For all the saints who from their labors rest
Author: William Walsham How, 1823-97 Meter: 10.10.10 with alleluias Appears in 570 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 341 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.

this is the heavenly table for us spread.
Here let us feast and, feasting, still prolong
the fellowship of living wine and bread.

the bread and wine remove, but you are here,
nearer than ever, still our shield and sun.

giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy,

O worship the King all-glorious above
Author: Robert Grant, 1779-1838 Meter: 5.5.5.5.6.5.6.5 Appears in 1,142 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:18-19 Lyrics: 1 O worship the King all-glorious above,
O gratefully sing his power and his love:
our shield and defender, the ancient of days,
pavilioned in splendour, and girded with praise.
2 O tell of his might, O sing of his grace,
whose robe is the light, whose canopy space;
his chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form,
and dark is his path on the wings of the storm.
3 The earth with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, your power has founded of old,
established it fast by a changeless decree,
and round it has cast, like a mantle, the sea.
4 Your bountiful care what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light,
it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
and sweetly distils in the dew and the rain.
5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
in you do we trust, nor find you to fail:
your mercies how tender, how firm to the end,
Our maker, defender, redeemer and friend.
6 O measureless might, ineffable love.
While angels delight to hymn you above,
the humbler creation, though faltering their praise,
With true adoration shall sing all their days.

At the Name of Jesus
Author: Caroline Maria Noel, 1817-1877 Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 253 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:17 Lyrics: 1 At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow,
every tongue confess him King of glory now.
'Tis the Father's pleasure we should call him Lord,
who from the beginning was the mighty Word.
2 Humbled for a season to receive a name
from the lips of sinners unto whom he came.
Faithfully he bore it, spotless to the last,
brought it back victorious when from death he passed.
3 In your hearts enthrone him, there let him subdue
all that is not holy, all that is not true.
Crown him as your sovereign in temptation's hour,
let his will enfold you in its mighty power.
4 Christians, this Lord Jesus shall return again
with the Father's glory, when he comes to reign.
For all earthly powers soon to him must bow,
so let us confess him King of glory now. Topics: Adoration Used With Tune: KING'S WESTON

Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior divine.
Now hear me while I pray;
Take all my guilt away;
Oh, 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,
Oh, 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 ends life's transient dream,
When death's cold, sullen stream
Shall o'er me roll,
Blest Savior, then, in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
Oh, bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul!
Amen. Topics: Sanctification (The Christian Life) Consecration Used With Tune: OLIVET
