Lord of Life, of Love, of Light

Author: Benjamin H. Hall Hymnal: HOoS1926 #580 (1926) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D 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.

Raised between the Earth and Heaven

Author: Wharton Buchanan Smith Hymnal: HOoS1926 #583 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Raised between the earth and heaven, Now our bells are set on high, In the Name of Him Who giveth Skill, and strength, and industry. For His praise we meekly place it As a gift beneath His throne; All their sweet and noblest music Shall resound for Him alone. 2 Faithful men afar shall listen, 'Mid their daily toil or rest, While the melody shall bid them Love the Church where all are blest. They who languish, sick and lonely, Shall be minded, as they sigh, Of the Church's one communion, God's true home and family. 3 When the spirits of the faithful Pass away to light and peace; Solemn tones shall then forewarn us, Soon our life and work must cease. May these loud reverberations, Pealing forth in grand accord, Lift our hearts through joy and sorrow To Thy throne, most gracious Lord. Amen.

Can we know that Thou art near us, And wilt hear us? Yea, we can. 3 Yea, we know Thy love rejoicest O'er each work of Thine; Thou didst ears and hands and voices For Thy praise combine; Craftsman's art and music's measure For Thy pleasure Didst design. 4 Here, great God, to-day we offer Of Thine own to Thee, And for Thine acceptance proffer, All unworthily, Hearts and minds and hands and voices In our choicest Melody. 5 Honor, glory, might, and merit, Thine shall ever be, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Blessèd Trinity: Of the best that Thou hast given Earth and heaven Render Thee.

Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: HOoS1926 #585 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Thou in Whom Thy saints repose, When life's brief conflict finds its close, Behold us met before Thy face To hallow this their resting-place: Safe are the souls whom Thou dost keep; And safely here their dust shall sleep. 2 Thou knowest, Lord,--for Thou hast wept Beside the tomb where Lazarus slept,-- What tears must flow, what hearts must bleed, When here we sow the precious seed: Thou still rememb'rest, on Thy throne, Thy garden grave and sealed stone. 3 Bid then Thy hosts encamp around This chosen spot of holy ground: Here let calm hope with memory dwell, And faith of heavenly comfort tell: No thought of ill, no footstep rude Profane the sacred solitude. 4 When here Thy mourners shall repair In lonely grief and trembling prayer, Lift Thou sad hearts and streaming eyes To those fair glades of Paradise, Where safe within the guarded gate Thy ransomed souls in patience wait.
