through all eternity.

and rose victorious in the strife
for those he came to save.

who died eternal life to bring,
and lives that death may die.

His reign shall know no end;
and round his pierced feet
fair flowers of paradise extend
their fragrance ever sweet.

rich wounds yet visible above
in beauty glorified.

thy praise shall never, never fail
throughout eternity. Topics: Jesus, the Lamb; Praise of God; Reign of Christ; Ascension and Exaltation Used With Tune: DIADEMATA

our Christ has brought us over
with hymns of victory.

that we may see aright
the Lord in rays eternal
of resurrection light,
and listening to his accents,
may hear, so calm and plain,
his own “All hail!” and hearing,
may raise the victor strain.
3 Now let the heavens be joyful;
let earth its song begin;
the round world keep high triumph
and all that is therein.
Let all things seen and unseen
their notes of gladness blend,
for Christ the Lord has risen,
our joy that has no end. Topics: Christian Year Easter Vigil; Christian Year Resurrection/Easter; Jesus Christ Resurrection; Christian Year Easter Used With Tune: LANCASHIRE

thy rule, O Christ, begin;
break with thine iron rod
the tyrannies of sin.

and purity and love?
When shall all hatred cease,
as in the realms above?
3 When comes the promised time
that war shall be no more,
and lust, oppression, crime
shall flee thy face before?
4 We pray thee, Lord, arise,
and come in thy great might;
revive our longing eyes,
which languish for thy sight.

and wolves devour thy fold;
by many deeds of shame
we learn that love grows cold.

arise, and never set. Topics: Advent; Evangelism; Harvest Festival; Hope and Consolation; Year A Epiphany 3; Year A Sunday Next Before Lent; Year B All Saints; Year C Easter 5; Year C Proper 12 Used With Tune: ST CECILIA

Lord of lords and King of kings,
with your living fire of judgement
purge this land of bitter things;
solace all its wide dominion
with the healing of your wings.

for the hour that brings release;
and the city's crowded clangour
cries aloud for sin to cease;
and the homesteads and the woodlands
plead in silence for their peace.

cleave our darkness with your sword;
feed the faithless and the hungry
with the richness of your word;
cleanse the body of this nation
through the glory of the Lord. Topics: Our Response to God in intercession and petition; The Church Celebrates National Life; God in judgement and justice; Nation and Society; Word of God Used With Tune: RHUDDLAN
