Toujours sa grâce et son amour
me suivront sur la terre,
et tout sera, dans son séjour:
paix, gloire, amour, lumière.

The Lord's my shepherd
High in the heavens, eternal God
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 381 hymnals Topics: Feast / Food Lyrics: 1 High in the heavens, eternal God,
thy goodness in full glory shines:
thy truth shall break through every cloud
that veils and darkens thy designs.
2 Forever firm thy justice stands,
as mountains their foundations keep;
wise are the wonders of thy hands;
thy judgments are a mighty deep.
3 From the provisions of thy house
we shall be fed with sweet repast;
there mercy like a river flows
and brings salvation to our taste.
4 Life, like a fountain, rich and free,
springs from the presence of the Lord,
and in thy light our souls shall see
the glories promised in thy word.
Scripture: Psalm 36:5-6 Used With Tune: SONG 34
