Sweet Saviour, bless us ere we go

Author: F. W. Faber Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 337 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sweet Saviour, bless us ere we go: Thy word into our minds instil; And make our lukewarm hearts to glow With lowly love and fervent will. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesu, be our light. 2 The day is gone, its hours have run, And Thou hast taken count of all, The scanty triumphs grace hath won, The broken vow, the frequent fall. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesu, be our light. 3 Grant us, dear Lord, from evil ways True absolution and release; And bless us, more than in past days, With purity and inward peace. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesu, be our light. 4 For all we love, the poor, the sad, The sinful, unto Thee we call; Oh, let Thy mercy make us glad; Thou art our Saviour, and our all. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesu, be our light. 5 Sweet Saviour, bless us; night is come; Through night and darkness near us be; Good angels watch about our home, And we are one day nearer Thee. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesu, be our light. Amen. Topics: Daily Prayer Evening Used With Tune: ST. MATTHIAS

Hark! the sound of holy voices

Author: C. Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 236 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! the sound of holy voices, Chanting at the crystal sea, Alleluia, alleluia, Alleluia, Lord, to Thee; Multitude which none can number, Like the stars in glory stands, Clothed in white apparel, holding Palms of victory in their hands. 2 Patriarch, and holy prophet. Who prepared the way for Christ, King, apostle, saint, confessor, Martyr and evangelist; Saintly maiden, golden matron, Widows who have watched to prayer, Joined in holy concert, singing, To the Lord of all, are there. 3 Marching with Thy cross their banner, They have triumphed, following Thee, the Captain of salvation, Thee, their Saviour and their King; Gladly, Lord, with Thee they suffered; Gladly, Lord, with Thee they died; And by death to life immortal They were born and glorified. 4 Now they reign in heavenly glory, Now they walk in golden light, Now they drink, as from a river, Holy bliss and infinite: Love and peace they taste for ever, And all truth and knowledge see In the beatific vision Of the blessèd Trinity. Amen. Topics: All Saints; All Saints; Burial of the Dead; Church At Rest; Other Feasts and Fasts; Processionals General Used With Tune: SANCTUARY

The day of resurrection!

Author: J. M. Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 520 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The day of resurrection! Earth, tell it out abroad; The Passover of gladness, The Passover of God. From death to life eternal, From earth unto the sky, Our Christ hath brought us over With hymns of victory. 2 Our hearts be pure from evil, That we may see aright The Lord in rays eternal Of resurrection-light; And, listening to His accents, May hear so calm and plain His own "All hail," and hearing, May raise the victor strain. 3 Now let the heavens be joyful, Let earth her song begin, The round world keep high triumph, And all that is therein; Let all things seen and unseen Their notes together blend, For Christ the Lord is risen, Our joy that hath no end. Amen. Topics: Eastertide; Processionals Eastertide Used With Tune: ALL HALLOW'S Text Sources: Greek

In token that thou shalt not fear

Author: H. Alford Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 63 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In token that thou shalt not fear Christ crucified to own, We print the cross upon thee here, And stamp thee His alone. 2 In token that thou shalt not blush To glory in His Name, We blazon here upon thy front His glory and His shame. 3 In token that thou too shalt tread The path He traveled by, Endure the cross, despise the shame, And sit thee down on high; 4 Thus outwardly and visibly We seal thee for His own: And may the brow that wears His cross Hereafter share His crown. Amen. Topics: Baptism Used With Tune: TALLIS'S ORDINAL

My God, and is Thy table spread

Author: P. Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 217 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God, and is Thy table spread? And does Thy cup with love o'erflow? Thither be all Thy children led, And let them Thy sweet mercies know. 2 Hail! sacred feast, which Jesus makes, Rich banquet of His flesh and blood! Thrice happy he who here partakes That sacred stream, that heavenly food. 3 Oh, let Thy table honored be, And furnished well with joyful guests; And may each soul salvation see That here its sacred pledges tastes. 4 Drawn by Thy quickening grace, O Lord, In countless numbers let them come; And gather from their Father's board The bread that lives beyond the tomb. 5 Nor let Thy spreading gospel rest, Till through the world Thy truth has run; Till with this bread all men be blest, Who see the light or feel the sun. Amen. Topics: Holy Communion Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM
