From All Thy Saints in Warfare

Author: Horatio, Earl Nelson, 1823-1913 Hymnal: Worship Supplement #756 (1969) Lyrics: 1 From all thy saints in warfare, For all thy saints at rest, To thee, O blessed Jesus, All praises be addressed. Thou, Lord, didst win the battle That they might conquerors be; Their crowns of living glory Are lit with rays from thee. 2 [Here insert the stanza for the special day.] 3 Then praise we God the Father, And praise we God the Son And God the Holy Spirit, Eternal Three in One, Till all the ransomed number Fall down before the throne And honor, power, and glory Ascribe to God alone. Amen. GENERAL STANZA ( when no specific one is available) Apostles, prophets, martyrs, And all the sacred throng Who wear the spotless raiment, Who raise the ceaseless song-- For these, passed on before us, Savior, we thee adore, And, walking in their footsteps, Would serve Thee more and more. ANDREW Praise, Lord, for thine apostle, The first to welcome thee, The first to lead his brother The very Christ to see. With hearts for thee made ready, May we throughout the year Still watch to lead our brethren To own thine advent near. CONVERSION OF ST. PAUL Praise for the light from heaven, Praise for the voice of awe, Praise for the glorious vision The persecutor saw. Thee, Lord, for his conversion We glorify today; Enlighten all our darkness With thy true Spirit's ray. HOLY INNOCENTS: Praise for thine infant martyrs, By thee with tenderest love Called early from their warfare To share the rest above. O Rachel, cease your weeping; Thy rest from pains and cares. Lord, grant us hearts as guileless And crowns as bright as theirs. JAMES THE ELDER For him, O Lord, we praise thee, Who, slain by Herod's sword, Drank of thy cup of suffering, Fulfilling thus thy word. Curb we all vain impatience To read thy veiled decree, And count it joy to suffer If so brought nearer thee. JOHN THE EVANGELIST Praise for the loved disciple, Exile on Patmos' shore; Praise for the faithful record He to thy Godhead bore. Praise for the mystic vision Through him to us revealed; May we, in patience waiting, With thine elect be sealed. BARTHOLOMEW: All praise for thine apostle, The faithful, pure and true, Whom underneath the fig tree Thine eye all-seeing knew; Like him may we be guileless-- True Israelites indeed-- That thine abiding presence Our longing souls may feed. MATTHEW Praise, Lord, for him whose Gospel Thy human life declared, Who, worldly gains forsaking, Thy path of suffering shared. From all unrighteous mammon, O give us hearts set free That we, whate'er our calling, May rise and follow thee. MATTHIAS THE APOSTLE Lord, thine abiding presence Directs the wondrous choice; For one in place of Judas The faithful now rejoice. The Church from false apostles Forevermore defend, And by thy parting promise Be with her to the end. NATIVITY OF JOHN THE BAPTIST We praise thee for the Baptist, Forerunner of the Word, Our true Elias, making A highway for the Lord. Of prophets last and greatest, He saw thy dawning ray, Make us the rather blessèd, Who love thy glorious day. PETER Praise for thy great apostle, The eager and the bold; Thrice falling, yet repentant, Thrice charged to feed thy fold. Lord, make thy pastors faithful To guard their flocks from ill, And grant them dauntless courage With humble earnest will. LUKE THE EVANGELIST For that beloved physician All praise, whose Gospel shows The Healer of the nations, The Sharer of our woes. Thy wine and oil, O Savior, On bruised hearts deign to pour, And with true balm of Gilead Anoint us evermore. MARK THE EVANGELIST For him, O Lord, we praise thee, The weak by grace made strong, Whose labors and whose Gospel Enrich our triumph song. May we in all our weakness Find strength from thee supplies And all as fruitful branches In thee, the Vine, abide. STEPHEN THE MARTYR Praise for the first of martyrs, Who saw thee ready stand To aid in midst of torment, To plead at God's right hand. Share we with him, if summoned By death our Lord to own, On earth the faithful witness, In heaven the martyr-crown. PHILIP AND JAMES All praise for thine apostle, Blest guide to Greek and Jew, And him surnamed thy brother; Keep us thy brethren true. And grant the grace to know thee, The Way, the Truth,the Life, To wrestle with temptations Till victors in the strife. SIMON AND JUDE Praise, Lord, for thine apostles Who sealed their faith today; One love, one zeal impelled them To tread the sacred way. May we with zeal as earnest The faith of Christ maintain And, bound in love as brethren, At length thy rest attain. THOMAS All praise for thine apostle, Whose short-lived doubtings prove Thy perfect twofold nature, The fullness of thy love. On all who wait thy coming Shed forth thy peace, O Lord, And grant us faith to know thee, True Man, true God, adored. Topics: The Christian Year Minor Festivals Tune Title: KING'S LYNN

O God of Earth and Altar

Author: Gilbert Keith Chesterton, 1874-1936 Hymnal: Worship Supplement #784 (1969) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O God of earth and altar, Bow down and hear our cry, Our earthly rulers falter, Our people drift and die; The walls of gold entomb us, The swords of scorn divide, Take not thy thunder from us, But take away our pride. 2 From all that terror teaches, From lies of tongue and pen, From all the easy speeches That comfort cruel men, From sale and profanation Of honor and the sword, From sleep and from damnation, Deliver us, good Lord! 3 Tie in a living tether The prince and priest and thrall,* Bind all our lives together, Smite us and save us all; In ire and exultation Aflame with faith, and free, Lift up a living nation, A single sword to thee. Amen. *thrall - a person in bondage Topics: The Nation Tune Title: KING'S LYNN

No Longer Forward nor Behind

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #9 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1 No longer forward nor behind I look in hope or fear; but, grateful, take the good I find, the best of now and here. I break my pilgrim staff, I lay aside the toiling oar; the angel sought so far away I welcome at my door. 2 For all the jarring notes of life seem blending in a psalm, and all the angles of its strife slow rounding into calm. And so the shadows fall apart, and so the west winds play; and all the windows of my heart I open to the day.
