All who by faith before the world confessed,
Your name, O Jesus, be forever blest.

You, Lord, their Captain in the well-fought fight;
You in the darkness drear, their one true light.

Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,
And win with them, the victor's crown of gold.

We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
Yet all are one within Your great design.

Steals on the ear the distant triumph song,
And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong.

Soon, soon to faithful warriors comes their rest;
Sweet is the calm of paradise the blest.

The saints triumphant rise in bright array;
The King of glory passes on His way.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

Author: William Harry Turton (1856-1938) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 76 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:20 Lyrics: 1 O thou, who at thy eucharist didst pray
that all thy Church might be for ever one,
grant us at every eucharist to say,
with longing heart and soul, 'Thy will be done.'
Oh, may we all one bread, one body be,
one through this sacrament of unity.
2 For all thy Church, O Lord, we intercede;
make thou our sad divisions soon to cease;
draw us the nearer each to each, we plead,
by drawing all to thee, O Prince of Peace;
thus may we all one bread, one body be,
one through this sacrament of unity.
3 We pray thee too for wanderers from thy fold;
O bring them back, good Shepherd of the sheep,
back to the faith which saints believed of old,
back to the Church which still that faith doth keep;
soon may we all one bread, one body be,
one through this sacrament of unity.
4 So, Lord, at length when sacraments shall cease,
may we be one with all thy Church above,
one with thy saints in one unbroken peace,
one with thy saints in one unbounded love:
more blessèd still, in peace and love to be
one with the Trinity in Unity. Topics: The Holy Spirit The Church Celebrates - Holy Communion; Church unity and ecumenism; Communion of Saints Used With Tune: SONG 1

Pray for the church afflicted and oppressed
Author: F. Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:3 Lyrics: 1 Pray for the church afflicted and oppressed,
for all who suffer for the gospel's sake,
that Christ may show us how to serve them best
in that one kingdom Satan cannot shake.
But how much more than us they have to give,
who by their dying show us how to live!
2 Pray for Christ's dissidents, who daily wait,
as Jesus waited in the olive grove,
the unjust trial, the pre-determined fate,
the world's contempt for reconciling love.
Shall all they won for us, at such a cost,
be by our negligence or weakness lost?
3 Pray that if times of testing should lay bare
what sort we are, who call ourselves his own,
we may be counted worthy then to wear,
with quiet fortitude, Christ's only crown:
the crown that in his saints he wears again
the crown of thorns that signifies his reign. Topics: Peace and Justice; Maundy Thursday Used With Tune: UNDE ET MEMORES

Spirit of God, descend upon my heart
Author: George Croly (1780-1860) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 341 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:2 Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart;
wean it from earth; through all its pulses move;
stoop to my weakness, mighty as thou art,
and make me love thee as I ought to love.
2 I ask no dream, no prophet-ecstasies,
no sudden rending of the veil of clay,
no angel-visitant, no opening skies:
but take the dimness of my soul away.
3 Hast thou not bid me love thee, God and King --
all, all thine own, soul, heart, and strength, and mind?
I see thy cross -- there teach my heart to cling:
oh, let me seek thee, and oh, let me find!
4 Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh:
teach me the struggles of the soul to bear,
to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh:
teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.
5 Teach me to love thee as thine angels love,
one holy passion filling all my frame --
the baptism of the heaven-descended Dove,
my heart an altar, and thy love the flame. Topics: Our Response to Christ In Penitence; The Holy Spirit The Coming of the Spirit; Holy Spirit illunination of; Patience; Prayer Used With Tune: SONG 22
Spirit of God, descend upon my heart
Abide with me: fast falls the eventide
Author: Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,674 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:6 Lyrics: 1 Abide with me: fast falls the eventide;
the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide:
when other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
help of the helpless, O abide with me.
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
change and decay in all around I see:
O thou who changest not, abide with me.
3 I need thy presence every passing hour;
what but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.
4 I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless;
ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness:
where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still if thou abide with me.
5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes,
shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies;
heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee:
in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Topics: Our Response to Christ In Devotion; Our Response to God in the morning and evening; The Church Celebrates Death and Grieving; Change; Death and Bereavement; God Faithfulness of; Jesus cross Used With Tune: EVENTIDE
