King of saints, to Whom the number

Author: Rev. J. Ellerton Meter: 8.7 D Appears in 22 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 King of saints, to Whom the number Of Thy starry host is known, Many a name, by man forgotten, Lives for ever round Thy throne: Lights, which earth-born mists have darkened, There are shining full and clear, Princes in the court of heaven, Nameless, unremembered here. 2 In the roll of Thine apostles One there stands, Bartholomew, He for whom to-day we offer, Year by year, our praises due: How he toiled for Thee and suffered None on earth can now record; All his saintly life is hidden In the knowledge of his Lord; 3 None can tell us: all is written In the Lamb's great book of life, All the faith, and prayer, and patience All the toiling, and the strife: There are told Thy hidden treasures: Number us, O Lord, with them, When Thou makest up the jewels Of Thy living diadem. Amen. Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts St. Bartholomew; Associations or Guilds Used With Tune: [King of saints, to Whom the number]

Lord, her watch Thy Church is keeping

Author: Rev. H. Downton Meter: 8.7 D Appears in 55 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Lord, her watch Thy Church is keeping: When shall earth Thy rule obey? When shall end the night of weeping? When shall break the promised day? See the whitening harvest languish, Waiting still the laborers' toil; Was it vain, Thy Son's deep anguish? Shall the Strong retain the spoil? 2 Tidings, sent to every creature, Millions yet have never heard: Can they hear without a preacher? Lord almighty, give the word! Give the word! in every nation Let the gospel trumpet sound, Witnessing a world's salvation, To the earth's remotest bound. 3 Then the end! Thy Church completed, All Thy chosen gathered in, With their King in glory seated, Satan bound, and banished sin; Gone for ever parting, weeping, Hunger, sorrow, death, and pain; Lo! her watch Thy Church is keeping; Come, Lord Jesus, come to reign! Amen. Topics: Intercession for the Church Used With Tune: [Lord, her watch Thy Church is keeping]
