thy Name with the Father and Spirit be ever adored.
From strength unto strength we go forward on Zion's highway,
to appear before God in the city of infinite day.
2 Thanksgiving and glory and worship and blessing and love,
one heart and one song have the saints upon earth and above.
O Lord, evermore to thy servants thy presence be nigh;
ever fit us by service on earth for thy service on high. Topics: Ash Wednesday; Communion of Saints; Lent (first Sunday); Praise of God Used With Tune: SHEEN Text Sources: The Liturgy of St. James
