Jesus is gone above the skies
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H59 (1789) Topics: Lord's Supper The Memorial of our absent Lord Lyrics: 1 Jesus is gone above the skies,
Where our weak senses reach him not;
And carnal objects court our eyes,
To thrust our Saviour from our thought.
2 He knows what wand'ring hearts we have,
Apt to forget his lovely face;
And, to refresh our minds, he gave
These kind memorials of his grace.
3 The Lord of life this table spread
With his own flesh and dying blood,
We on the rich provision feed,
And taste the wine, and bless our God.
4 Let sinful sweets be all forgot,
And earth grow less in our esteem;
Christ and his love fill ev'ry thought,
And faith and hope be fix'd on him.
5 While he is absent from our sight,
'Tis to prepare our souls a place,
That we may dwell in heav'nly light,
And live for ever near his face.
6 Our eyes look upwards to the hills
Whence our returning Lord shall come;
We wait thy chariot's awful wheels,
To fetch our longing spirits home. Languages: English

Not Alone for Mighty Empire
Author: William Pierson Merrill Hymnal: The Worshipbook #479 (1972) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Civil Year Memorial Day Lyrics: 1 Not alone for mighty empire
Stretching far beyond our view,
Not alone for bounteous harvests,
Lift we up our hearts to you.
Standing in the living present,
Memory and hope between,
Lord, we would with deep thanksgiving
Praise you most for things unseen.
2 Not for battleship and fortress,
Not for conquests of the sword,
But for conquests of the spirit
Give we thanks to you, O Lord;
For the priceless gift of freedom,
For the home, the church, the school,
For the open door to manhood
In a land the people rule.
3 For the armies of the faithful,
Souls that passed and left no name;
For the glory that illumines
Patriot lives of deathless fame;
For our prophets and apostles,
Loyal to the living Word,
For all heroes of the spirit,
Give we thanks to you, O Lord.
4 God of justice, save the people
From the clash of race and creed,
From the strife of class and faction:
Make our nation free indeed.
Keep her faith in simple manhood
Strong as when her life began,
Till it find its full fruition
In the brotherhood of man.
Amen. Scripture: James 1:22-27 Tune Title: GENEVA

O God, Beneath Your Guiding Hand
Author: Leonard Bacon Hymnal: The Worshipbook #495 (1972) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Civil Year Memorial Day Lyrics: 1 O God, beneath your guiding hand
Our exiled fathers crossed the sea;
And echoed o'er the wintry strand,
Their psalms and prayers in worship free.
2 You heard, well-pleased, the song, the prayer:
Your blessing came, and still its power
Shall onward through all ages bear
The memory of that holy hour.
3 Laws, freedom, truth, and faith in God
Came with those exiles o'er the waves,
And where their pilgrim feet have trod,
The God they trusted guards their graves.
4 And here your name, O God of love,
Their children's children shall adore,
Till these eternal hills remove,
And spring adorns the earth no more.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 8 Tune Title: DUKE STREET

Our exiled fathers crossed the sea;
And when they trod the wintry strand,
With prayer and psalm they worshiped Thee.
2 Thou heard'st, well pleased, the song, the prayer;
Thy blessing came; and still its pow'r
Shall onward thro' all ages bear
The memory of that holy hour.
3 Laws, freedom, truth, and faith in God
Came with those exiles o'er the waves;
And where their pilgrim feet have trod,
The God they trusted guards their graves.
4 And here Thy Name, O God of love,
Their children's children shall adore,
Till these eternal hills remove,
And spring adorns the earth no more.

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #811 (1995) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Funeral and memorial service First Line: Servant of God, well done! Lyrics: 1 Servant of God, well done!
Rest from your loved employ:
the battle fought, the victory won,
enter your Master's joy.
2 The pains of death are past;
labor and sorrow cease;
and life's long warfare closed at last,
your soul is found in peace.
3 Rest from your labor, rest,
soul of the just, set free;
blessed by your memory,
and blessed your bright example be.
4 Now, toil and conflict o'er,
go, take with saints your place;
but go as each has gone before,
a sinner saved by grace.
5 Soldier of Christ, well done!
Praise be your new employ,
and, while eternal ages run,
rest in your Savior's joy. Scripture: Matthew 25:21 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MICHAEL

Our God, Our Help in Ages Past
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Hymns for a Pilgrim People #1 (2007) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Memorial Occasions Lyrics: 1 Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home:
2 Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone,
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten as a dream
Dies at the op'ning day.
6 Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while life shall last
And our eternal home.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 90:1 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANNE
