XI-SONG (ALL STANDING)

All Saints, No. 2

H. S. Cutler (1824-1902)

1. The Son of God goes forth to war, A king-ly crown to gain;

His blood red ban-ner streams a far: Who fol-lows in

His train?

3. A noble band, the chosen few,
On whom the Spirit came,

Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew
And mocked the torch of flame;

They met the tyrant's brandished steel,
The lion's gory mane,

They bowed their necks the stroke to feel;
Who follows in their train?

4. A noble army, men and boys,
The matron and the maid,
Around the throne of God rejoice

In robes of light arrayed.

They climbed the steep ascent of heaven,
Through peril, toil and pain:

O God, to us may grace be given

To follow in their train.

-R. HEBER (1827)

1. Jesus shall reign where'er the sun Does his suc

sive jour-neys run; His kingdom stretch from shore to

shore, Till moons shall wax

and wane

no more. A-men.

2. For Him shall endless prayer be made
And praises throng to crown His head;
His name like sweet perfume shall rise
With every morning sacrifice.

3. People and realms, of every tongue,
Dwell on His love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim

Their early blessings on His name.

4. Blessings abound where'er He reigns;
The prisoner leaps to lose his chains;
The weary find eternal rest,

And all the sons of want are blest.

5. Let every creature rise and bring
Peculiar honors to our King:
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the loud Amen.

— ISAAC WATTS (1719)

II-SCRIPTURE READING (ALL SEATED)—

Leader: Thus saith the Lord: Look unto me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

School: I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people, I will sing unto thee among the nations. For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds. Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.

Leader: O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: fear before
him, all the earth. Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth;
the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he
shall judge the people righteously.

School: O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him all ye people
For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the
Lord endureth forever. Praise ye the Lord.

III-SONG (ALL STANDING)

Wesley

Lowell Mason (1792-1872)

I. Hail

to the brightness of Zi-on's glad morning, Joy to the

lands that in darkness have lain! Hushed be the ac-cents of sor-row and

mourning, Zi- on in triumph be-gins her mild reign. A-men.

2. Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning,
Long by the prophets of Israel foretold;
Hail to the millions from bondage returning!
Gentiles and Jews the blest vision behold.

3. Lo, in the desert rich flowers are springing,
Streams ever copious are gliding along;
Loud from the mountain-tops echoes are ringing,
Wastes rise in verdure and mingle in song.
