Let the round world with songs rejoice

Author: Richard Mant, 1776-1848 Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holidays: General Lyrics: 1 Let the round world with songs rejoice, Let heaven return the joyful voice, All mindful of the Apostles’ fame, Let heaven and earth their praise proclaim. 2 Ye servants who once bore the light Of gospel truth o’er heathen night, Still may your work that light impart, To glad our eyes and cheer our heart. 3 O God, by whom to them was given The key that shuts and opens heaven, Our chains unbind, our loss repair, And grant us grace to enter there. 4 For at thy will they preached the word Which cured disease, which health conferred; O may thy healing power once more Our souls to grace and health restore. 5 That when as judge thy Son shall come To bring his ransomed people home, He may with them pronounce us blest, And place us in thine endless rest. 6 To God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit, Three in One, Be honour, praise and majesty, Now and throughout eternity. Amen. Used With Tune: EXULTET CAELUM LAUDIBUS Text Sources: Latin, c. 10th century

Now Sing we a Song for the Harvest

Appears in 41 hymnals Topics: Church Festivals Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 Now sing we a song for the harvest, Thanksgiving and honor and praise, For all that the bountiful Giver Hath given to gladden our days: 2 For grasses of upland and lowland, For fruits of the garden and field, For gold which the mine and the prairie To delver and husband-man yield. 3 And thanks for the harvest of beauty, For that which the hands cannot hold, The harvest eyes only can gather, And only our hearts can enfold: 4 We reap it on mountain and moorland, We glean it from meadow and lea, We garner it in from the cloud-land, We bind it in sheaves from the sea. 5 But now we sing deeper and higher, Of harvests that eye cannot see; They ripen on mountains of duty Are reaped by the brave and the free. 6 O Thou who art Lord of the harvest, The Giver who gladdens our days, Our hearts are forever repeating Thanksgiving and honor, and praise.

Year by year, from past to future

Author: Alan Luff (b. 1928) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Other Saints and Festivals Thomas the Apostle Lyrics: 1 Year by year, from past to future worship marks our upward climb, sets the rhythm of our journey to eternity through time: though the outward things diminish we are held more firm by grace, following God's heavenward calling and the everlasting prize. 2 As we seek to weave life's fabric on the lengthening loom of days, may Christ guide the threads that form it, be the pattern it displays; may the Father, master craftsman, sorrowing over each mistake, plan for us a new perfection from the ugliness we make. 3 Though we long for the adventure of the mystery of bliss, to the pilgrim's eyes the pathway breaks, and ends in death's abyss; but within the dark are waiting hands that bear the print of nails, which will hold us safe and bear us where the worship never fails.
