For all the saints who from their labors rest
Author: William Walsham How, 1823-97 Meter: 10.10.10 with alleluias Appears in 567 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:18-19 Lyrics: 1 For all the saints who from their labors rest,
who to the world their Lord by faith confessed,
your name, O Jesus, be for ever blessed.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
2 You were their rock, their fortress and their might,
you were their captain in the well fought fight;
in deepest darkness still their one true light.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
3 So may your servants, faithful, true, and bold,
fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,
and win, with them, the victor's crown of gold.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
4 O blest communion, fellowship divine!
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine,
all yours, all joined in unity divine.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
5 And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long,
steals on the ear the distant triumph song,
and hearts are brave again, and arms are strong.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
6 The golden evening brightens in the west;
soon, soon to faithful warriors comes their rest,
the peaceful calm of paradise the blest.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
7 But see, there breaks a yet more glorious day;
the saints triumphant rise in bright array;
the King of glory calls passes on his way.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
8 From earth's wide bounds and ocean's farthest shore,
through heaven's gate the holy people pour;
the Three-in-One for ever they adore.

Lord Christ, at your first eucharist you prayed
Author: William Henry Turton, 1856-1938 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 76 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:1-6 Lyrics: 1 Lord Christ, at your first eucharist you prayed
that all your church might be for ever one;
may at each eucharist this prayer be made
with longing heart and soul, 'Your will be done.'
O may we all one bread, one body be,
through this blest sacrament of unity.
2 For all your church, O Lord, we intercede;
make all our sad divisions soon to cease;
draw us the nearer each to each, we plead,
by drawing all to you, O Prince of Peace:
thus may we all one bread, one body be,
through this blest sacrament of unity.
3 We also pray for wanderers from your fold;
O bring them back, Good Shepherd of the sheep,
back to the faith which saints believed of old,
back to your church which still that faith must keep:
soon may we all one bread, one body be,
through this blest sacrament of unity.
4 So, Lord, at length when sacraments shall cease
may we be one with all your church above,
one with your saints in one unbroken peace,
one with your saints in one unbounded love;
more blessèd still, in peace and love to be
one with the Trinity in Unity. Topics: Church; Communion of Saints; Intercession of the Church; Reconciliation; Saints Days and Holy Days St John the Evangelist; Unity of the Church; Worship Earthly and Heavenly Used With Tune: SONG 1

Spirit of God, Who Dwells within My Heart
Author: George Croly Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 340 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:16 Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, who dwells within my heart,
wean it from sin, through all its pulses move.
Stoop to my weakness, mighty as you are,
and make me love you 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 Did you not bid us love you, God and King,
love you with all our heart and strength and mind?
I see the cross– there teach my heart to cling.
O let me seek you and O let me find!
4 Teach me to feel that you are always nigh;
teach me the struggles of the soul to bear,
to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh;
teach me the patience of unceasing prayer.
5 Teach me to love you as your angels love,
one holy passion filling all my frame:
the fullness of the heaven-descended Dove;
my heart an altar, and your love the flame.
