ALL SAINTS' DAY. 368 We must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.-Acts xiv. 22. HEAD of the church triumphant, We joyfully adore thee; 1 2 3 Till thou appear, thy members here While in affliction's furnace, Thou dost conduct thy people Through torrents of temptation. Nor will we fear, while thou art near, The fire of tribulation; The world, with sin and Satan, [P.M. By thee we shall break through them all, 4 By faith we see the glory To which thou shalt restore us, 369 The whole family in heaven and earth. Eph. iii. 15. 1 COME, let us join our friends above 2 Let all the saints terrestrial sing 4 One army of the living God, Part of his host have cross'd the flood, 5 Our spirits too shall quickly join, 6 0 that we now might grasp our guide; Come, Lord of hosts, the waves divide, [C.M. 370 Lo, a great multitude, which no man could [D. 8s.7s. number, stood before the throne. Rev. vii. 9. 1 HARK the sound of holy voices, chanting at the crystal sea, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah! Lord, to thee; Multitudes, which none can number, like the stars in glory stand Clothed in white apparel, holding palms of victory in their hand. 2 Patriarch, and holy prophet, who prepared the way of Christ, King, apostle, saint, confessor, martyr, and evangelist, Saintly maiden, godly matron, widows who have watch'd to prayer, Join'd in holy concert, singing to the Lord of all, are there. 3 They have come from tribulation, and have wash'd their robes in blood, Wash'd them in the blood of Jesus; tried they were, and firm they stood; Mock'd, afflicted, scourged, imprison'd, stoned, tormented, slain with sword, They have conquer'd death and Satan by the might of Christ the Lord. 4 Marching with thy cross their banner, they have triumph'd, following Thee, the Captain of Salvation, thee, their Saviour and their King; Gladly, Lord, with thee they suffer'd; gladly, Lord, with thee they died; And by death to life immortal they were born and glorified. 5 Now they reign in heavenly glory, now they walk in golden light; Now they drink, as from a river, holy bliss and infinite; Love and peace they taste for ever, and all truth and knowledge see In the beatific vision of the Blessed Trinity. 6 God of God, the One-begotten, Light of Light, Emmanuel, In whose body join'd together all the saints for ever dwell, Pour upon us of thy fulness, that we may for evermore God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost adore. Amen. "WE HUMBLY BESEECH THEE MOST MERCIFULLY TO 371 Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the 1 FOUNTAIN of good, to own thy love What can we render, Lord, to thee, Whose humble names thou wilt confess 3 In their sad accents of distress In them thou may'st be clothed, and fed, 4 Thy face with reverence and with love For, while we minister to them, We do it, Lord, to thee.© [C.M. 372 All things come of thee, and of thine own have [88. 4. we given thee.-1 Chron. xxix. 14. 1 O LORD of heaven and earth and sea, 2 The golden sunshine, vernal air, 3 For peaceful homes and healthful days, 4 Thou didst not spare thine only Son, 5 Thou giv'st the Holy Spirit's dower, 6 For souls redeem'd, for sins forgiven, 7 We lose what on ourselves we spend, 8 Whatever, Lord, we lend to thee 9 To thee, from whom we all derive Giver of all. Amen. 373 1 2 As every man hath received the gift, even WE give thee but thine own, All that we have is thine alone, [S.M. |
