Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days!

Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #821 (2010) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Lyrics: 1 Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days! A world without saints forgets how to praise. Their faith in acquiring the habit of prayer, their depth of adoring, Lord, help us to share. 2 Some march with events to turn them God's way; some need to withdraw, the better to pray; some carry the gospel through fire and through flood: our world is their parish; their purpose is God. 3 Rejoice in those saints, unpraised and unknown, who bear someone's cross or shoulder their own; they shame our complaining, our comforts, our cares: what patience in caring, what courage, is theirs! 4 Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days; a world without saints forgets how to praise. In loving, in living, they prove it is true: the way of self giving, Lord, leads us to you. Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days All Saints Languages: English Tune Title: HANOVER

Disposer supreme, and Judge of the earth

Author: Jean-Baptiste de Santeüil, 1630-1697; Isaac Williams, 1802-1865 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #832 (2010) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Lyrics: 1 Disposer supreme, and Judge of the earth, who choosest for thine the meek and the poor; to frail earthen vessels, and things of no worth, entrusting thy riches which ay shall endure; 2 Those vessels soon fail, though full of thy light, and at thy decree are broken and gone; thence brightly appeareth thy truth in its might, as through the clouds riven the lightnings have shone. 3 Like clouds are they borne to do thy great will, and swift as the winds about the world go: the Word with his wisdom their spirits doth fill; they thunder, they lighten, the waters o'erflow. 4 Their sound goeth forth, 'Christ Jesus the Lord!' then Satan doth fear, his citadels fall; as when the dread trumpets went forth at thy word, and one long blast shattered the Canaanite's wall. 5 O loud be their trump, and stirring their sound, to rouse us, O Lord, from slumber of sin! The lights thou hast kindled in darkness around, O may they awaken our spirits within! 6 All honour and praise, dominion and might, to God, Three in One, eternally be, who round us hath shed his own marvellous light, and called us from darkness his glory to see.
