O Thou Eternal Christ of God

Author: Calvin W. Laufer Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Thou eternal Christ of God, ride on, ride on, ride on! Establish Thou forevermore the triumph now begun. A mighty host, by Thee redeemed, is marching in Thy train, Thine is the kingdom and the power, and Thou in love shalt reign. 2. O holy Savior of mankind, ride on, ride on, ride on! We bear with Thee the scourge and cross if so Thy will is done. And be the road uphill or down, unbroken or well trod, We go with Thee to claim and build a city unto God. 3. O Thou whose dreams enthrall the heart, ride on, ride on, ride on! Ride on till tyranny and greed are evermore undone. In mart and court and parliament the common good increase, Till men at last shall ring the bells of brotherhood and peace. 4. O Thou who art the life and light, exalted Lord and King, We hail Thine august majesty and loud hosanna sing, Until in every land and clime Thine ends of love are won: O Christ, Redeemer, brother, friend, ride on, ride on, ride on!

A city radiant as a bride

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A city radiant as a bride and bright with gold and gem, a crystal river clear and wide, the new Jerusalem; a city wrought of wealth untold, her jewelled walls aflame with green and amethyst and gold and colours one can name. 2 A holy city, clear as glass, where saints in glory dwell; through gates of pearl her people pass to fields of asphodel. In robes of splendour, pure and white, they walk the golden floor, where God himself shall be their light and night shall be no more. 3 A city ever new and fair, the Lamb's eternal bride; no suffering or grief is there and every tear is dried. There Christ prepares for us a place, from sin and death restored, and we shall stand before his face, the ransomed of the Lord.

We sing for all the unsung saints

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. b. 1944 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We sing for all the unsung saints, that countless, nameless throng, who kept the faith and passed it on with hope steadfast and strong, through all the daily griefs and joys no chronicles record, forgetful of their lack of fame, but mindful of their Lord. 2 Though uninscribed with date or place, with title, rank, or name, as living stones their stories join to form a hallowed frame around the mystery in their midst: the Lamb once sacrificed, the Love that wrested life from death, the wounded, risen Christ. 3 So we take heart from unknown saints bereft of earthly fame, those faithful ones who have received a more enduring name: for they reveal true blessing comes when we our pride efface and offer back our lives to be the vessels of God's grace.

Author: P. H. B. Lyon Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lift up your voice, ye Christian folk, To praise the Holy One, Who ransoms us from Satan’s yoke Through Christ, His blessed Son. Lo, we who were in grievous state By reason of our sin, Our heads look up, our fears abate, Our triumphs now begin. 2 The mists hung cold, the night was black, About the way we trod; Our feet were stumbling from the track Which leads the soul to God. But Christ, who broke from death’s dark shroud, Hath sent His quickening rays; The sun breaks through the drifting cloud, And now glorious day. Topics: Christ Praise of Used With Tune: LADYWELL
