The ancient law departs
Author: Bernault Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 45 hymnals Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts The Circumcision Lyrics: 1 The ancient law departs
And all its terrors cease;
For Jesus makes with faithful hearts
A covenant of peace.
2 The Light of Light divine,
True Brightness undefiled,
He bears for us the shame of sin,
A holy, spotless Child.
3 Today the Name is Thine,
At which we bend the knee;
They call Thee Jesus, Child divine!
Our Jesus deign to be.
Amen. Used With Tune: ST. MICHAEL Text Sources: Tr. Compilers Hys. A. & M.

The Son of God goes forth to war
Behold, the Master passeth by!
Author: W. W. How Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 52 hymnals Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts St. Matthew Lyrics: 1 Behold, the Master passeth by!
Oh, seest thou not His pleading eye?
With low sad voice He calleth thee,
"Leave this vain world, and follow Me."
2 O soul, bound down with harrowing care,
Hast thou no thought for heaven to spare?
From earthly toils lift up thine eye;
Behold, the Master passeth by!
3 One heard Him calling long ago,
And straightway left all things below,
Counting his earthly gain as loss
For Jesus and His blessèd cross.
4 That "follow Me" his faithful ear
Seemed every day afresh to hear;
Its echoes stirred his spirit still,
And fired his hope, and nerved his will.
5 God gently calls us every day:
Why should we then our bliss delay?
He calls to heaven and endless light:
Why should we love the dreary night?
6 Praise, Lord, to Thee, for Matthew's call,
At which he rose and left his all:
Thou, Lord, e'en now art calling me;
I will leave all, and follow Thee.
Amen. Used With Tune: ANGELUS

Jerusalem, the golden
Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult
Author: C. F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 955 hymnals Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts St. Andrew Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult
Of our life's wild, restless sea,
Day by day His sweet voice soundeth,
Saying, "Christian, follow Me;"
2 As of old, Saint Andrew heard it
By the Galilean lake,
Turned from home, and toil, and kindred,
Leaving all for His dear sake.
3 Jesus calls us from the worship
Of the vain world's golden store;
From each idol that would keep us,
Saying, "Christian, love Me more."
4 In our joys and in our sorrows,
Days of toil and hours of ease,
Still He calls, in cares and pleasures,
"That we love Him more than these."
5 Jesus calls us: by Thy mercies,
Saviour, may we hear Thy call,
Give our hearts to Thine obedience,
Serve and love Thee best of all.
Amen. Used With Tune: GALILEE
Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult
For all Thy saints, O Lord
Author: R. Mant Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 160 hymnals Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts Lyrics: 1 For all Thy saints, O Lord,
Who strove in Thee to live,
Who followed Thee, obeyed, adored,
Our grateful hymn receive.
2 For Thy dear saints, O Lord,
Who strove in Thee to die,
Who counted Thee their great reward,
Accept our thankful cry.
3 Thine earthly members fit
To join Thy saints above,
In one communion ever knit,
One fellowship of love.
4 Jesus, Thy Name we bless
And humbly pray that we
May follow them in holiness
Who lived and died for Thee.
Amen. Used With Tune: DONCASTER

Ten thousand times ten thousand
Author: H. Alford Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Appears in 439 hymnals Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts Lyrics: 1 Ten thousand times ten thousand
In sparkling raiment bright,
The armies of the ransomed saints
Throng up the steeps of light:
'Tis finished! all is finished,
Their fight with death and sin:
Fling open wide the golden gates,
And let the victors in.
2 What rush of alleluias
Fills all the earth and sky!
What ringing of a thousand harps
Bespeaks the triumph nigh!
O day, for which creation
And all its tribes were made!
O joy, for all its former woes
A thousand-fold repaid!
3 OH, then what raptured greetings
On Canaan's happy shore!
What knitting severed friendships up,
Where partings are no more!
Then eyes with joy shall sparkle,
That brimmed with tears of late;
Orphans no longer fatherless,
Nor widows desolate.
4 Bring near Thy great salvation,
Thou Lamb for sinners slain;
Fill up the roll of Thine elect,
Then take Thy power and reign!
Appear, Desire of nations!
Thine exiles long for home:
Show in the heavens Thy promised sign!
Thou Prince and Saviour, come!
Amen. Used With Tune: ALFORD
