Sing with All the Saints in Glory

Author: William J. Irons Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 106 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Sing with all the saints in glory, sing the resurrection song! Death and sorrow, earth's dark story, to the former days belong. All around the clouds are breaking, soon the storms of time shall cease; in God's likeness we, awaking, know the everlasting peace. 2. O what glory, far exceeding all that eye has yet perceived! Holiest hearts, for ages pleading, never that full joy conceived. God has promised, Christ prepares it, there on high our welcome waits. Every humble spirit shares it; Christ has passed th'eternal gates. 3. Life eternal! heaven rejoices: Jesus lives, who once was dead. Join we now the deathless voices; child of God, lift up your head! Patriarchs from the distant ages, saints all longing for their heaven, prophets, psalmists, seers, and sages, all await the glory given. 4. Life eternal! O what wonders crowd on faith; what joy unknown, when, amidst earth's closing thunders, saints shall stand before the throne! O to enter that bright portal, see that glowing firmament; know, with thee, O God Immortal, "Jesus Christ whom thou has sent!"

In the desert all-surrounding, See, a spreading tree has grown. Healing leaves of grace abounding Bring a taste of love unknown. 2 Christ is risen! Raise your spirits From the caverns of despair. Walk with gladness in the morning. See what love can do and dare. Drink the wine of resurrection, Not a servant, but a friend. Jesus is our strong companion. Joy and peace shall never end. 3 Christ is risen! Earth and heaven Nevermore shall be the same. Break the bread of new creation Where the world is still in pain. Tell its grim, demonic chorus: "Christ is risen! Get you gone!" God the First and Last is with us. Sing Hosanna, everyone! Used With Tune: HYMN TO JOY

Lord, You Give the Great Commission

Author: Jeffery Rowthorn, b. 1934 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, you give the great commission: "Heal the sick and preach the word." Lest the Church neglect its mission, And the Gospel go unheard, Help us witness to your purpose With renewed integrity: With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us For the work of ministry. 2 Lord, you call us to your service: "In my name baptize and teach." That the world may trust your promise, Life abundant meant for each, Give us all new fervor, draw us Closer in community: With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us For the work of ministry. 3 Lord, you make the common holy: "This my body, this my blood." Let us all, for earth's true glory, Daily lift life heavenward, Asking that the world around us Share your children's liberty: With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us For the work of ministry. 4 Lord, you show us love's true measure: "Father, what they do, forgive." Yet we hoard as private treasure All that you so freely give. May your care and mercy lead us To a just society: With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us For the work of ministry. 5 Lord, you bless with words assuring: "I am with you to the end." Faith and hope and love restoring, May we serve as you intend, And, amid the cares that claim us, Hold in mind eternity: With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us For the work of ministry.
