And Your fullest benediction Shed within its walls alway. 3 Here bestow to all Your servants What they ask of You to gain, What they gain from You forever With the blessèd to retain, And hereafter in Your glory Evermore with You to reign. 4 Laud and honor to the Father, Laud and honor to the Son, Laud and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three and ever one; One in might and one in glory While unending ages run.

Through The Night Of Doubt And Sorrow

Author: B. S. Ingemann Appears in 317 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thro the night of doubt and sorrow Onward goes the pilgrim band, Singing songs of expectation, Marching to the Promised Land. Clear before us, thro the darkness, Gleams and burns the guiding light. Brother clasps the hand of brother, Stepping fearless through the night. 2 One the light of God’s own presence, O’er His ransomed people shed, Chasing far the gloom and terror, Bright'ning all the path we tread: One the object of our journey, One the faith which never tires, One the earnest looking forward, One the hope our God inspires. 3 One the strain that lips of thousands Lift as from the heart of one; One the conflict, one the peril, One the march in God begun: One the gladness of rejoicing On the far eternal shore, Where the One Almighty Father Reigns in love for evermore. 4 Onward therefore, pilgrim brothers? Onward, with the cross our aid! Bear its shame, and fight its battle, Till we rest beneath its shade! Soon shall come the great awaking, Soon, the rending of the tomb, Then the scatt'ring of all shadows, And the end of toil and gloom.

See the day of God appear. 4 Yea, Amen! let all adore Thee, High on Thine eternal throne; Savior, take the pow'r and glory, Claim the kingdom for Thine own: O, come quickly, O, come quickly!

Love Must Be Sincere And Honest

Author: Susan H. Peterson Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Love must be sincere and honest; Hate what’s evil, keep the good. Be devoted to each other; Honor them as Jesus would. Never lack in zeal or fervor; Serve the Lord with all your heart. 2 Patient, joyful, always faithful, In affliction, hope and prayer. Share with those who need assistance, Always ready your home to share. Bless all those who persecute you; Bless and do not curse their names. 3 Joy with those who are rejoicing; Weep with those who mourn their fate. Live in peace; be not conceited; Mingle with those of low estate. Never pay back wrong with evil, Do what’s right in all men’s eyes. 4 Live at peace with every person; Avenge not—God metes out wrath; Give your enemy food and water: He may change his wicked path; Don’t let evil triumph o’er you; Overcome each wrong with good.

See The Conqueror Mounts In Triumph

Author: Chr. Wordsworth Appears in 198 hymnals Lyrics: 1 See the Conqueror mounts in triumph; See the King in royal state Riding on the clouds, His chariot, To His heav'nly palace gate! Hark! the choirs of angel voices Joyful alleluias sing, And the portals high are lifted To receive their heav'nly King. 2 Who is this that comes in glory, With the trump of jubilee? Lord of battles, God of armies, He hath gained the victory; He who on the cross did suffer, He who from the grave arose, He has vanquish'd sin and Satan; He by death has spoil'd His foes. 3 While He raised His hands in blessing, He was parted from His friends, While their eager eyes behold Him, He upon the clouds ascends, He who walk'd with God and pleased Him, Preaching truth and doom to come, He, our Enoch, is translated, To His everlasting home. 4 Thou hast raised our human nature On the clouds to God's right hand; There we sit in heav'nly places, There with Thee in glory stand. Jesus reigns, adored by angels, Man with God is on the throne; Mighty Lord, in Thine ascension We by faith behold our own. Topics: Ascension Used With Tune: [See the Conqueror mounts in triumph]

O how glorious and resplendent, Fragile body, shalt thou be, When endued with so much beauty, Full of health, and strong, and free, Full of vigour, full of pleasure That shall last eternally! Now with gladness, now with courage, Bear the burden on thee laid, That hereafter these thy labours May with endless gifts be paid, And in everlasting glory Thou with brightness be arrayed. Laud and honor to the Father, Laud and honor to the Son, Laud and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three, and ever One, Consubstantial, Co-eternal, While unending ages run. Amen.

Author: Alexander V. Griswold Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 61 hymnals Lyrics: Holy Father, great Creator, Source of mercy, love, and peace, Look upon the Mediator, Clothe us with his righteousness; Heavenly Father, Through the Savior hear and bless. Holy Jesus, Lord of glory, Whom angelic hosts proclaim, While we hear thy wondrous story, Meet and worship in thy Name, Dear Redeemer, In our hearts thy peace proclaim. Holy Spirit, Sanctifier, Come with unction from above, Raise our hearts to raptures higher, Should threaten to undo us; We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us: The prince of darkness grim, We tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, For lo! his doom is sure, One little word shall fell him. That word above all earthly powers, No thanks to them, abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours Through him who with us sideth: Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill: God's truth abideth still, His kingdom is for ever.
