Sing Alleluia Forth In Duteous Praise

Hymnal: Hymnal Supplement 1991 #838 (1991) Meter: 10.10.7 Topics: Commemorations and Occasions Martyrs Lyrics: 1 Sing alleluia forth in duteous praise. You citizens of heav'n. O sweetly raise an endless alleluia. 2 You pow'rs who stand before the Eternal Light, Let all your choirs re-echo to the height an endless alleluia. 3 Then let the holy city raise the strain, And with glad songs resounding wake again an endless alleluia. 4 You who have fought and joined the starry throng, You victors, now take up the eternal song, an endless alleluia. 5 Your songs of triumph shall for ever ring, The hymns which tell the honor of your King, an endless alleluia. 6 Such song is rest and food and deep delight To saint forgiven; let them all unite in endless alleluia. 7 Almighty Christ, to you our voices sing Glory for evermore; to you we bring an endless alleluia.

Alleluia! 6 The golden evening brightens in the west; Soon, soon to faithful warriors comes their rest; Sweet is the calm of paradise the blest. Alleluia!

The Son of God Goes Forth to War

Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #183 (1978) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Saints' Days St. Stephen, Deacon and Martyr Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war A kingly crown to gain. His blood-red banner streams afar; Who follows in his train? Who best can drink his cup of woe, Triumphant over pain; Who patient bears his cross below - He follows in his train. 2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave, Who saw his master in the sky And called on him to save. Like him, with pardon on his tongue In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for those who did the wrong - Who follows in his train? 3 A glorious band, the chosen few, On whom the Spirit came, Twelve valiant saints; their hope they knew And mocked the cross and flame. They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane; They bowed their necks the death to feel - Who follows in their train? 4 A noble army, girls and boys, With men and women saved, Around the Savior's throne rejoice, In robes of light arrayed. They climbed the steep ascent of heav'n Through peril, toil, and pain. O God, to us may grace be giv'n To follow in their train! Languages: English Tune Title: ALL SAINTS NEW

And was the holy Lamb of God on England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine shine forth upon our clouded hills?
