Holy Spirit, Ever Dwelling
Author: Timothy Rees Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Holy Spirit, ever dwelling
in the holiest realms of light;
Holy Spirit, ever brooding
o'er a world of gloom and night;
Holy Spirit, ever raising
those of earth to thrones on high;
living, life-imparting Spirit;
thee we praise and magnify.
2 Holy Spirit, ever breathing
on the church's the breath of life;
Holy Spirit, ever striving
through us in a ceaseless strife;
Holy Spirit, ever forming
in the church the mind of Christ:
thee we praise with endless worship,
for thy fruit and gifts un-priced.
3 Holy Spirit, ever working
through the church's ministry;
quick'ning, strength'ning, and absolving,
setting captive sinners free;
Holy Spirit, ever binding
age to age and soul to soul
in a fellowsip unending,
thee we worship and extol.

Hail, ye sighing sons of sorrow
Author: Anonymous Appears in 53 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Hail, ye sighing sons of sorrow,
View with me th’ autumnal gloom,
Learn from thence your fate tomorrow;
Dead perhaps, laid in the tomb.
See all nature fading, dying,
Silent, all things seem to mourn,
Life, from vegetation flying,
Brings to mind the mould’ring urn.
2. Oft when autumn’s tempest rising
Makes the lofty forest nod,
Scenes of nature how surprising:
Read in nature nature’s God.
See, the sov’reign, sole Creator
Lives eternal in the skies,
Whilst we mortals yield to nature,
Bloom awhile, then fade and die.
3. Lo! I hear the air resounding,
With expiring insects’ cries;
Ah! their moans to me how wounding,
Emblems of my age and sighs.
Hollow winds around me roaring,
Noisy waters round me rise,
Whilst I sit my fate deploring,
Tears fast streaming from my eyes.
4. What to me is autumn’s treasure,
Since I know no earthly joy?
Long I’ve lost all youthful pleasure,
Time must youth and health destroy.
Pleasures once I fondly courted,
Shared each bliss that health bestows,
But to see where then I sported
Now embitters all my woes.
5. Age and sorrow since have blasted
Ev’ry youthful, pleasing dream;
Quiv’ring age with youth contrasted,
O, how short their glories seem!
As the annual frosts are cropping
Leaves and tendrils from the trees,
So my friends are yearly dropping,
Through old age and dire disease.
6. Former friends, O, how I’ve sought them!
Just to cheer my drooping mind;
But they’re gone like leaves in autumn,
Driv’n before a dreary wind.
Spring and summer, fall and winter,
Each in swift succession roll,
So my friends in death do enter,
Bringing sadness to my soul.
7. Death has laid them down to slumber;
Solemn thought, to think that I
Soon must be one of that number!
Soon — ah, soon, with them to lie!
When a few more years are wasted,
When a few more scenes are o’er,
When a few more griefs are tasted,
I shall fall to rise no more.
8. Fast my sun of life declining,
Soon will set in endless night:
But my hope, pure and refining,
Rests in future life and light.
Cease this fearing, trembling, sighing,
Death will break the sudden gloom;
Soon my spirit, flutt’ring, flying,
Must be borne beyond the tomb. Used With Tune: HOLY MANNA Text Sources: Sung in Primitive Baptist churches

Blessed feasts of blessed martyrs
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Blessed feasts of blessed martyrs,
holy women, holy men,
with affection's recollections
greet we your return again.
Worthy deeds they wrought, and wonders,
worthy of the Name they bore;
we, with meetest praise and sweetest,
honor them for evermore.
2. Faith prevailing, hope unfailing,
loving Christ with single heart,
thus they, glorious and victorious,
bravely bore the martyr's part,
by contempt of every anguish,
by unyielding battle done;
victors at the last, they triumph,
with the host of angels one.
3. Therefore, ye that reign in glory,
fellow-heirs with Christ on high,
join to ours your supplication
when before him we draw nigh,
praying that, this life completed,
all its fleeting moments past,
by his grace we may be worthy
of eternal bliss at last.

Lord, we hear your word with gladness: you have
spoken—we rejoice:
words of love and life and freedom—help us make
their truth our choice!
Now in holy celebration for your Word we worship
you;
spoken, written, known in Jesus, ours today to
prove anew.

May we hear with understanding, by your Spirit
taught and led.
May the springs of all our being by your living Word
be fed.
May our hearts accept with meekness all the grace
your light makes known.
May obedience mark our footsteps till we make each
word our own.
3
You have spoken; yours the fullness, ours the
wealth of this your Word.
Debtors, then, as living letters we must make your
gospel heard!
By your Spirit’s power transform us; shed your
saving light abroad
till our lives by love in action show our world the
truth of God!
