O Food of men wayfaring

Author: Athelstan Riley, 1858-1945 Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.6 Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Food of men wayfaring, The Bread of Angels sharing, O Manna from on high! We hunger; Lord, supply us, Nor thy delights deny us, Whose hearts to thee draw nigh. 2 O Stream of love past telling, O purest Fountain, welling From out the Saviour’s side! We faint with thirst; revive us, Of thine abundance give us, And all we need provide. 3 O Jesu, by thee bidden, We here adore thee, hidden ’Neath forms of bread and wine. Grant when the veil is riven, We may behold, in heaven, Thy countenance divine.

Sons of the Holy One bright with his splendour

Author: F. A. Judd Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Sons of the Holy One bright with his splendour, Wakened to life at creation's new day, First to uplift in the joy of surrender Spirits to worship and wills to obey. 2 Armies of Michael, a heavenly wonder, Crashed to the onset with evil on high, Till the proud angel, o'ercome by their thunder, Dropped on his darkening wings from the sky. 3 Stars of the morn, for creation returning Praise to the wisdom ordaining the whole, Hushed their glad songs, in amazement discerning God's very likeness in man's living soul. 4 Sentries of Paradise, knew ye no sorrow, Guarding the way with a flame of the sword? Visioned ye not on a glorious morrow Man by a tree to his Eden restored? 5 Gabriel came with his high salutation, Burning with ardour and eager in flight. 'Ave Maria!' The dawn of salvation Rose at its music and banished our night. 6 See, then, my soul, on a stairway all golden Angels ascending, descending again! Sion is here, if our eyes were not holden, Praise would not fail for their service to men. 7 Praise God for Michael, in strife our defender, Praise him for Raphael, our healer and guide, Praise him for guardians, watchful and tender, True to their charges in need at their side. 8 Laud to thee, Father of spirits supernal! We with the angels adore thee, O Son! Comforter holy, proceeding, eternal, In thee be glory to God, Three in One. Amen.
