I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see. 2 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved; how precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed! 3 Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come: 'tis grace has brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home. 4 The Lord has promised good to me, his word my hope secures; he will my shield and portion be as long as life endures. 5 Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail, and mortal life shall cease: I shall possess, within the veil, a life of joy and peace. 6 The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, the sun forbear to shine; but God, who called me here below, will be forever mine.

Crown with Your Richest Crowns

Author: Godfrey Thring; Matthew Bridges; Thomas H. Troeger Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 798 hymnals Topics: Year A All Saints Lyrics: 1 Crown with your richest crowns the Lamb upon the throne; Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own. Awake, my soul, and sing of Christ who died for you, And to your risen Savior bring your thanks for life made new. 2 Crown Christ whose love has flowed down hands and feet and side. Look past the peak of Calvary's road to Christ the glorified. The sun that lights the sky is pale before that sight. At prayer we glimpse then turn the eye from mysteries so bright. 3 Crown Christ the truth, the life who triumphed o’er the grave, And rose victorious in the strife, this fallen world to save. Christ's glories now we sing, Christ's name we magnify, Who died eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die. 4 Crown Christ who rules in peace, whose power a sceptre sways From pole to pole, that wars may cease, and all be prayer and praise: Christ's reign shall have no end, for 'round those wounded feet a fragrant garden shall extend forever green and sweet. 5 Crown Christ who holds the years, embracing space and time, Creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime: All hail, Redeemer, hail! For you have died for me; Your praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity. Scripture: Revelation 7:9-10 Used With Tune: DIADEMATA

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 314 hymnals Topics: All Saints Year B Lyrics: 1 Here, O my Lord, I see you face to face, here would I touch and handle things unseen, here grasp with firmer hand eternal grace, and all my weariness upon you lean. 2 Here I will feed upon the bread of God, here drink with you the royal wine of heaven; here I will lay aside each earthly load, here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven. 3 This is the hour of banquet and of song; this is the heavenly table for me spread; here let me feast, and feasting, still prolong the fellowship of living wine and bread. 4 Too soon we rise, the symbols disappear. The feast, though not the love, is past and gone: the bread and wine remove, but you are here, nearer than ever, still my shield and sun. 5 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by, yet, passing, points to that glad feast above, giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, the Lamb’s great bridal feast of bliss and love.

Mighty King whom angels worship, Father, by your church adored: all creation shows your glory, heaven and earth draw near your throne singing "Holy, holy, holy, Lord of hosts, and God alone!" 2 True apostles, faithful prophets, saints who set their world ablaze, martyrs, once unknown, unheeded, join one growing song of praise, while your church on earth confesses one majestic Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, God, our hope eternally. 3 Jesus Christ, the king of glory, everlasting Son of God, humble was your virgin mother, hard the lonely path you trod: by your cross is sin defeated, hell confronted face to face, heaven opened to believers, sinners justified by grace. 4 Christ, at God's right hand victorious, you will judge the world you made; Lord, in mercy help your servants for whose freedom you have paid: raise us up from dust to glory, guard us from all sin today; King enthroned above all praises, save your people, God, we pray.
