When we at death must part, Not like the world's, our pain; But one in Christ, and one in heart, We part to meet again. From sorrow, toil, and pain, And sin, we shall be free; And perfect love and friendship reign Throughout eternity. Used With Tune: BOYLSTON

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 846 hymnals Topics: Brotherhood and Service Lyrics: Hail to the Lord's Anointed, Great David's greater Son! Hail, in the time appointed, His reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, To set the captive free; To take away transgression, And rule in equity. He comes with succour speedy To those who suffer wrong, To help the poor and needy, And bid the weak be strong; To give them songs for sighing, Their darkness turn to light, Whose souls, condemned and dying, Were precious in his sight. He shall come down like showers Upon the fruitful earth, And love, joy, hope, like flowers, Spring in his path to birth: Before him on the mountains Shall peace, the herald, go; And righteousness in fountains From hill to valley flow. Kings shall bow down before him. And gold and incense bring; All nations shall adore him, His praise all people sing; To him shall prayer unceasing And daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end. O'er every foe victorious, He on his throne shall rest; From age to age more glorious, All-blessing and all-blest: The tide of time shall never His covenant remove; His Name shall stand for ever, His changeless Name of Love.

Through the night of doubt and sorrow

Author: Bernhard S. Ingemann; Sabine Baring-Gould Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 319 hymnals Topics: Brotherhood and Service Lyrics: Through the night of doubt and sorrow Onward goes the pilgrim band, Singing songs of expectation, Marching to the promised land. Clear before us through the darkness Gleams and burns the guiding light: Brother clasps the hand of brother, Stepping fearless through the night. One, the light of God's own presence, O'er his ransomed people shed, Chasing far the gloom and terror, Brightening 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. One, the strain the 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. 500 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 scattering of all shadows, And the end of toil and gloom! Used With Tune: ST ASAPH Text Sources: Danish

The world's dark night is hastening on: Speed, speed thy work! cast sloth away! It is not thus that souls are won. 447 Toil on! faint not! keep watch, and pray! Be wise the erring soul to win! Go forth into the world's highway! Compel the wanderer to come in! Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice! For toil comes rest, for exile home; Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's voice, The midnight peal, "Behold, I come!" Used With Tune: ANGEL'S SONG

O God of truth, Whose living Word

Author: Thomas Hughes Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 75 hymnals Topics: Brotherhood and Service Lyrics: O God of truth, whose living Word Upholds whate'er hath breath, Look down on thy creation, Lord, Enslaved by sin and death. Set up thy standard, Lord, that we Who claim a heavenly birth May march with thee to smite the lies That vex thy groaning earth. Ah! would we join that blest array, And follow in the might Of him, the Faithful and the True, In raiment clean and white! We fight for truth, we fight for God, Poor slaves of lies and sin! He who would fight for thee on earth Must first be true within. Then, God of truth for whom we long, Thou who wilt hear our prayer, Do thine own battle in our hearts, And slay the falsehood there. Still smite, still burn, till naught is left But God's own truth and love; Then, Lord, as morning dew come down, Rest on us from above. 454 Yea, come; then, tried as in the fire, From every lie set free, Thy perfect truth shall dwell in us, And we shall live in thee.

Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? Sure I must fight if I would reign; Increase my courage, Lord; I'll bear the cross, endure the pain, Supported by thy word. Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer, though they die; They view the triumph from afar, And seize it with their eye. When that illustrious day shall rise, And all thy armies shine In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be thine. Amen. Used With Tune: MARLOW

Author: Emily V. Clark Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Brotherhood and Service Lyrics: O God of mercy! hearken now: Before thy throne we humbly bow; With heart and voice to thee we cry For all on earth who suffering lie. 458 We seek thee where thou dwell'st on high, Beyond the glittering, starry sky: We find thee where thou dwell'st below Beside the beds of want and woe. Be ours the hearts and hands to bless The sorrowing sons of wretchedness; Send thou the help we cannot give; Bid dying souls arise and live. O let the healing waters spring, Touched by thy pitying angel's wing; With quickening power new strength impart To palsied will, to withered heart. Where poverty in pain must lie, Where little suffering children cry, Bid us haste forth as called by thee, And in thy poor, thyself to see. Be thou, O God eternal, blest, Thy holy Name on earth confest! Echo thy praise from every shore For ever and for evermore. Amen. Used With Tune: HESPERUS
