You Saved the Best Till Now

Author: David Neff Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: At Cana's wedding feast, the guests Lyrics: 1. At Cana's wedding feast, the guests with your dear presence, Lord, were blessed. Their eyes were dimmed with common wine, but to your own, you gave a sign that laws and rites were soon to cease for God himself was at their feast. And when they'd drunk, they tasted how you'd saved the best of wines till now. 2. And then at table with your few, you showed the covenant made new. The paschal bread and wine you gave for us became the means to save the world from sin and stubborn ways and us from death and hell to raise. And when we drink, by faith we know you've saved the best of wines till now. 3. And when in heaven we shall sup and at the Lamb's feast drain the cup, no mystic wine or sacred bread shall stand between us in your stead; but that bright banquet's hosts shall be the blessed holy Trinity. And then we'll know, all sorrows past, you've saved the best of wines till last. Scripture: Luke 22:15-16 Used With Tune: [At Cana's wedding feast, the guests]

The Virtue of Faith

Author: Clara McAlister Brooks Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: As far above the howling storm Lyrics: 1 As far above the howling storm, Secure from danger’s reach and harm, Triumphantly the eagle flies— My soul on wings of faith would rise; When raging is the tempest’s blast, Ere yet its wrath is overpast— My soul would rise from earthly woe, To leave the stormy winds below. 2 Upon the troubled, restless wave, His fearful, trembling ones to save, The Master walked and calmed the sea, The wildly tossing Galilee; By faith again I hear His voice, In tones which make my heart rejoice, When fears my soul with terror thrill, He gently whispers, “Peace, be still.” 3 The lilies clothed in garments fair, The ravens flying through the air, Our blessed Father cares for all— He seeth e’en the sparrow’s fall; His children more He surely loves, Their cry His heart with pity moves: Though thorns bestrew the path we’ve trod, He whispers still, “Have faith in God.” 4 The waves around may fiercely roll, They cannot harm my trusting soul, Regarding not what I may see, My faith, O Lord, ascends to Thee; The darkest night and brazen sky Are pierced by faith’s unfailing eye— My cry shall be till time shall cease, “O blessed Lord, my faith increase.” Select Hymns, 1911 (Timeless Truths) Used With Tune: [As far above the howling storm]
