Accept our evening prayer
Hymnal: Hymns of the Early Church #85 (1913) Meter: 6.6.8.6.8.8 Lyrics:
Accept our evening prayer,
O Holy Christ our Lord,
And grant forgiveness of our sin
According to Thy word,
Who, by Thy rising, hast revealed
A power that lay from man concealed.
Oh come, ye people, come,
Give praise to Christ your God;
The glory of His rising tell
To all the world abroad:
For He is God, whose power hath hurled
The great accuser from the world.
86
Encompass Zion round,
And in her midst proclaim
The glory of the Son of God,
Who back from bondage came;
Who burst the gates of death, to win
Our freedom from the yoke of sin.
Thy Passion, Lord, hath freed
Our souls from passion's reign;
Nor may we know corruption base,
Since Thou hast risen again;
Glory to Thee, O Christ the Lord,
Son of our God, Incarnate Word!

Wave, wave your banners high
Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: Hymns of the Russian Church #111a (1920) Meter: 6.6.8.6.8.8 Lyrics:
Wave, wave your banners high,
The day of strife is done,
On blood-red field the foemen lie,
And victory is won;
The march, the toil, the fight are o'er,
Now sheathe the sword for evermore.
Ah, long the strife endured,
And hard the foemen pressed,
But now the garland is secured,
And weary warriors rest;
Now hear your Captain's voice, "Well done,"
And take the prize your valour won.
O peace, when strife is past,
O rest, when toil is o'er,
O City of the King, at last,
And bliss for evermore;
Now to the footstool of the King,
Your spoils of war and triumphs bring.

Oh! Valiant-for-the-Truth
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #264 (1854) Meter: 6.6.8.6.8.8 Lyrics:
Oh! "Valiant-for-the-Truth!"
Hail from Thy battle-field,
A Christian warrior from thy youth,
Who never knew to yield;
The conquering armour here lay down,
For the white robe, the palm, the crown.
271
Where earth and hell combined
God's Image to defame,
In darkness hold the immortal mind,
In chains the mortal frame;
There didst thou choose thy stormy post,
Strong in the faith,--thyself a host.
Not without patient care,
Sore suffering, day-long toil,
And many a wrestling night of prayer,
Didst thou divide the spoil;
Then ransom'd slaves were made to be
Free from Man's yoke,--from Satan's free.
Now rest upon that bed,
Where once thy Captain lay,
And sanctified it for the dead
In Christ, till His great day;
When they, though worlds around them burn,
With songs to Zion shall return.
In that Jerusalem above,
Where all the saints shall meet;
Loved with an everlasting love,
Around their Saviour's feet!
Oh! there with thine our souls be found
In life's eternal bundle bound.

Friend after friend departs
Friend after friend departs:
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #338 (1854) Meter: 6.6.8.6.8.8 Lyrics:
Friend after friend departs:
Who hath not lost a friend?
There is no union here of hearts,
That finds not here an end:
Were this frail world our only rest,
Living or dying, none were blest.
Beyond the flight of time,
Beyond this vale of death,
There surely is some blessed clime,
Where life is not a breath;
Nor life's affections transient fire,
Whose sparks fly upward to expire!
There is a world above,
Where parting is unknown;
A whole eternity of love,
Form'd for the good alone;
And faith beholds the dying here,
Translated to that happier sphere.
Thus star by star declines,
Till all are pass'd away,
As morning high and higher shines
To pure and perfect day;
Nor sink those stars in empty night,--
They hide themselves in heaven's own light.

How Great Was Sodom's Sin
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16570 Meter: 6.6.8.6.8.8 First Line: How great was Sodom’s sin Lyrics:
1 How great was Sodom’s sin,
When God, so good and kind,
Must burn the place, and people, too,
Nor leave one thing behind!
O! how could Lot, who saw God’s grace,
Take part in such a wicked place?
2 But Abram was not there,
He loved the Lord too well;
He heard the God of glory call,
And there he would not dwell.
He trusted God—and God was more
To Abram than all Sodom’s store.
3 And when the dreadful day
Of Sodom’s judgment came,
And Lot, who "lingered" in the scene,
Was pulled from out the flame.
Then Abram stood with God apart,
And heard the secrets of His heart.
4 And you, my child, He calls
His glory home to share,
To know and follow Him while here,
And live with Him up there.
Hark! how he calls—O, linger not,
Nor love this wicked world like Lot.
5 O, listen to His voice,
And trust in His great love;
Down to your little heart it comes,
From His great heart above,
To make you free from all the sin,
And holy, happy, safe with Him.
