Faith of our fathers, taught of old

Author: T. A. Lacey, 1853-1931 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #479 (1986) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 D Topics: The Church Its Mission and Unity; St. David, Patron of Wales March 1st; Saints of England November 8th; Dedication Festival; Common of Saints Lyrics: 1 Faith of our fathers, taught of old By faithful shepherds of the fold. The hallowing of our nation; Thou wast through many a wealthy year, Through many a darkened day of fear The rock of our salvation. Arise, arise, good Christian men, Your glorious standard raise again, The Cross of Christ who calls you; Who bids you live and bids you die For his great cause, and stands on high To witness what befalls you. 2 *Our fathers heard the trumpet call Through lowly cot and kingly hall From oversea resounding: They bowed their stubborn wills to learn The truths that live, the thoughts that burn, With new resolve abounding. *Arise, arise, good Christian men, Your glorious standard raise again, The Cross of Christ who guides you; Whose arm is bared to join the fray, Who marshals you in stern array. Fearless, whate'er betides you. 3 Our fathers held the faith received, By Saints declared, by Saints believed. By Saints in death defended; Through pain of doubt and bitterness, Through pain of treason and distress, They for the right contended. Arise, arise, good Christian men, Your glorious standard raise again, The Cross of Christ who bought you; Who leads you forth in this new age With long-enduring hearts to wage The warfare he has taught you. 4 *Though frequent be the loud alarms, Though still we march by ambushed arms Of death and hell surrounded, With Christ for chief we fear no foe, Nor force nor craft can overthrow The Church that he has founded. *Arise, arise, good Christian men, Your glorious standard raise again, The Cross where with he signed you; The King himself shall lead you on, Shall watch you till the strife be done. Then near his throne shall find you. Languages: English Tune Title: O MENSCH BEWEIN

Lord God, We All Give Praise To Thee

Thy fold, that little flock, O Lord, That holds in honor Thy blest Word! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: OLD HUNDREDTH

Though Angels Bright Escape Our Sight

And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song. 4 'Mid 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. 5 Yet she on earth hath union With God the Three in One, And mystic sweet communion With those whose rest is won: O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with thee. Languages: English Tune Title: SOMERSTOWN

These are Thy messengers; these dost Thou send, Help of the helpless ones, man to defend. 3 Still let them stand be our side in the fight, Lord of angelic hosts, battling for right, Till, where their anthems they ceaselessly pour, We with the angels may bow and adore.

Their gospel of redemption, Sin pardoned, man restored, Was all in this enfolded, One Church, one Faith, one Lord. 4 And we, shall we be faithless? Shall hearts fail, hands hang down? Shall we evade the conflict, And cast away our crown? Not so: in God's deep counsels Some better thing is stored; We will maintain, unflinching, One church, one Faith, one Lord. 5 Thy mercy will not fail us, Nor leave thy work undone; With thy right hand to help us, The victory shall be won; And then, by men and angels, Thy name shall be adored, And this shall be their anthem, One Church, one Faith, one Lord.

The word of love he speaks can wake a heart of stone; for at that sound the blind can see, the slave is free, the lost are found. 3 Christ is the one who died forsaken and betrayed; who, mocked and crucified, the price of pardon paid. Our dying Lord, what grief and loss, what bitter cross, our souls restored! 4 Christ is the one who rose in glory from the grave, to share his life with those whom once he died to save. He drew death's sting and broke its chains, who lives and reigns, our risen King. 5 Christ is the one who sends, his story to declare; who calls his servants friends and gives them news to share. His truth proclaim in all the earth, his matchless worth and saving name. Scripture: Matthew 28:18-20 Languages: English Tune Title: LOVE UNKNOWN
