For All the Saints
Author: William Walsham How Meter: 10.10.10 with alleluias Appears in 600 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Reformation Day First Line: For all the saints, who from their labors rest Refrain First Line: Alleluia! Alleluia! Lyrics: 1 For all the saints who from their labors rest,
All who by faith before the world confessed,
Your name, O Jesus, be forever blest.
[Refrain:]
Alleluia! Alleluia!
2 You were their rock, their fortress, and their might;
Jesus, their cCaptain in the well-fought fight;
You in the darkness drear, their one true Light. [Refrain]
3 O may your soldiers, faithful, true, and bold,
Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,
And win with them the victor's crown of gold. [Refrain]
4 O blest communion, fellowship divine!
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
Yet all are one within your great design. [Refrain]
5 And when the fight is fierce, the warfare long,
Steals on the ear the distant triumph song,
And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong. [Refrain]
6 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, [Refrain]

God of the Prophets! Bless the Prophets' Sons
Author: Dennis Wortman Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 63 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Mission Lyrics: 1 God of the prophets! Bless the prophets' sons;
Elijah's mantle o'er Elisha cast;
Each age its solemn task may claim but once;
Make each one nobler, stronger than the last.
2 Anoint them prophets! Make their ears attent
To your divinest speech; their hearts awake
To human need; their lips make eloquent
To gird the right and every evil break.
3 Anoint them priests! Strong intercessors they
For pardon, and for charity and peace!
O that with them might pass the world, astray,
Into the dear Christ's life of sacrifice!
4 Make them apostles! Heralds of the cross;
Forth may they go to tell all realms your grace;
Inspired of God, may they count all but loss,
And stand at last with joy before your face.
Amen. Scripture: Acts 3:25 Used With Tune: TOULON

Adored through all our changing days.

And adoring bend the knee
While we own the mystery.

In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise.

Nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might;
Thy justice like mountains high soaring above
Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.
3 To all, life thou givest— to both great and small;
In all life thou livest, the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish— but naught changeth Thee.

With every morning sacrifice.

Dwell on his love with sweetest song,
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on his name.

The prisoner leaps to lose his chains,
The weary find eternal rest,
And all the sons of want are blest.

Peculiar honors to our King;
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the loud Amen!

O Sacred Head, Now Wounded
Author: Paul Gerhardt; James W. Alexander Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 749 hymnals Topics: Other Observances World Communion Lyrics: 1 O sacred Head, now wounded,
With grief and shame weighed down;
Now scornfully surrounded
With thorns, thine only crown;
O sacred Head, what glory,
What bliss till now was thine!
Yet, though despised and gory,
I joy to call thee mine.
2 What thou, my Lord, hast suffered
Was all for sinners' gain:
Mine, mine was the transgression,
But thine the deadly pain.
Lo, here I fall, my Savior!
'Tis I deserve thy place;
Look on me with thy favor,
Vouchsafe to me thy grace.
3 What language shall I borrow
To thank thee, dearest Friend,
For this thy dying sorrow,
Thy pity without end?
O make me thine forever;
And should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never
Outlive my love to thee.
Amen. Scripture: John 19:2-5 Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE Text Sources: Based on medieval Latin poem

O Sing a Song of Bethlehem
Author: Louis F. Benson Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 66 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Christian Education Lyrics: 1 O sing a song of Bethlehem,
Of shepherds watching there,
And of the news that came to them
From angels in the air:
The light that shone on Bethlehem
Fills all the world today;
Of Jesus' birth and peace on earth
The angels sing alway.
2 O sing a song of Nazareth,
Of sunny days of joy;
O sing of fragrant flowers' breath,
And of the sinless boy:
For now the flowers of Nazareth
In every heart may grow;
Now spreads the fame of his dear name
On all the winds that blow.
3 O sing a song of Galilee,
Of lake and woods and hill,
Of him who walked upon the sea
And bade its waves be still:
For though, like waves on Galilee,
Dark seas of trouble roll,
When faith has heard the Master's word,
Falls peace upon the soul.
4 O sing a song of Calvary,
Its glory and dismay;
Of him who hung upon the tree,
And took our sins away:
For he who died on Calvary
Is risen from the grave,
And Christ, our Lord, by heaven adored,
Is mighty now to save.
Amen. Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD
