For All the Saints
Author: William Walsham How Meter: 10.10.10 with alleluias Appears in 570 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-2 First Line: For all the saints who from their labors rest Lyrics: 1 For all the saints who from their labors rest,
who to the world by faith their Lord confessed,
your name, O Jesus, be forever blest.
Alleluia, alleluia!
2 You were their rock, their fortress, and their might;
you, Lord, their captain in the well-fought fight,
and in the darkness drear, their one true light.
Alleluia, alleluia!
3 May all your soldiers, faithful, true, and bold,
fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,
and win with them the victor's crown of gold.
Alleluia, alleluia!
4 O blest communion, fellowship divine!
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
yet all are one within your great design.
Alleluia, alleluia!
5 And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long,
far off we hear the distant triumph song;
and hearts are brave again, and arms are strong.
Alleluia, alleluia!
6 But then there breaks a yet more glorious day:
the saints triumphant rise in bright array;
the King of glory passes on his way.
Alleluia, alleluia!
7 From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast,
through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,
singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost:
Alleluia, alleluia!

My Faith Looks Up to Thee
Author: Ray Palmer Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 2,205 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-2 Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to thee,
thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
take all my guilt away.
O let me from this day
be wholly thine!
2 May thy rich grace impart
strength to my fainting heart,
my zeal inspire.
As thou hast died for me,
O may my love to thee
pure, warm, and changeless be,
a living fire!
3 While life's dark maze I tread
and griefs around me spread,
be thou my guide.
Bid darkness turn to day,
wipe sorrow's tears away,
nor let me ever stray
from thee aside.
4 When life's swift race is run,
death's cold work almost done,
be near to me.
Blest Savior, then in love
fear and distrust remove.
O bear me safe above,
redeemed and free!

that calls you from on high;
'tis his own hand presents the prize
to your aspiring eye,

which shall new luster boast,
when victors' wreaths and monarchs' gems
shall blend in common dust,
shall blend in common dust.
5 Blest Savior, introduced by you,
have I my race begun;
and, crowned with vict'ry, at your feet
I'll lay my honors down,
I'll lay my honors down.

"Take Up Thy Cross," the Savior Said
Author: C. W. Everest Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 297 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:2 Lyrics: 1 “Take up thy cross,” the Savior said,
“If thou wouldst my disciple be,
take up thy cross with willing heart
and humbly follow after me.”
2 Take up thy cross, let not its weight
fill thy weak spirit with alarm;
his strength shall bear thy spirit up,
and brace thy heart, and nerve thine arm.
3 Take up thy cross, nor heed the shame,
and let thy foolish pride be still;
the Lord refused not e'en to die
upon a cross, on Calv'ry's hill.
4 Take up thy cross and follow Christ,
nor think till death to lay it down,
for only they who bear the cross
may hope to win the glorious crown.

Hymn 152
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 186 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:18 First Line: Not to the terrors of the Lord Lyrics:
Not to the terrors of the Lord,
The tempest, fire, and smoke;
Not to the thunder of that word
Which God on Sinai spoke;
But we are come to Zion's hill,
The city of our God,
Where milder words declare his will,
And spread his love abroad.
Behold th' innumerable host
Of angels clothed in light!
Behold the spirits of the just,
Whose faith is turned to sight!
Behold the blest assembly there
Whose names are writ in heav'n!
And God, the Judge of all, declares
Their vilest sins forgiv'n.
The saints on earth and all the dead
But one communion make;
All join in Christ their living Head,
And of his grace partake.
In such society as this
My weary soul would rest;
The man that dwells where Jesus is
Must be for ever blest.

Take Time to Be Holy
Author: William D. Longstaff Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 306 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:2 Lyrics: 1 Take time to be holy,
speak oft with thy Lord;
abide in him always,
and feed on his Word.
Make friends of God's children;
help those who are weak,
forgetting in nothing
his blessing to seek.
2 Take time to be holy,
the world rushes on;
spend much time in secret
with Jesus alone;
by looking to Jesus,
like him thou shalt be;
thy friends in thy conduct
his likeness shall see.
3 Take time to be holy,
let him be thy guide,
and run not before him,
whatever betide;
in joy or in sorrow
still follow thy Lord,
and, looking to Jesus,
still trust in his Word.
4 Take time to be holy,
be calm in thy soul,
each thought and each motive
beneath his control;
thus led by his Spirit
to fountains of love,
thou soon shalt be fitted
for service above.
