The Head That Once Was Crowned with Thorns

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 532 hymnals Topics: All Saints' Day Lyrics: 1 The Head that once was crowned with thorns Is crowned with glory now; A royal diadem adorns The mighty Victor's brow. 2 The highest place that heaven affords Is His, is His by right, The King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, And heaven's eternal Light: 3 The Joy of all who dwell above, The Joy of all below To whom He manifests His love, And grants His name to know. 4 To them the cross, with all its shame, With all its grace, is given; Their name an everlasting name, Their joy the joy of heaven. 5 They suffer with their Lord below, They reign with Him above; Their profit and their joy to know The wonder of His love. Amen. Scripture: Mark 15:17-18 Used With Tune: ST. MAGNUS

Crown with Your Richest Crowns

Author: Godfrey Thring; Matthew Bridges; Thomas H. Troeger Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 837 hymnals Topics: Year A All Saints Lyrics: 1 Crown with your richest crowns the Lamb upon the throne; Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own. Awake, my soul, and sing of Christ who died for you, And to your risen Savior bring your thanks for life made new. 2 Crown Christ whose love has flowed down hands and feet and side. Look past the peak of Calvary's road to Christ the glorified. The sun that lights the sky is pale before that sight. At prayer we glimpse then turn the eye from mysteries so bright. 3 Crown Christ the truth, the life who triumphed o’er the grave, And rose victorious in the strife, this fallen world to save. Christ's glories now we sing, Christ's name we magnify, Who died eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die. 4 Crown Christ who rules in peace, whose power a sceptre sways From pole to pole, that wars may cease, and all be prayer and praise: Christ's reign shall have no end, for 'round those wounded feet a fragrant garden shall extend forever green and sweet. 5 Crown Christ who holds the years, embracing space and time, Creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime: All hail, Redeemer, hail! For you have died for me; Your praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity. Scripture: Revelation 7:9-10 Used With Tune: DIADEMATA

Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: All Saints Lyrics: 1 Blessed feasts of blessed martyrs, Holy women, holy men, With the mem'ry of their witness Greet we your return again. Worthy deeds are theirs, and wonders, Worthy of the name they bore; We, our joyful praises singing, Honor them forevermore. 2 Faith prevailing, hope unfailing, Loving Christ with single heart, Thus they, glorious and victorious, Bravely bore the martyr's part, By contempt of ev'ry anguish, By unyielding battle done; Victors at the last, they triumph, With the host of angels one. 3 Therefore, you co-heirs of glory, All who dwell with Christ on high, Join to ours your supplication When before Christ we draw nigh, Praying that, this life completed, All its fleeting moments past, By his grace we may be worthy Of eternal bliss at last.

Jesu, din søde Forening at smage

Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: All Saints Day High Mass Lyrics: 1 Jesu, din søde Forening at smage Længes og trænges mit Hjerte og Sind; Riv mig fra alt det, mig holder tilbage, Drag mig i dig, min Begyndelse, ind! Viis mig ret klarlig min Jammer og Møie, Viis mig Fordærvelsens Afgrund i mig, At sig Naturen til Døden kan bøie, Aanden alene maa leve for dig! 2 Styrk mig ret kraftig i Sjælen derinde, At jeg kan finde, hvad Aanden formaar, Tag dig til Fange min Tale og Sinde, Leed mig og lok mig, saa svag som jeg gaar! Mig, og hvad mit er, jeg gjerne vil miste, Naar du alene i Sjælen maa bo, Og sig omsider paa Døren maa liste, Hvad som forstyrrer min inderlig' Ro. 3 O, hvo der kunde det Ene kun lære, Sig at opofre med Hjerte og Hu! O, maatte Jesus mit Alting kun være! Jeg er desværre, langt borte endnu; Jesu, som gav mig et hørende Øre, Ræk mig tillige din kraftige Haand, At jeg herefter min Vandring maa føre Ret som en Kristen i Helligheds Aand! 4 Hør dog, o Jesu, din kurrende Due, Hyrde, opsøg dit vildfarende Lam! Bær mig blandt Myrrha en lædskende Drue, Rense mit Hjerte fra Synd og fra Skam! Lad mig i Bogstavens Væsen ei blive, Som kun udvortes gjør ærbar og sin; Aanden lad Loven i Hjertet indskrive, At jeg i Sandhed maa kalde mig din! 5 Jesu, naar vil du dog skaffe mig Hvile? Byrden den trykker, ak, tag mig den af! Naar skal jeg se dig ret venlig at smile? Reis dig at true det brusende Hav! Kjærligste Jesu, du maa dig forbarme, Skjul dog det Aasyn ei evig for mig! Ædleste Rigdom for aandelig Arme, Fyld mit, det udtømte, Hjerte med dig! 6 Lad mig, o Jesu, forgjæves ei raabe, Se dog hvor Sjælen er hungrig og træt! Lad os, Immanuel, være tilhobe, Har jeg dig ene, saa bliver jeg mæt! Fordum du sagde: De maatte vansmægte, Dersom jeg lader dem hungrige gaa,– Evige Kjærlighed, kan du da nægte Sjæle, der hungre, en Smule at faa? 7 Naadigste Jesu, nu vil jeg mig binde Ved din den dyre Forjættelses Pagt: Beder og leder, saa faa I og finde! Saa har de sanddrue Læber jo sagt. Jeg vil med Kvinden af Kanaans Egne Raabe dig efter, og bliver ei stil, Før du paa Bønnen til Slutning maa tegne: Amen, ja Amen, dig ske, som du vil!

We come unto our fathers' God

Author: Thomas H. Gill Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 83 hymnals Topics: All Saints' Day Lyrics: 1 We come unto our fathers' God, Their Rock is our salvation; Th' eternal arms, their dear abode, We make our habitation. We bring Thee, Lord, the praise they brought, We seek Thee as Thy saints have sought In every generation. 2 Their joy unto their Lord we bring, Their song to us descendeth; The Spirit who in them did sing To us His music lendeth: His song in them, in us, is one; We raise it high, we send it on— The song that never endeth. 3 Ye saints to come, take up the strain, The same sweet theme endeavor; Unbroken be the golden chain! Keep on the song forever! Safe in the same dear dwelling place, Rich with the same eternal grace, Bless the same boundless Giver. Amen. Used With Tune: NUN FREUT EUCH

Eia, mit Hjerte inderlig

Author: Elle Andersdatter Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: All Saints Day Lyrics: 1 Eia, mit Hjerte inderlig Jubilerer, Med Lyst og Fryd saa glædelig Triumferer, Naar jeg betænker, At Dødens Lænker Brudte er, og Gud mig Livet skjænker Af Naade! 2 Som Fuglen ved den klare Dag Sig glæder, Gjør Sjælen uden al Aflad Og kvæder: Lov, Pris og Ære, O Jesus, kjære, Som for alle Kronen høit mon bære Med Ære! 3 Derpaa hver kristen Sjæl sit Mod Skal grunde, Den mindste af de Draaber Blod, Som runde Af Jesu Side Med Kval og Kvide, Alle Synder gjør som Sneen hvide Og rene. 4 Derfor alt Haab til Jesus Krist Jeg sætter, Og venter, han af Naade vist Udretter, At al Elende Faar en god Ende, Gud skal Graaden om til Glæde vende Ret snarlig. 5 Den Livsens Krone yndelig Med Ære Har Jesus Krist forhvervet mig At bære I Himmerige, Evindelige, Sorgen al for den maa ganske vige Tillige. 6 Saa hjertelig til denne Dag Mig glædes. Paa hvilken vi skal uden Klag Indledes Og blive viset I Paradiest, Der Guds Aasyn skue, evig priset Og lovet. 7 Der skulle bi staferes ud Og frydes Som Jesus Krist, vor Brugom prud, Og prydes Med Himmel-Smykke Og Gyldenstykke, Ingen skal den Glæde fra os rykke Og slukke. 8 Den Stad og Gader der af Guld Mon være, Af Ædelsten Grundvolden fuld Med Ære, Og dertil Klangen Af Engelsangen! Tusind Aar som Dag igaar er gangen For mangen. 9 Eia, lad skinne frem den Dag Med Fromme, Da alle Ting saa vel i Lag Skal komme! Vor Ve du vende, Vort Aag fraspende, Lad det tage en saa salig Ende, O Jesus! 10 Jeg redebon er, Jesus Krist, Og venter, Din Komme mig forløser vist, Og henter Fra Taaredalen, Fra Dødsens Kvalen Hjem til Himmerig, til Brudesalen I Glæden!
