May we never cease to make confession that your death’s the cause of our salvation; we to you, our Head and King, joyful hallelujahs sing.

O happy band of pilgrims

Appears in 188 hymnals Topics: Festivals Lyrics: 1 O happy band of pilgrims, If onward ye will tread, With Jesus as your fellows, To Jesus as your Head; O happy if ye labour As Jesus did for men; O happy if ye hunger As Jesus hungered then. 2 The Cross that Jesus carried Was carried as your due; The Crown that Jesus weareth He weareth it for you. The trials that beset you, The sorrows ye endure, The manifold temptations, That death alone can cure; 3 What are they but His jewels Of right celestial worth? What are they but the ladder Set up to heaven on earth? O happy band of pilgrims, Look upward to the skies, Where such a light affliction Shall win so great a prize. Amen.

Far o'er yon horizon

Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: Festivals Lyrics: 1 Far o'er yon horizon Rise the city towers; Where our God abideth; That fair Home is ours: Flash the streets with jasper, Shine the gates with gold; Flows the gladdening river, Shedding joys untold. Thither, onward thither, In the Spirit's might; Pilgrims to your country, Forward into light. 2 Into God' high temple Onward as we press, Beauty spreads around us, Born of holiness; Arch, and vault, and carving, Lights of varied tone, Softened words and holy, Prayer and praise alone: Every thought upraising To our city bright, Where the tribes assemble Round the Throne of light. 3 Nought that city needeth Of these aisles of stone: Where the GODHEAD dwelleth, Temple there is none; All the Saints, that ever In these courts have stood, Are but babes, and feeding On the children's food. On through sign and token, Stars amid the night, Forward through the darkness, Forward into light. 4 To the eternal FATHER Loudest anthems raise; To the SON and SPIRIT Echo songs of praise; To the Lord of glory, Blessed THREE in ONE, Be by men and Angels Endless honours done; Weak are earthly praises; Dull the songs of night; Forward into triumph, Forward into light! Amen. Used With Tune: S. BONIFACE

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Other Saints and Festivals Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist; Other Saints and Festivals Simon and Jude, Apostles Lyrics: 1 Christ is the one who calls, the one who loved and came, to whom by right it falls to bear the highest name: and still today our hearts are stirred to hear his word and walk his way. 2 Christ is the one who seeks, to whom our souls are known. The word of love he speaks can wake a heart of stone; for at that sound the blind can see, the slave is free, the lost are found. 3 Christ is the one who died forsaken and betrayed; who, mocked and crucified, the price of pardon paid. Our dying Lord, what grief and loss, what bitter cross, our souls restored! 4 Christ is the one who rose in glory from the grave, to share his life with those whom once he died to save. He drew death's sting and broke its chains, who lives and reigns, our risen King. 5 Christ is the one who sends, his story to declare; who calls his servants friends and gives them news to share. His truth proclaim in all the earth, his matchless worth and saving name. Scripture: Matthew 28:18-20 Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN

Praise to the Spirit who confirms the vision; in all the world the will of God be done! 2 Proud in our wealth, or destitute and broken, we cannot live by earthly bread alone; but by the word that God himself has spoken we are set free to make our Master known. 3 Eastward or westward, northward, southward moving, finding new fields, new patterns and new role, Christ's fellow-workers, all his goodness proving, see how our God is making people whole! 4 Linked by the cross at which we are forgiven, joined by the love that came to find and save, one in the hope of God's new earth and heaven, we love and give since he first loved and gave. 5 Send us, Lord Christ, to serve at your direction, dying and living, yours in loss and gain, true to the gospel of your resurrection, working and praying till you come to reign.

Alleluia! thanks and glory

Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Festivals Lyrics: 1 Alleluia! thanks and glory, High adoring praise we bring, Hearts and voices both uplifted To our crown'd and conquering King! Children in the temple prais'd Thee, Thou the children's praise didst own; Now let children's praise accepted Reach thee on Thy radiant throne. 2 Alleluia! King, Redeemer, Saviour of our Eden lost! Though but children, sinful children, We are Thine by priceless cost; Though but children, weak and wayward, Yet through Thy redeeming love Washed, forgiven, sealed for glory, We shall reign with Thee above. 3 Alleluia! Oh! the mercy! Oh! the goodness, love, and grace! Mercy rich, and free, and glorious, Passing bound of time and space! Let Thy children sing Hosanna, Sing and say, in faith divine, "Such a Saviour, such salvation, Such eternal joys are mine!" 4 Alleluia! O most holy, O most patient, O most true, Ever faithful, all-forgiving, Still bestowing mercies new! Day by day has mercy kept us, Soul and body kept from ill; Night by night, in peace descending, Cometh mercy, mercy still. 5 Then to Him, the Found of mercy, Jesus Christ, the children's King, Blessing, honour, thanks and glory, Let His children ever bring. Let their mighty Alleluia Fill the earth from shore to shore, Till with that new song it mingles, Sung in heaven for evermore! Amen. Used With Tune: HENRY
