From Peaceful Slumber Waking

Author: Johan Olof Wallin; E. W. Olson Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Processionals and Recessionals Morning Lyrics: 1 From peaceful slumber waking, We sing, O Lord, Thy praise, When o'er the world is breaking Another day of grace-- A day that soon shall perish As yesterdays are past-- O teach us, then, to cherish Each moment as our last. 2 O Lord of light and beauty, The light divine us send, To see and do our duty, Lest, when this day shall end, We come with vain excuses For sin and trespass done, And shame our face suffuses At blush of setting sun. 3 Give God thy heart, thy labor, Show forth Thy Savior's praise And be unto Thy neighbor A present help always: The name of Christ we hallow Not by our faith alone; If we His path would follow, His will through us be done. 4 Blest be each faithful servant, Whene'er the Lord shall come; The dutiful and fervent He taketh to His home, To share with Him in glory What eye hath not beheld Nor tongue hath told in story Nor mortal heart hath held. Amen. Used With Tune: LAUSANNE

The royal banners forward go

Author: J. M. Neale; V. Fortunatus Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 138 hymnals Topics: Processionals Lent Lyrics: 1 The royal banners forward go, The cross shines forth in mystic glow; Where He in flesh, our flesh Who made, Our sentence bore, our ransom paid. 2 There whilst He hung, His sacred side By soldier's spear was opened wide, To cleanse us in the precious flood Of water mingled with His blood. 3 Fulfilled is now what David told In true prophetic song of old, How God the heathen's King should be; For God is reigning from the tree. 4 O tree of glory, tree most fair, Ordained those holy limbs to bear, How bright in purple robe it stood, The purple of a Saviour's blood! 5 Upon its arms, like balance true, He weighed the price for sinners due, The price which none but He could pay, And spoiled the spoiler of his prey. 6 To Thee, eternal Three in One, Let homage meet by all be done: As by the cross Thou dost restore, So rule and guide us evermore. Amen. Used With Tune: VEXILLA REGIS

The golden gates are lifted up

Author: C. F. Alexander Appears in 132 hymnals Topics: General Processionals Lyrics: 1 The golden gates are lifted up, The doors are opened wide; The King of Glory is gone in Unto His Father's side. 2 Thou art gone up before us, Lord, To make for us a place, That we may be where now Thou art, And look upon God's face. 3 And ever on our earthly path A gleam of glory lies, A light still breaks behind the cloud That veiled Thee from our eyes. 4 Lift up our hearts, lift up our minds: Let Thy dear grace be given, That, while we wander here below, Our treasure be in heaven; 5 That where Thou art, at God's right hand, Our hope, our love, may be: Dwell Thou in us, that we may dwell For evermore in Thee.

Holy Spirit, give us Each a lowly mind; Make us more like Jesus, Gentle, pure and kind. 3 Holy Spirit, brighten Little deeds of toil; And our playful past-times Let no folly spoil. Holy Spirit, keep us Safe from sins which lie Hidden by some pleasure From our youthful eye. 4 Holy Spirit, help us Daily by Thy might, What is wrong to conquer And to choose the right. Holy Spirit, hear us, Help us while we sing; Breathe into the music Of the praise we bring. Amen. Used With Tune: DAVID

O, King of saints, we give Thee praise and glory

Author: M. A. Thomson Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Processionals Saints' Days Lyrics: 1 O King of saints, we give Thee praise and glory For the bright cloud of witnesses unseen, Whose names shine forth like stars, in sacred story, Guiding our steps to realms of light serene; 2 And for Thy hidden saints, our praise adoring, Fount of all sanctity, to Thee we yield, Who in Thy treasure-house on high, art storing Jewels who lustre was, on earth, concealed. 3 Thine arm sustained them all in conflict mortal With sin, the world, and all the powers of hell; Thy hand hath oped for all, the shining portal To realms where peace and joy forever dwell. 4 There they are throned and white-robed elders, casting Before the King of kings their crowns of gold; And there are crowns and mansions everlasting, And palms and harps for multitudes untold. 5 Though, in Thy service, we too oft have slumbered, Like the ten virgins, foolish ones and wise; Yet with Thy saints, may we at last be numbered, And at Thy call with burning lamps arise. Amen. Used With Tune: STRENGTH AND STAY
