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

Author: Fred Pratt Green (1903-2000) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Other Saints and Festivals Philip and James, Apostles 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. Scripture: Hebrews 11 Used With Tune: HANNOVER

To Thee, O Lord, Our Hearts We Raise

Author: William Chatterton Dix Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 112 hymnals Topics: A Day of Thanksgiving or a Harvest Festival Lyrics: 1 To Thee, O Lord, our hearts we raise In hymns of adoration, To Thee bring sacrifice of praise With shouts of exultation: Bright robes of gold the fields adorn, The hills with joy are ringing, The valleys stand so thick with corn That even they are singing. 2 And now, on this our festal day, Thy bounteous hand confessing, Upon Thine altar, Lord, we lay The first-fruits of Thy blessing: By Thee the souls of men are fed With gifts of grace supernal; Thou who dost give us daily bread, Give us the Bread eternal. 3 We bear the burden of the day, And often toil seems dreary; But labor ends with sunset ray, And rest is for the weary; May we, the angel-reaping o'er, Stand at the last accepted, Christ's golden sheaves for evermore, To garners bright elected. 4 O blessèd is that land of God Where saints abide for ever, Where golden fields spread fair and broad, Where flows the crystal river: The strains of all its holy throng With ours to-day are blending; Thrice blessèd is that harvest-song Which never hath an ending. Amen. Used With Tune: GOLDEN SHEAVES

Lord, not to us, we claim it not

Author: Richard Mant Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: The Church Festival of the Reformation Lyrics: 1 Lord, not to us, we claim it not, To Thee be all the praise, That no profane and sinful spot Our mother church o'erlays: That, as in her primeval days, From intermediate stain Cleansed by Thy Word, to Thee she pays Unsullied rites again. 2 To no material form confined, A spirit pure alone, We serve Thee not in likeness shrined Of bread, or wood, or stone: Nor saint nor angel at Thy throne We crave to intercede, With Thee for our misdeeds atone, With Thee for mercy plead. 3 But far remote we seek Thy face, Hid in Thy heavenly seat: And, sole Transmitter of Thy grace, The Saviour's Name entreat: And thus to Thee with honor meet We hymn the grateful lay, Whose Word recalled our erring feet, And warned us how to pray. 4 To Thee, adored in ages past, Eternal One and Three, To Thee, whose worship aye shall last, In trinal Unity: To Thee, O Father; Son, to Thee; And Thee, O Spirit blest, By saints on earth all glory be With saints in heaven addrest! Used With Tune: OLD 137TH PSALM

Draw me after Thee! 3 Now thro' His Son doth shine The Father's grace divine: Death over us hath reigned Thro' sin and vanity: The Son for us obtained Eternal joy on high. May we praise Him there!
