Author: Benjamin H. Hall Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord of life, of love, of light, Clothed with mercy, armed with might, Worship centers at Thy throne, Praise belongs to Thee alone! Be this house forever Thine; Through it let Thy favor shine; Feed the souls that here shall meet, From Thy bounty pure and sweet. 2 Write salvation on these walls; Succor those whom sin enthralls; Lightened with celestial rays, Let these gates reflect Thy praise. Thou who dwell'st where'er is sung Praise to Thee by human tongue, With the presence of Thy grace Dwell henceforth within this place. 3 On Thine agèd servants pour Richest mercies from Thy store, And till life's brief hour shall end, Be their Guardian, Saviour, Friend. Father holy! Christ most blest! Evermore within us rest! Spirit pure, illume our ways With Thy bright, celestial rays. Amen.

Great and Fair Is She

Author: William Watson Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 21 hymnals First Line: Great and fair is she, our land Lyrics: 1. Great and fair is she, our land, High of heart and strong of hand; Dawn is on her forehead still, In her veins youth’s arrowy thrill. Hers are riches, might and fame; All the earth resounds her name; In her roadsteads navies ride: Hath she need of aught beside? 2. Power Unseen, before whose eyes Nations fall and nations rise, Grant she climb not to her goal All-forgetful of the Soul! Firm in honor be she found, Justice-armed and mercy-crowned, Blest in labor, blest in ease, Blest in noiseless charities. 3. Unenslaved by things that must Yield full soon to moth and rust, Let her hold a light on high Men unborn may travel by. Mightier still she then shall stand, Molded by Thy secret hand, Power Eternal, at whose call Nations rise and nations fall. Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR Text Sources: The Muse in Exile (New York: John Lane Company, 1913)

Saw Ye Not The Cloud Arise?

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 50 hymnals First Line: Saw ye not the cloud arise Lyrics: 1 Saw ye not the cloud arise, Little as a human hand? Now it spreads along the skies, Hangs o’er all the thirsty land, Lo! the promise of a flower Drops already from above, But the Lord shall shortly pour All the spirit of His love. 2 Sons of God your Savior praise, He a door hath opened wide He hath given the word of grace, Jesu’s word is glorified: Jesu’s mighty to redeem, He alone the work hath wrought, Worthy is the work of Him, Who all things to being brought. 3 When He first the work begun Small and feeble was His day, Now the word doth swiftly run, Now it spreads its glorious way; More and more it shines and grows, Ever mighty to prevail; Sin’s strong holds it now o’erthrows, Shakes the trembling gates of hell.

Author: Henrietta O. de Lisle Dobree Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 33 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Safely, safely gathered in, Far from sorrow, far from sin, No more childish griefs or fears, No more sadness, no more tears; For the life so young and fair Now hath passed from earthly care; God Himself the soul will keep, Giving His beloved sleep. 2 Safely, safely gathered in, Far from sorrow, far from sin; Passed beyond all grief and pain, Death for thee is truest gain; For our loss we may not weep, Now our loved ones long to keep From the home of rest and peace, Where all sin and sorrow cease. 3 Safely, safely gathered in, Far from sorrow, far from sin; God has saved from weary strife, In its dawn, this fresh young life; Now it waits for us above, Resting in the Saviour's love; Jesu, grant that we may meet There, adoring, at Thy feet. Amen. Topics: Last Things Death and Burial of Children Used With Tune: WELLS
