Jesu, Son of Mary

Author: Edmond S. Palmer, 1856-1931 Meter: 6.5.6.5 Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: The Communion of Saints Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Son of Mary, fount of life alone, here we hail thee present on thine altar- throne. 2 Humbly we adore thee, Lord of endless might, in the mystic symbols veiled from earthly sight. 3 Think, O Lord, in mercy on the souls of those who, in faith gone from us, now in death repose. 4 Here 'mid stress and conflict toils can never cease; there, the warfare ended, bid them rest in peace. 5 Often were they wounded in the deadly strife; heal them, good Physician, with the balm of life. 6 Ev'ry taint of evil, frailty and decay, good and gracious Saviour, cleanse and purge away. 7 Rest eternal grant unto them, after weary fight; shed on them the radiance of thy heav'nly light. 8 Lead them onward, upward, to the holy place, where thy saints made perfect gaze upon thy face.

And are we yet alive

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 226 hymnals Topics: Communion Of Saints Lyrics: 1 And are we yet alive, And see each other's face? Glory and praise to Jesus give For His redeeming grace! 2 Preserved by power divine To full salvation here, Again in Jesus' praise we join, And in His sight appear. 3 What troubles have we seen, What conflicts have we past, Fightings without, and fears within, Since we assembled last! 4 But out of all the Lord Hath brought us by His love; And still He doth His help afford, And hides our life above. 5 Then let us make our boast Of His redeeming power, Which saves us to the uttermost, Till we can sin no more: 6 Let us take up the cross, Till we the crown obtain; And gladly reckon all things loss, So we may Jesus gain. Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE

Walford Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 1,383 hymnals Topics: The Church Communion of Saints Lyrics: 1 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father's throne, Make all my wants and wishes known! In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief, And oft escaped the tempter's snare, By thy return, sweet hour of prayer. 2 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, The joys I feel, the bliss I share Of those whose anxious spirits burn With strong desires for thy return! With such I hasten to the place Where God, my Saviour, shows his face, And gladly take my station there, And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer. 3 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, Thy wings shall my petition bear To him, whose truth and faithfulness Engage the waiting soul to bless: And since he bids me seek his face, Believe his Word, and trust his grace, I'll cast on him my ev'ry care, And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer. Amen. Scripture: Acts 3:1 Used With Tune: SWEET HOUR

Great is the Lord our God

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 303 hymnals Topics: Church Communion of Saints Lyrics: 1 Great is the Lord our God, And let His praise be great; He makes the Church His own abode, His most delightful seat, His most delightful seat. 2 In Zion God is known, A refuge in distress; How bright has His salvation shone Through all her palaces! Through all her palaces! 3 When kings against her joined, And saw the Lord was there, In wild confusion of the mind, They fled with hasty fear, They fled with hasty fear. 4 Oft have our fathers told, Our eyes have often seen, How well our God secures the fold Where His own sheep have been, Where His own sheep have been. 5 In every new distress We'll to His house repair; We'll call to mind His wondrous grace, And seek deliverance there, And seek deliverance there. Amen. Used With Tune: LUTHER

I come with joy, a child of God

Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 78 hymnals Topics: Communion of Saints Lyrics: 1 I come with joy, a child of God, forgiven, loved and free, the life of Jesus to recall, in love laid down for me. 2 I come with Christians far and near to find, as all are fed, the new community of love in Christ's communion bread. 3 As Christ breaks bread, and bids us share, each proud division ends. The love that made us, makes us one, and strangers now are friends. 4 The Spirit of the risen Christ, unseen, but ever near, is in such friendship better known, alive among us here. 5 Together met, together bound by all that God has done, we'll go with joy, to give the world the love that makes us one.
