For all the saints, who from their labors rest

Author: W. W. How Meter: 10.10.10.4 Appears in 602 hymnals Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts Lyrics: 1 For all the saints, who from their labors rest, Who Thee by faith before the world confessed, Thy Name, O Jesu, be forever blest. Alleluia! Allleluia! 2 Thou wast their Rock, their Fortress, and their Might: Thou, Lord, their Captain in the well-fought fight; Thou, in the darkness drear, their one true Light. Alleluia! Allleluia! 3 O may Thy soldiers, faithful, true, and bold, Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old, And win, with them, the victor's crown of gold. Alleluia! Allleluia! 4 O blest communion, fellowship divine! We feebly struggle, they in glory shine; Yet all are one in Thee, for all are Thine. Alleluia! Allleluia! 5 And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long, Steals on the ear the distant triumph-song, And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong. Alleluia! Allleluia! 6 The golden evening brightens in the west; Soon, soon to faithful warriors cometh rest; Sweet is the calm of Paradise the blest. Alleluia! Allleluia! 7 But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day; The saints triumphant rise in bright array; The King of Glory passes on His way. Alleluia! Allleluia! 8 From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast, Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host, Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Alleluia! Allleluia! Amen.

Here, O My Lord, I See You Face to Face

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 337 hymnals Topics: Feast Lyrics: 1 Here, O my Lord, I see you face to face, here would I touch and handle things unseen, here grasp with firmer hand eternal grace, and all my weariness upon you lean. 2 Here I will feed upon the bread of God, here drink with you the royal wine of heaven; here I will lay aside each earthly load, here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven. 3 This is the hour of banquet and of song; this is the heavenly table for me spread; here let me feast, and feasting, still prolong the fellowship of living wine and bread. 4 Too soon we rise, the symbols disappear. The feast, though not the love, is past and gone: the bread and wine remove, but you are here, nearer than ever, still my shield and sun. 5 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by, yet, passing, points to that glad feast above, giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, the Lamb’s great bridal feast of bliss and love.

Thy bulwarks, with salvation strong, And streets of shining gold? 3 There happier bowers than Eden's bloom, Nor sin nor sorrow know: Blest seats! through rude and stormy scenes I onward press to you. 4 Why should I shrink at pain and woe, Or feel at death dismay? I've Canann's goodly land in view, And realms of endless day. 5 Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there Around my Saviour stand; And soon my friends in Christ below Will join the glorious band. 6 Jerusalem, my happy home! My soul still pants for thee; Then shall my labors have an end, When I thy joys shall see. Amen. Used With Tune: BEATITUDO

Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult

Author: Mrs. Alexander Meter: 8.7 Appears in 988 hymnals Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts St. Andrew Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult Of our life's wild, restless sea, Day by day His sweet voice soundeth, Saying, "Christian, follow Me;" 2 As of old, Saint Andrew heard it By the Galilean lake, Turned from home, and toil, and kindred, Leaving all for His dear sake. 3 Jesus calls us from the worship Of the vain world's golden store; From each idol that would keep us, Saying, "Christian, love Me more." 4 In our joys and in our sorrows, Days of toil and hours of ease, Still He calls, in cares and pleasures, "That we love Him more than these." 5 Jesus calls us: by Thy mercies, Saviour, may we hear Thy call, Give our hearts to Thine obedience, Serve and love Thee best of all. Amen. Used With Tune: [Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult]
