Ye holy angels bright

Author: John Hampden Gurney, 1802 - 62; Richard Baxter, 1615 - 91 Appears in 120 hymnals Topics: The Church Worship - The Close of Service Lyrics: 1 Ye holy angels bright, Who wait at God's right hand, Or through the realms of light Fly at your Lord's command: Assist our song, Or else the theme Too high doth seem For mortal tongue. 2 Ye blessed souls at rest, Who ran this earthly race, And now, from sin released, Behold the Saviour's face, His praises sound, As in his sight With sweet delight Ye do abound. 3 Ye saints, who toil below, Adore your heavenly King, And onward as ye go Some joyful anthem sing; Take what he gives And praise him still, Through good or ill, Who ever lives! 4 My soul, bear thou thy part, Triumph in God above, And with a well-tuned heart Sing thou the songs of love; Let all thy days Till life shall end, Whate'er he send, Be filled with praise.

Thine wholly, thine alone I am; Be thou alone my constant flame. 2 O grant that nothing in my soul May dwell, but thy pure love alone; O may thy love possess me whole, My joy, my treasure, and my crown; Strange fires far from my soul remove; May every act, word, thought, be love. 3 O Love, how cheering is thy ray! All pain before thy presence flies; Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away, Where'er thy healing beams arise. O Jesus, nothing may I see, Nothing desire or seek, but thee. 4 Unwearied, may I this pursue, Dauntless, to this high prize aspire; Hourly within my soul renew This holy flame, this heavenly fire; And day and night be all my care To guard this sacred treasure there.

Forward! be our watch-word

Author: Henry Alford, 1810 - 71 Appears in 345 hymnals Topics: The Church Worship - The Close of Service Lyrics: 1 Forward! be our watchword, Steps and voices joined; Seek the things before us, Not a look behind; Burns the fiery pillar At our army's head; Who shall dream of shrinking, By our Captain led? Forward through the desert, Through the toil and fight; Jordan flows before us, Sion beams with light. 2 Glories upon glories Hath our God prepared, By the souls that love Him One day to be shared; Eye hath not beheld them, Ear hath never heard; Nor of these hath uttered Thought or speech a word. Forward, marching eastward Where the heaven is bright, Till the veil be lifted, Till our faith be sight. 3 Far o'er yon horizon Rise the city towers; Where our God abideth, That fair home is ours: Flash the streets with jasper, Shine the gates with gold; Flows the gladdening river, Shedding joys untold: Thither, onward thither, In the Spirit's might; Pilgrims, to your country, Forward into light! 4 To the Father's glory Loudest anthems raise; To the Son and Spirit Echo songs of praise; To the Lord almighty, Blessèd Three in One, Be by men and angels Endless honor done. Weak are earthly praises, Dull the songs of night; Forward into triumph Forward into light! Used With Tune: FORWARD (SMART)

The Son of God goes forth to war

Author: Reginald Heber, 1783 - 1826 Appears in 849 hymnals Topics: The Church Worship - The Close of Service Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain: His blood-red banner streams afar; Who follows in his train? Who best can drink his cup of woe, Triumphant over pain; Who patient bears his cross below, He follows in his train. 2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave, Who saw his Master in the sky And called on him to save; Like him, with pardon on his tongue, In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong: Who follows in his train? A-men. 3 A glorious band, the chosen few, On whom the Spirit came, Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, And mocked the cross and flame. They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane; They bowed their necks the death to feel: Who follows in their train? 4 A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Saviour's throne rejoice In robes of light arrayed. They climbed the steep ascent of heaven Through peril, toil, and pain: O God, to us may grace be given To follow in their train! Amen. Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS NEW
