Sing we the song of those who stand Around th’eternal throne, Of every kindred, clime, and land, A multitude unknown. 2. Toil, trial, suffering, still await On earth the pilgrim throng, Yet learn we, in our low estate, The church triumphant’s song. 3. Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain, Cry the redeemed above, Blessing and honor to obtain, And everlasting love. 4. Worthy the Lamb! on earth we sing, Who died for souls to save; Henceforth, O death! where is thy sting? Thy victory, O grave? 5. Then, Alleluia! power and praise To God in Christ be given; May all who now this anthem raise Renew the strain in Heav’n! Used With Tune: NATIVITY

Workman of God! O Lose Not Heart

Author: Frederick W Faber Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 98 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Workman of God! O lose not heart, But learn what God is like; And in the darkest battlefield Thou shalt know where to strike. 2 Thrice blest is he to whom is given The instinct that can tell That God is on the field, when He Is most invisible. 3 Blest too is he who can divine Where real right doth lie, And dares to take the side that seems Wrong to man’s blindfold eye. 4 Then learn to scorn the praise of men, And learn to lose with God; For Jesus won the world through shame, And beckons thee His road. AMEN. Topics: Lay and Ordained Ministry Used With Tune: NATIVITY

Now from the altar of my heart

Author: John Mason Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 245 hymnals Lyrics: Now from the altar of my heart Let incense flames arise; Assist me, Lord, to offer up Mine evening sacrifice. Minutes and mercies multiplied Have made up all this day; Minutes came quick, but mercies were More fleet and free than they. New time, new favour, and new joys Do a new song require; Till I shall praise thee as I would, Accept my heart's desire. Amen. Topics: Evening Used With Tune: NATIVITY
