When we pass through yonder river

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (born 1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.8.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: The Ascension of Christ Lyrics: 1 God of gods, we sound his praises, highest heaven its homage brings; earth and all creation raises glory to the King of kings: holy, holy, holy, name him, Lord of all his hosts proclaim him; to the everlasting Father every tongue in triumph sings. 2 Christians in their hearts enthrone him, tell his praises wide abroad; prophets, priests, apostles own him martyrs' crown and saints' reward. Three-in-One his glory sharing, earth and heaven his praise declaring, praise the high majestic Father, praise the everlasting Lord! 3 Hail the Christ, the king of glory, he whose praise the angels cry; born to share our human story, love and labour, grieve and die: by his cross his work completed, sinners ransomed, death defeated; in the glory of the Father Christ ascended reigns on high. 4 Lord, we look for your returning; teach us so to walk your ways, hearts and minds your will discerning, lives alight with joy and praise: in your love and care enfold us, by your constancy uphold us; may your mercy, Lord and Father, keep us now and all our days!

Be sober watching unto pray'r

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Sunday after Ascension-Day Lyrics: 1 Be sober watching unto pray'r, Ye who would serve the Lord; Since faithful christian's duties are, To walk the narrow road. 2 Let fervent charity abound, That grace from God above; For where that precious gift is found, It covers faults with love. 3 Where charity possess the mind, It proves itself indeed; Such are affectionate and kind To all that are in need. 4 Such ne'er begrudge what they can do But help on ev'ry side; And thus to help each other through, Real Christians are employ'd. 5 As faithful Stewards of the Lord Each occupy his place; And use the Oracles and word With all the means of grace. 6 O what a pitty, Lord it is That many son's of men! Will never be convinc'd of this, Salvation to obtain. Scripture: 1 Peter 4:8-11
