While, with ceaseless course, the sun
Author: J. Newton, 1725-1807 Appears in 591 hymnals Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Ordinances Lyrics: 1 While, with ceaseless course, the sun
Hasted through the circling year,
Many souls their race have run,
Never more to meet us here;
Fixed in an eternal state,
They have done with all below;
We a little longer wait,
But how little--none can know.
2 As the winged arrow flies
Speedily the mark to find;
As the lightning from the skies
Darts, and leaves no trace behind;
Swiftly thus our fleeting days
Bear us down life's rapid stream;
Upward, Lord, our spirits raise;
All below is but a dream.
3 Thanks for mercies past receive;
Pardon of our sins renew;
Teach us henceforth how to live
With eternity in view;
Bless Thy word to young and old;
Fill us with a Saviour's love;
And when life's short tale is told,
May we dwell with Him above. Used With Tune: BENEVENTO
While, with ceaseless course, the sun
Rejoice, the Lord Is King
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 753 hymnals Topics: Kingdom of God Lyrics: 1. Rejoice, the Lord is King!
Your Lord and King adore;
mortals, give thanks and sing,
and triumph evermore.
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
rejoice; again I say, rejoice.
2. Jesus the Savior reigns,
the God of truth and love;
when he had purged our stains,
he took his seat above.
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
rejoice; again I say, rejoice.
3. His kingdom cannot fail;
he rules o'er earth and heaven;
the keys of earth and hell
are to our Jesus given.
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
rejoice; again I say, rejoice.
4. Rejoice in glorious hope!
Jesus the Judge shall come,
and take his servants up
to their eternal home.
We soon shall hear th'archangel's voice;
the trump of God shall sound, rejoice!

Abide with me, fast falls the eventide
Author: H. F. Lyte, 1793-1847 Appears in 1,719 hymnals Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Evening Lyrics: 1 Abide with me, fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide!
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me!
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away,
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.
3 I need Thy presence every passing hour;
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me!
4 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless,
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness;
Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me!
5 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies,
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee,
In life and death, O Lord, abide with me! Used With Tune: EVENTIDE
Abide with me, fast falls the eventide

O Say, Can You See (The Star-Spangled Banner)
Author: Frances Scott Key, 1779-1834 Meter: Irregular with refrain Appears in 447 hymnals Topics: Kingdom of God on Earth Patriotic First Line: O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light Refrain First Line: O say, does that Star-spangled Banner yet wave Lyrics: 1 O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does the Star-Spangled Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
2 On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dead silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream;
'Tis the Star-Spangled Banner; O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
3 And where is that band, who so vauntingly swore,
'Mid the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country they'd leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution;
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave,
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
4 O thus be it ever when free men shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation;
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just;
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust!"
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. Scripture: Psalm 33:12 Used With Tune: NATIONAL ANTHEM

Teach us, O Lord, true brotherhood
O worship the King, all glorious above!
Author: Sir R. Grant, 1785-1838 Appears in 1,171 hymnals Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Evening Lyrics: 1 O worship the King all glorious above!
O gratefully sing His power and His love!
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendour, and girded with praise.
2 O tell of His might, O sing of His grace,
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space;
His chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form;
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.
3 The earth, with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old,
Hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree,
And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea.
4 Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light,
It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
And sweetly distils in the dew and the rain.
5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail:
Thy mercies, how tender, how firm to the end,
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer and Friend.
6 O measureless Might, ineffable Love,
While angels delight to hymn Thee above,
The humbler creation, though feeble their lays,
With true adoration shall sing to Thy praise. Used With Tune: HANOVER
O worship the King, all glorious above!
