The great forerunner of the morn
Author: The Venerable Bede, 673-735; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: The Hymnal 1982 #272 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Holy Days and Various Occasions The Nativity of Saint John the Baptist (June 24) Lyrics: 1. The great forerunner of the morn,
the herald of the Word, is born;
and faithful hearts shall never fail
with thanks and praise his light to hail.
2. With heavenly message Gabriel came,
that John should be that herald's name,
and with prophetic utterance told
his actions great and manifold.
3. John, still unborn, yet gave aright
his witness to the coming light;
and Christ, the Sun of all the earth,
fulfilled that witness at his birth.
4. His mighty deeds exalt his fame
to greater than a prophet's name;
of woman born shall never be
a greater prophet than was he.
5. To God the Father, God the Son,
and God the Spirit, Three in One,
praise, honor, might, and glory be
from age to age eternally. Languages: English Tune Title: THE TRUTH FROM ABOVE

Hark! the sound of holy voices
Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Hymnal: The Hymnal 1982 #275 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Holy Days and Various Occasions Saints' Days: All Saints' Day (November 1) Lyrics: 1. 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.
2. Patriarch, and holy prophet,
who prepared the way for 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.

who fell by fire and sword,
or early died or flourished long,
we praise thy Name, 0 Lord.
2. For James who left his father's side,
not lingering by the sea:
he heard what could not be denied,
thy summons, "Follow me";
3. he stood with thee beside the dead;
he climbed the mount with thee,
and saw the glory round thy head,
one of thy chosen three;
4. he knelt beneath the olive shade;
he drank thy cup of pain;
and slain by Herod's flashing blade,
he saw thy face again.
5. Lord, may we learn to drink thy cup,
and meek and firm be found,
when thou shalt come to take us up
where thine elect are crowned.

who strove in thee to live,

with thee their Lord in view,
learned from thy Holy Spirit's breath
to suffer and to do.
3. Thine earthly members fit
to join thy saints above,
in one communion ever knit,
one fellowship of love.
4. Jesus, thy Name we bless
and humbly pray that we
may follow them in holiness,
who lived and died for thee.

of the starry host is known:
many saints by earth forgotten
live for ever round your throne.
2. In the roll of your apostles
stands the name Bartholomew,
for this faithful saint we offer,
year by year, our thanks to you.
3. All his faith, and prayer, and patience,
all his toiling, and his strife,
all are veiled from us, but written
in the Lamb's great book of life.
4. There are named the blessed faithful
of the new Jerusalem.
When Christ comes again in glory,
number us, we pray, with them,

Author: William Bright, 1824-1901 Hymnal: The Hymnal 1982 #281 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Holy Days and Various Occasions Saint Matthew (Septmber 21) Lyrics: 1. He sat to watch o'er customs paid,
a man of scorned and hardening trade,
alike the symbol and the tool
of foreign master's hated rule.
2. But grace within his heart had stirred,
there needed but the timely word;
it came, true Lord of souls, from thee,
that royal summons, "Follow me."
3. Enough, when thou wast passing by,
to hear thy voice, to meet thine eye;
he rose, responsive to the call,
and left his task, his gains, his all.
4. O wise exchange! with these to part,
and lay up treasures in the heart;
let them of Matthew's wealth partake,
who yield up all for Jesus' sake.
