O God, our help in ages past
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,239 hymnals Topics: National and Remembrance; Other Saints and Festivals Remembrance Sunday; Remembrance Sunday Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home;
2 Under the shadow of thy throne
thy saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is thine arm alone,
and our defence is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received her frame,
from everlasting thou art God,
to endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in thy sight
are like an evening gone,
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
bears all its sons away;
they fly forgotten, as a dream
dies at the opening day.
6 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
be thou our guard while troubles last,
and our eternal home. Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ST ANNE
O God, our help in ages past
For the healing of the nations
Author: Fred Kaan, b. 1929 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: Remembrance Sunday Lyrics: 1 For the healing of the nations,
Lord, we pray with one accord,
for a just and equal sharing
of the things that earth affords.
To a life of love in action
help us rise and pledge our word.
2 Lead us forward into freedom,
from despair your world release,
that, redeemed from war and hatred,
all may come and go in peace.
Show us how through care and goodness
fear will die and hope increase.
3 All that kills abundant living,
let it from the earth be banned:
pride of status, race or schooling,
dogmas that obscure your plan.
In our common quest for justice
may we hallow life’s brief span.
4 You, Creator-God, have written
your great name on humankind;
for our growing in your likeness,
bring the life of Christ to mind;
that by our response and service
earth its destiny may find. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:18 Used With Tune: ALLELUIA DULCE CARMEN

Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side

bear patiently the cross of grief and pain;
leave to your God to order and provide;
in every change he faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: your best, your heavenly friend
through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
2 Be still, my soul: your God will undertake
to guide the future as he has the past.
Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake,
all now mysterious shall be clear at last.
Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know
his voice, who ruled them while he dwelt below.
3 Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart
and all is darkened in the vale of tears,
then you shall better know his love, his heart,
who comes to soothe your sorrow, calm your fears.
Be still, my soul: for Jesus can repay
from his own fullness all he takes away.
4 Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on
when we shall be for ever with the Lord,
when disappointment, grief and fear are gone,
sorrow forgotten, love's pure joy restored.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past,
all safe and blessèd we shall meet at last. Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Used With Tune: FINLANDIA
Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side
The King of love my shepherd is
Author: H. W. Baker, 1821-1877 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 677 hymnals Topics: Funerals, Commemoration, Remembrance and All Souls Lyrics: 1 The King of love my shepherd is,
whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack if I am his
and he is mine for ever.
2 Where streams of living water flow
my ransomed soul he leadeth,
and where the verdant pastures grow
with food celestial feedeth.
3 Perverse and foolish oft I strayed,
but yet in love he sought me,
and on his shoulder gently laid,
and home rejoicing brought me.
4 In death's dark vale I fear no ill
with thee, dear Lord, beside me;
thy rod and staff my comfort still,
thy cross before to guide me.
5 Thou spread'st a table in my sight;
thy unction grace bestoweth;
and O what transport of delight
from thy pure chalice floweth!
6 And so through all the length of days
thy goodness faileth never:
good Shepherd, may I sing thy praise
within thy house for ever. Scripture: Isaiah 2:16 Used With Tune: DOMINUS REGIT ME
The King of love my shepherd is
Rock of ages, cleft for me
Author: A. M. Toplady, 1740-1778 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,902 hymnals Topics: Funerals, Commemoration, Remembrance and All Souls Lyrics: 1 Rock of ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee;
let the water and the blood,
from thy riven side which flowed,
be of sin the double cure:
cleanse me from its guilt and power.
2 Not the labours of my hands
can fulfil thy law's demands;
could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears for ever flow,
all for sin could not atone:
thou must save, and thou alone.
3 Nothing in my hand I bring,
simply to thy cross I cling;
naked, come to thee for dress;
helpless, look to thee for grace;
foul, I to the fountain fly;
wash me, Saviour, or I die.
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
when my eyelids close in death,
when I soar through tracts unknown,
see thee on thy judgement throne;
Rock of ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee.
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:10 Used With Tune: PETRA
Rock of ages, cleft for me

O God of Every Nation
Abide with me: fast falls the eventide
Author: H. F. Lyte, 1793-1847 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,673 hymnals Topics: Funerals, Commemoration, Remembrance and All Souls Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the eventide:
the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide!
when other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
help of the helpless, O abide with me.
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
change and decay in all around I see;
O thou who changest not, abide with me.
3 I need thy presence every passing hour;
what but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
who like thyself my guide and stay can be?
through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.
4 I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless;
ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if thou abide with me.
5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes;
shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies:
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me! Scripture: 1 Chronicles 29:15 Used With Tune: EVENTIDE
Abide with me: fast falls the eventide
O love that wilt not let me go
Author: George Matheson, 1842-1906 Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Appears in 677 hymnals Topics: Funerals, Commemoration, Remembrance and All Souls Lyrics: 1 O love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
that in thine ocean depths its flow
may richer, fuller be.
2 O light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
my heart restores its borrowed ray,
that in thy sunshine's blaze its day
may brighter, fairer be.
3 O joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
and feel the promise is not vain,
that morn shall tearless be.
4 O cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
and from the ground there blossoms red
life that shall endless be. Scripture: Genesis 9:12-16 Used With Tune: ST MARGARET
O love that wilt not let me go
