Come, ye faithful, raise the anthem

Author: Job Hupton, 1762-1849; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #131 (2000) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Year A Proper 18; Year B Proper 18 Lyrics: 1 Come, ye faithful, raise the anthem, cleave the skies with shouts of praise; sing to him who found the ransom, Ancient of eternal days, God of God, the Word incarnate, whom the heav'n of heav'n obeys. 2 Ere he raised the lofty mountains, formed the seas, or built the sky, love eternal, free and boundless, moved the Lord of life to die, fore-ordained the Prince of princes for the throne of Calvary. 3 There, for us and our redemption, see him all his life-blood pour! There he wins our full salvation, dies that we may die no more; then arising, lives for ever, reigning where he was before. 4 High on yon celestial mountains stands his sapphire throne, all bright, midst unending alleluias bursting from the saints in light; Sion's people tell his praises, victor after hard-won fight. 5 Bring your harps, and bring your incense, sweep the string and pour the lay; let the earth proclaim his wonders, King of that celestial day; he the Lamb once slain is worthy, who was dead, and lives for ay. 6 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.

Lyrics: 1 O Christian, love your sister and your brother! Where pity dwells, the peace of God is there; to worship rightly is to love each other, each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer. 2 Follow with reverent steps the great example: Jesus whose holy work was doing good; so shall the wide earth seem a hallowed temple, each loving life a psalm of gratitude. 4 Then shall all shackles fall; the stormy clangour of wild war-music o'er the earth shall cease; love shall tread out the baleful fire of anger, and in its ashes plant the tree of peace.

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life

Author: Frank Mason North Hymnal: Voices United #681 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Proper 18 Year B Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life, where sound the cries of race and clan, above the noise of selfish strife, we hear your voice of life again. 2 In haunts of wretchedness and need, on shadowed thresholds, dark with fears, from paths where hide the lures of greed, we catch the vision of your tears. 3 The cup of water given for you still holds the freshness of your grace; yet long these multitudes to view the strong compassion of your face. 4 O Master, from the mountainside make haste to heal these hearts of pain; among these restless throngs abide, and tread the city's streets again, 5 till all the world shall learn your love and follow where your feet have trod, till glorious from your heaven above shall come the city of our God.
