Alleluia! 4 Oh, blest communion, fellowship divine, We feebly struggle, they in glory shine; Yet all are one within your great design. Alleluia! Alleluia! 5 And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long, Steals on the ear the distant triumph song, And hearts are brave again and arms are strong. Alleluia! Alleluia! 6 The golden evening brightens in the west; Soon, soon to faithful warriors comes their rest; Sweet is the calm of paradise the blest. Alleluia! Alleluia! 7 But then there breaks a yet more glorious day: The saints triumphant rise in bright array; The King of glory passes on his way. Alleluia! Alleluia! 8 From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast, Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host, Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost: Alleluia! Alleluia!

Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake; All now mysterious shall be bright at last. Be still, my soul; the waves and winds still know His voice who ruled them while he dwelt below. 3 Be still, my soul; though dearest friends depart And all is darkened in the vale of tears; Then you will better know his love, his heart, Who comes to soothe your sorrows and your fears. Be still, my soul; your Jesus can repay From his own fullness all he takes away. 4 Be still, my soul; the hour is hast'ning on When we shall be forever with the Lord, When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone, Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored. Be still, my soul; when change and tears are past, All safe and blessed we shall meet at last. Topics: Spiritual Songs Languages: English Tune Title: FINLANDIA

Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: LW1982 #190 (1982) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Stars of the morning, so gloriously bright, Filled with celestial resplendence and light, These, where no darkness the glory can dim, Praise the Thrice Holy One, serving but him. 2 These are your ministers, these are your own, Lord God of Sabaoth, nearest your throne; These are your messengers, these whom you send, Helping your helpless ones, Helper and Friend. 3 Then, when the earth was first poised in mid-space, Then, when the planets first sped on their race, Then, when were ended the six days' employ, Then all the sons of God shouted for joy. 4 Still let them be with us, still let them fight, Lord of angelic hosts, battling for right, Till, where their anthems they ceaselessly pour, We with the angels may bow and adore.

Keep us from harm and danger till the dawn; Your evening presence promise to your own. 4 Grant us your peace throughout our earthly life, Our balm in sorrow and our stay in strife; Then, when your voice shall bid our conflict cease, Call us, O Lord, to your eternal peace.

O Lord, our hearts with grateful thanks endow As in this feast of love you bless us now. Topics: The Lord's Supper Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 124TH abbr.

Here, O My Lord, I See You Face to Face

Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-89 Hymnal: LW1982 #243 (1982) Meter: 10.10.10.10 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 would I feed upon the bread of God, Here drink with you the royal wine of heav'n; Here would I lay aside each earthly load, Here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiv'n. 3 This is the hour of banquet and of song; Here is the heav'nly table spread anew; Here let me feast and, feasting, still prolong The brief bright hour of fellowship with you. 4 I have no help but yours; nor do I need Another arm but yours to lean upon; It is enough, O Lord, enough indeed; My strength is in your might, your might alone. 5 Mine is the sin but yours the righteousness; Mine is the guilt but yours the cleansing blood; Here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace: Your blood, your righteousness, O Lord, my God. 6 Too soon we rise; the vessels 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. 7 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 marriage feast of bliss and love.

God of the Prophets, Bless the Prophets' Sons

Author: Denis Wortman, 1835-1922 Hymnal: LW1982 #258 (1982) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 God of the prophets, bless the prophets' sons; Elijah's mantle on Elisha cast. Each age its solemn task may claim but once; Make each one better, nobler than the last. 2 Anoint them prophets, men who are intent To hear and share your Word; their hearts awake To human need; their lips make eloquent To gird the right and ev'ry evil break. 3 Anoint them priests; strong intercessors, they, For pardon and for love and hope and peace. Oh, if with them the world might,now astray, Find, Lord, in you from all their woes release. 4 Make them apostles, heralds of your cross; Forth let them go to tell all lands your grace. By you inspired, they count all else but loss And stand at last with joy before your face. Topics: Ordination, Installation Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 124TH abbr.
