The Heavenly Word Proceeding Forth

Author: Thomas Aquinas; John M. Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 20 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1. The heavenly Word proceeding forth, Yet leaving not the Father’s side, Accomplishing His work on earth Had reached at length life’s eventide. 2. By false disciple to be given To foemen for His life athirst Himself, the very Bread of Heav’n, He gave to His disciples first. 3. He gave Himself in either kind, His precious flesh, His precious blood, In love’s own fullness thus designed Of the whole man to be the Food. 4. By birth their fellow man was He; Their Meat, when sitting at the board; He died, their Ransomer to be; He ever reigns, their great Reward. Used With Tune: ST. VINCENT

High on His Everlasting Throne

High on His everlasting throne, The King of saints His work surveys; Marks the dear souls He calls His own, And smiles on the peculiar race. 2. He rests well pleased their toils to see; Beneath His easy yoke they move; With all their heart and strength agree In the sweet labor of His love. 3. See where the servants of their Lord, A busy multitude, appear; For Jesus day and night employed, His heritage they toil to clear. 4. Jesus their toil delighted sees, Their industry vouchsafes to crown; He kindly gives the wished increase, And sends the promised blessing down. 5. O multiply the sower’s seed, And fruit we every hour shall bear; Throughout the world Thy Gospel spread, Thine everlasting truth declare! Used With Tune: ST.

With all Thy saints, Thee, Lord, we sing; Praise, honor, thanks, to Thee we bring! 2 E’er since the world began to be, How many a heart hath longed for Thee! And Thou, O long-expected Guest, Hast come at last to make us blest! 3 Now art Thou here: we know Thee now: In lowly manger liest Thou: A Child, yet makest all things great; Poor, yet the earth Thy robe of state. 4 Now fearless I can look to Thee: From sin and grief Thou set'st me free: Thou bearest wrath, Thou conquerest death, Fear turns to joy Thy glance beneath. 5 Thou art my Head, my Lord divine: I am Thy member, wholly Thine; And by Thy Spirit’s strength would still Serve Thee according to Thy will. 6 Thus will I sing Thy praises here, With joyful spirit year by year: And they shall sound before Thy throne, Where time nor number more is known.
