King of saints, to Whom the number

Author: John Ellerton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 22 hymnals Tune Title: IONA Lyrics: King of saints, to whom the number Of thy starry host is known, Many a name, by man forgotten, Lives for ever round thy throne: Lights, which earth-born mists have darkened, There are shining full and clear, Princes in the court of heaven, Nameless, unremembered here. In the roll of thine apostles One there stands, Bartholomew, He for whom today we offer, Year by year, our praises due: How he toiled for thee and suffered None on earth can now record; All his saintly life is hidden In the knowledge of his Lord; None can tell us: all is written In the Lamb's great book of life, All the faith, and prayer, and patience All the toiling, and the strife: 264 There are told thy hidden treasures: Number us, O Lord, with them, When thou makest up the jewels Of thy living diadem. Amen. Topics: Holy Days St. Bartholomew Used With Tune: IONA

Saviour, sprinkle many nations

Author: Arthur Cleveland Coxe Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 160 hymnals Tune Title: IONA Lyrics: Savior, sprinkle many nations; Fruitful let thy sorrows be; By thy pains and consolations Draw the Gentiles unto thee! Of thy cross the wondrous story, Be it to the nations told; Let them see thee in thy glory And thy mercy manifold. Far and wide, though all unknowing, Pants for thee each mortal breast, Human tears for thee are flowing, Human hearts in thee would rest. Thirsting as for dews of even, As the new-mown grass for rain, Thee they seek as God of heaven, Thee as Man for sinners slain. Savior, lo! the isles are waiting! Stretched the hand and strained the sight, For thy Spirit, new creating, Love's pure flame, and wisdom's light. Give the word, and of the preacher Speed the foot and touch the tongue, Till on earth by every creature Glory to the Lamb be sung! Amen.

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 134 hymnals Tune Title: IONA First Line: Heav'nly Father, send Thy blessing Lyrics: 1. Heav’nly Father, send Thy blessing On Thy children gathered here, May they all, Thy name confessing, Be to Thee forever dear; May they be, like Joseph, loving, Dutiful, and chaste, and pure; And their faith, like David, proving, Steadfast unto death endure. 2. Holy Savior, who in meekness Didst vouchsafe a child to be, Guide their steps, and help their weakness, Bless and make them like to Thee; Bear Thy lambs, when they are weary, In Thine arms and at Thy breast; Through life’s desert, dry and dreary, Bring them to Thy heav’nly rest. 3. Spread Thy golden pinions o’er them, Holy Spirit, from above, Guide them, lead them, go before them, Give them peace, and joy, and love; Thy true temples, Holy Spirit, May they with Thy glory shine, And immortal bliss inherit, And forevermore be Thine.
