8 From Daniel's case this may be seen, 9 When the three Hebrews were at last No power had fiercest flames to harm 10 And thus our God, still at this day, From harm and many an evil way Keeps us by His dear angel-guard, Placed o'er us as our watch and ward. 11 For this, now and eternally, Our praise shall rise, O God, to Thee, 12 We also pray Thee to defend Thy fold, that little flock, O Lord, 287 8, 7, 8, 7, 7, 7 JESUS, brightness of the Father, Glory to Thy name we give: 2 Blessed Lord, by their protection 3 Glory to th' almighty Father, Three in One, and One in Three, 288 ALL SAINTS 7, 6, 8, 6 81 TEN thousand times ten thousand Their fight with death and sin: 2 What rush of alleluias Fills all the earth and sky! What ringing of a thousand harps Bespeaks the triumph nigh! Oh, day, for which creation And all its tribes were made; Oh, joy, for all its former woes A thousand-fold repaid! 3 Oh, then what raptured greetings Then eyes with joy shall sparkle That brimmed with tears of late; Orphans no longer fatherless, 4 Bring near Thy great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain; Fill up the roll of Thine elect, Then take Thy power, and reign: Appear, Desire of nations, Thine exiles long for home: Show in the heav'ns Thy promised sign; 289 Thou Prince and Savior, come! FOR all Thy saints, O Lord, Who followed Thee, obeyed, adored, 8. M 2 For all Thy saints, O Lord, 3 They all in life and death, With Thee, their Lord, in view, Learned from Thy Holy Spirit's breath To suffer and to do. 4 For this Thy name we bless, 290 HARK! the sound of holy voices Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Lord, to Thee; 8,7 81 Multitudes, which none can number, Clothed in white apparel, holding 2 Patriarch, and Holy Prophet, Saintly Maiden, Godly Matron, 3 They have come from tribulation, 4 Marching with Thy cross, their banner, They have triumphed, following Thee, the Captain of salvation, Thee, their Savior and their King. Gladly, Lord, with Thee they suffered, Gladly, Lord, with Thee they died; And by death to life immortal They were born and glorified. 5 Now they reign in heavenly glory Love and peace they taste forever, Of the Blessed Trinity. HARVEST AND THANKSGIVING 291 L. M. 61 O LORD, whose bounteous hand again Hath poured Thy gifts in plenty down, Who all creation dost sustain And all the earth with goodness crown: Lord of the harvest, here we own Our joy Thy gift, and Thine alone. 2 O may we ne'er with thankless heart Forget from whom our blessings flow: Still, Lord, Thy heavenly grace impart; Still teach us what to Thee we owe. Lord, may our lives with fruit divine Return Thy care, and prove us Thine. 3 Lord, grant that each may sow to Thee; Grant us in endless life to reap: Of every heart the Guardian be: By day and night Thy servants keep, That all to Thee may joy afford 292 On Thy great harvest-day, O Lord. C. M. O LORD, I sing with mouth and heart, To earth Thy knowledge I impart, 2 Thou art the Fount of grace, I know, And Spring so full and free, Whence saving health and goodness flow 3 For what have all that live and move Through this wide world below, |
