 Hymns. 
 
 I. Proresnonal. ^». 6b. 
 
 The Church's one foundation 
 
 Is Jescjs Chkist her Lord; 
 She is His new creation 
 
 By water and the Word ; 
 From Heaven He came and sought her 
 
 To be His holy Bride ; 
 With His own blood He bought her, 
 
 And for her life He died. 
 
 Elect from every nation, 
 
 Yet one o'er all the earth, 
 Her charter of salvation 
 
 One Lord, one Faith, one Birth, 
 One Holy Name she blesses. 
 
 Partakes one Holy Food, 
 And to one hope she presses 
 
 With every grace endued. 
 
 Though with a scornful wonder 
 
 Men see her sore opprest, 
 By schisms rent asunder, 
 
 By heresies distrtst, 
 
Yet Saints their watch are keeping, 
 Their cry goes up, " How long ? " 
 
 And soon the night of weeping 
 Shall be the morn of song. 
 
 Mill toil, and tribulation. 
 
 And tumult of her war. 
 She waits the consummation 
 
 Of peace for evermore ; 
 Till with the vision glorious 
 
 Her longing eyes are blest. 
 And the great Church victorious 
 
 Shall be the Church at rest. 
 
 Yet she on earth hath union 
 
 With God the Thkke in U>e, 
 And mystic sweet communion 
 
 With those whose rest is won : 
 happy ones and holy ! 
 
 Lord, give us grace that we. 
 Like them the meek and lowly. 
 
 On high may dwell with Thee. Amen. 
 
 IT. After third Collect. L.M. 
 
 All people that on earth do dwell. 
 Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice ; 
 Him serve with fear, His praise forth tell, 
 Come ye before Him and rejoice. 
 
 The Lord, ye know is God indeed , 
 Without our aid He did us make : 
 ^V'e are His flock, He doth us feed, 
 And for His sheep He doth us take. 
 
 O enter then His gates Asitli praise, 
 Approach Avith joy His courts unto ; 
 I'raisc, laud, and bless His name always, 
 For it is seemly so to do. 
 
 For why ? the Lord our (jou is good ; 
 His mercy is for ever sure ; 
 His truth at all times firmly stood. 
 And shall from age to age endure. 
 
 To Father, Sox, and Holy Ghost, 
 The God Whom heaven r ^h adore. 
 
 From men and from the A st 
 
 Be praise and glory ever u Amen. 
 
 III. After Morning Pra 6. 4. 
 
 Lord of all power and i light, 
 Father of love and light, 
 
 Speed on Thy Word : 
 O let the Gospel sound 
 All the wide world around, 
 W^herever man is found ; 
 
 God speed his Word. 
 
Hail, blessed Jubilee : 
 Thine, Lord, the glory be ; 
 
 Hallelujah ! 
 Thine was the mighty plan, 
 From Thee the work began ; 
 Away with praise of man, 
 
 Glory to God ! 
 
 Lo, what embattled foes, 
 Stern in their hate, oppose 
 
 God's holy Word : 
 One for His truth we stand, 
 Stro.ig in His own right hp.nd, 
 Firm as a martyr-band ; 
 
 God shield His Word. 
 
 Onward shall be our course. 
 Despite of fraud or force, 
 
 God is before ; 
 His Word ere long shall run 
 Free as the noon-day sun ; 
 His purpose must be done : — 
 
 God bless His Word, 
 
 IV. After Nicene Creed. D.S.7. 
 
 Glorious things of tliee are spoken, 
 
 Zion, city of our God ; 
 He whose word cannot be broken, 
 
 Form'd thee for His own abode. 
 On the Rock of Ages founded. 
 
 What can shake thy sure repose 7 
 With salvation's wall's surrounded, 
 
 Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 
 
 See, the streams of living watei-s, 
 
 Springing from eternal love. 
 Well supply thy sons and dauglitcrs. 
 
 And all fear of want remove ; 
 Who can faint while such a river 
 
 Ever flows Lheir thirst to assuage ? 
 Grace, which like the Lord, the giver, 
 
 Never fails from age to age. 
 
 Saviour, if of Zion's city 
 
 I through grace a member am, 
 Let the world der-de or pity, 
 
 I will glory in t liy name ; 
 Fading is the worldling's pleasure, 
 
 AH his boasted pomp and show ; 
 Solid joys and lasting treasure, 
 
 None but Zion's children know. 
 
 V. RevfKiiiovah P.M. 
 
 Head of the Church triumphant. 
 We joyfully adore Thee ; 
 Till Thou appear Thv members here 
 Shall sing like those in glory : 
 
We lift our hearts and voices, 
 With bless'd anticipation, 
 And cry aloud, and give to God 
 Thejpraise of our salvation. 
 
 While in affliction's furnace, 
 
 And passing through the fire. 
 Thy love we praise in grateful lays. 
 
 Which ever brings us nigher : 
 
 We clap our hands, exulting 
 
 In Thine almighty favour 
 The love divine, that made us Thine, 
 
 Shall keep us Thine for ever. 
 
 Thou dost conduct Thy people 
 
 Through torrents of temptation : 
 Nor will we fear, while Thou art near. 
 
 The fire of tribulation ; 
 
 The world, with sin and Satan, 
 
 In vain our march opposes, 
 By Thee we shall break through them all, 
 
 And sing the song of Moses. 
 
 r 
 
 By faith we see the glory 
 
 To which Thou shalt restore us. 
 
 The world despise, for that high prize 
 Which Thou hast set before us : 
 And, if Thou count us worthy. 
 We each, with dying Stephen, 
 
 Shall see Thee stand at God's right hand, 
 To call us up to heaven.

 VI. Processional. Six 8s. 7s. 
 
 Blessed city, heavenly Salem, 
 
 Vision dear of peace and love, _ ' 
 
 Who of living stones art builded 
 
 In the height of heaven above. 
 And, with Angel hosts encircled. 
 
 As a bride doth earthward move. 
 
6 
 
 From celestial realms descenrling, 
 Bridal glory round thee shed, 
 
 Meet for Him Whose love espoused thee, 
 To Thy Lord shalt thou be led ; 
 
 All thy streets and all thy bulwarks 
 Of pure gold are fashioned. 
 
 Bright thy gates of pearl are shining. 
 
 They are open evermore ; 
 And by virtue of His merits 
 
 Thither faithful souls do soar, 
 Who for Chrlst's dear Name in this world 
 
 Pain and tribulation bore. 
 
 Many a blow and biting sculpture 
 Polished well those stones ele ^' 
 
 In their places now conip.iate'' 
 By the heavenly Architect, 
 
 Who therewith hath willed for ever. 
 That His Palace should be decked. 
 
 Laud and honour to the Father, 
 Laud and honour to the Son, 
 
 Laud and honour to the Spirit, 
 Ever Three and ever One, 
 
 Consubstantial, Co-eternal, 
 
 While unending ages run. Amen. 
 
 VIL After third Collect. D. 8s. 7s. 
 
 Hark ! the sound of holy voices, 
 
 Chanting at the crystal sea 
 Alleluia, Alleluia, 
 
 Alleluia, Lord, to Thee : 
 Multitude, which none can number, 
 
 Like the stars in glory stands, 
 Clothed in white apparel, holding 
 
 Palms of victory in their hands. 
 
 Patriarch and holy Prophet 
 
 Who prepared the way of Christ, 
 King, Apostle, Saint, Confessor, 
 
 Martyr and Evangelist, 
 Saintly Maiden, godly Matron, 
 
 Widows who have watched to prayer. 
 Joined in holy concert singing 
 
 To the Lord of all, are there. 
 
 They have come from tribulation. 
 
 And have washed their robes in Blood 
 Washed them in the Blood of Jesu.s ; 
 
 Tried they were, and firm they stood ; 
 Mocked, imprisoned, stoned, tormented. 
 
 Sawn asunder, slain with sword. 
 They have conquered death and Satan 
 
 By the might of Christ the Lord. 
 
 Marching with Thy Cross their banner, 
 They have tiiumphed following 
 
Thee, the Captain of salvation, 
 
 Thee their Saviour 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. 
 
 Now they reign in heavenly glory, 
 
 Now they walk in golden light. 
 Now they drink as from a river, 
 
 Holy bliss and infinite ; 
 Love and peace they taste for ever. 
 
 And all truth and knowledge see 
 In the beatific Vision 
 
 Of the Blessed Trinity. 
 
 God of God, the One-begotten, 
 
 Light of Light, Emmanuel, 
 In Whose Body joined together 
 
 All the Saints for ever dwell, 
 Pour upon us of Thy fulness. 
 
 That we may for evermore 
 God the Father, God the Son, and 
 
 God the Holy Ghost adore. Amen. 
 
 VIIL After Evening Prayer. D. L. M. 
 
 Lord, cause Thy face on us to shine ; 
 Give us Thy peace, and seal us Thine : 
 Teach us to prize the means of grace, 
 And love Thy earthly dwellfng-place : 
 May we in truth our sins confeas. 
 Worship the Lord in holiness, 
 And all Thy power and glory see, 
 Within Thy hallow'd sanctuary. 
 
 Bless all whose voice salvation brings, 
 W^ho minister in holy things : ' 
 Our bishops, priests, and deacons bless : 
 Clothe them with zeal and righteousness. 
 Let many in the judgment day, 
 Turn'd from the error of their way. 
 Their hope, their joy, their crown appear ; 
 Save those who preach and those who hear. 
 
 O King of Salem, Prince of Peace, 
 Bid strife among Thy subjects cease : 
 One is our faith, and one our Lord : 
 One body, Spirit, hope, reward ; 
 One God and Father of us all, 
 On whom Thy Church and people call, 
 O may we one communion be, 
 One with each other, one in Thee. 
 
 IX. Recessional. Ss. 78. 
 
 Through the night of doubt and sorrow 
 Onward goes the pilgrim band, 
 
 Singing songs of expectation, 
 Marching to the Promised Land. 
 
Clear before us throngh the darknesa 
 Gleams and burns the guiding Light ; 
 
 Brother clasps the hand of brother, 
 Stepping fearless through the night. 
 
 One the light of God's own Presence 
 
 O'er His ransomed people shed, 
 Chasing far the gloom and terror, 
 
 Bri^htening all the p ith we tread. 
 
 One the object of our journey, 
 
 One the faith that never tires. 
 One the earnest looking forward. 
 
 One the hope our (iod inspires. 
 
 One the strain that lips of thousands 
 
 Lift as from the heart of one ; 
 One the conflict, one the peril. 
 
 One the march in God begun : 
 
 One the gladness of rejoicing 
 
 On the far eternal shore. 
 Where the one Almighty Fatheb 
 
 Eeigns in love for evermore. 
 
 ■- • Onward therefore, pilgrim brothers, 
 
 Onward with the Cross our aid ! 
 Bear its shame, and fight its battle, 
 Till we rest beneath its shade. 
 
 Soon shall come the great awaking, 
 
 Soon the rending of the tomb ; 
 Then the scattering of all shadows. 
 
 And the end of toil and gloom. Amen.

 X. 6fk 
 
 We love the place, O God, 
 
 Wherein Thine honor dwells ; 
 The joy of Thine abode 
 
 All earthly joys excels. 
 
 It is the house of prayer, 
 
 Wherein Thy servants meet I 
 t And Thou, Lord, art there 
 
 Thy chosen flock to greet. 
 
 We love the sacred Font ; 
 
 For there the Holy Dove 
 To pour is ever wont 
 
 His blessing from above. 
 
We love Thine Altar, Lghd ; 
 
 Oh, what on earth so dear ? 
 For there in faith adored. 
 
 We find Thy Presence .-tear. 
 
 We love the Word of life, 
 The Word that tells of peace, 
 
 Of comfort in the strife, 
 And joys that never cease. 
 
 We love to sing below 
 
 For mercies freely gi ven ; 
 But, oh, we lon<? to know 
 
 The triumph-song of heaven. 
 
 Lord Jesus, give us grace 
 On earth to love Thee more, 
 
 In heaven to see Thy Face, 
 
 And with Thy saints adore. Amen. 
 
 XI. D. 7'8. 
 
 Hark ! the song of Jubilee, 
 
 Loud as mighty thunder roar ; 
 Or the fulness of the sea, 
 
 When it breaks upon the shore. 
 Hallelujah ! for the Lord 
 
 God omnipotent shall reign : 
 Hallelujah ! let the word 
 
 Echo round the earth and main. 
 
 Hallelujah !— hark ! the sound. 
 
 From the centre to the skies, 
 Wakes above, beneath, around, 
 
 All creation's harmonies : 
 See Jehovah's banners furl'd, 
 
 Sheath'd His sword. He speaks— 'tis done ; 
 And the kingdoms of this world 
 
 Are the kingdoms of His Son. 
 
 He shall reign from pole to pole 
 
 With illimitable sway ; 
 He shall reign, when, like a scroll, 
 
 Yonder heavens have passed away. 
 Then the end : beneath His rod 
 
 Man's last enemy shall fall : 
 Hallelujah ! Christ in God, 
 
 God in Christ, is all in all. 
 
 XII. 7s. 6s. 
 
 BROTHERS, lift your voices, 
 
 Triumphant songs to raise ; 
 Till heaven on high rejoices. 
 
 And earth is filT'd with praise. 
 Ten thousand hearts are bounding 
 
 With holy hopes and free ; 
 The Gospel trump is sounding. 
 
 The trump of Jubilee.

 Christian brothers, glorious 
 
 Shall be the conflict's close : 
 The cross hath been victorious, 
 
 And shall be o'er its foes. 
 Faith is our battle-token : 
 
 Our Leader all controls ; 
 Our trophies, fetters broken ; 
 
 Our captives, ransom'd souls. 
 
 Not unto us — Lord Jesus, 
 
 To Thee all praise be due ; 
 Whose blood-bought uniercy frees us, 
 
 Hats freed our brethren too. 
 Not unto us — in glory 
 
 The angels catch the strain. 
 And cast their crovms before Thee 
 
 Exultingly again. 
 
 Captain of our salvation. 
 
 Thy presence we adore : 
 Praise, glory, adoration 
 
 Be Thine for evermore. 
 Still on in conflict pressing 
 
 On Thee Thy people call. 
 Thee King of kings confessing. 
 
 Thee crowning Lord of all. 
 
 XIII. S. M. 
 
 Stand up and bless the Lord, 
 
 Ye people of his choice : 
 Stand up, and bless the Lord your God 
 
 With heart and soul and voice. 
 
 Though high above all praise. 
 
 Above all blessing high, 
 Who would not fear His holy name, 
 
 And laud and magnify ? 
 
 for the living flame, 
 
 From his own altar brought, 
 To touch our lips, our minds inspire, 
 
 And wing to heaven our thought ! 
 
 God is our strength and song. 
 
 And His salvation ours ; 
 Then be His love in Christ proclaim'd, 
 
 With all our ransom'd powers. 
 
 Stand up and bless the Lord, 
 
 The liord your God adore ; 
 Stand up, and bless His glorious name, 
 
 Henceforth for evermore.
