Lord God of Hosts, whose purpose, never swerving
Author: Rev. Shepherd Knapp Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord God of Hosts, whose purpose, never swerving,
Leads toward the day of Jesus Christ Thy Son,
Grant us to march among Thy faithful legions,
Armed with Thy courage, till the world is won.
2 Strong Son of God, whose work was His that sent Thee,
One with the Father, thought and deed and word,
One make us all, true comrades in Thy service,
And make us one in Thee with God the Lord.
3 O Prince of Peace, Thou bringer of good tidings,
Teach us to speak Thy word of hope and cheer—
Rest for the soul, and strength for all man's striving,
Light for the path of life, and God brought near.
4 Lord God, whose grace has called us to Thy service,
How good Thy thoughts toward us, how great their sum!
We work with Thee, we go where Thou wilt lead us,
Until in all the earth Thy Kingdom come.

May the words of my mouth
I heard a sound of voices
Author: Rev. Godfrey Thring Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I heard a sound of voices
Around the great white throne,
With harpers harping on their harps
To Him that sat thereon:
"Salvation, glory, honor,"
I heard the song arise,
As through the courts of heaven it rolled
In wondrous harmonies.
2 From every clime and kindred,
And nations from afar,
As serried ranks returning home
In triumph from a war,
I heard the saints upraising,
The myriad hosts among,
In praise of Him who died, and lives,
Their one glad triumph song.
3 O Lamb of God Who reignest,
Thou Bright and Morning Star,
Whose glory lightens that new earth
Which now we see from far;
O worthy Judge Eternal,
When Thou dost bid us come,
Then open wide the gates of pearl,
And call Thy servants home.
Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting ; All Saints' Day; Eternal Life; Funeral Services; Heaven; Immortal Life; Processionals; Saints, Communion of Used With Tune: PATMOS
I heard a sound of voices
The fathers built this city
Author: Rev. William George Tarrant Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Appears in 42 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The fathers built this city
In ages long ago,
And, busy in its busy streets,
They hurried to and fro;
The children played around them
And sang the songs of yore,
Till, one by one, they fell asleep,
To work and play no more.
2 Yet still the city standeth,
A hive of toiling men,
And mother’s love makes happy home
For children now as then;
O God of ages, help us,
Such citizens to be,
That children’s children here may sing
The songs of liberty!
3 Let all the people praise Thee,
Give all Thy saving health,
Or vain the laborer’s strong right arm
And vain the merchant’s wealth;
Send forth Thy light to stablish
The glory of the Word,
Until this city is become
The city of the Lord!
Amen. Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth The City; City, The; Service Used With Tune: PATMOS
The fathers built this city
Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace
Author: William Henry Burleigh Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 155 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace:
Without Thy guiding hand we go astray,
And doubts appall, and sorrows still increase;
Lead us through Christ, the true and living Way.
2 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of truth:
Unhelped by Thee, in error's maze we grope,
While passion stains and folly dims our youth,
And age comes on uncheered by faith or hope.
3 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of right:
Blindly we stumble when we walk alone,
Involved in shadows of a darkening night;
Only with Thee we journey safely on.
4 Lead us, O Father, to Thy heavenly rest,
However rough and steep the pathway be,
Through joy or sorrow, as Thou deemest best,
Until our lives are perfected in Thee.

Ever in Thine own sweet way;
Teach me to be pure and true;
Show me what I ought to do.
2 When in danger, make me brave,
Make me know that Thou canst save;
Keep me safe by Thy dear side;
Let me in Thy love abide.
3 When I'm tempted to do wrong,
Make me steadfast, wise, and strong;
And when all alone I stand,
Shield me with Thy mighty hand.
4 When my heart is full of glee,
Help me to remember Thee,
Happy most of all to know
That my Father loves me so.
5 May I do the good I know,
Serving gladly here below,
Then at last go home to Thee,
Evermore Thine own to be.

How glorious Zion's courts appear

No power shall e’er o’erthrow,
Salvation is its bulwark sure
Against th’ assailing foe.

The doors wide open fling!
Enter, ye nations, who obey
The statutes of our King.

And banish all your fears;
Strength In the Lord Jehovah dwells
Eternal as His years.

Of our salvation praise.

With praise, and thankful voice;
Let us sing psalms to Him with grace,
And make a joyful noise.

Above all gods He is.
The depths of earth are in His hand,
The heights of hills are His.
4 To Him the spacious sea belongs,
For He the same did make;
The dry land also from His hands
Its form at first did take.

Let us bow down withal,
And on our knees before the Lord,
Our Maker, let us fall.
