10 Christopher Wordsworth (1807-1885)
1. Alleluia, alleluia,
hearts to heav'n and voices raise;
sing to God a hymn of gladness,
sing to God a hymn of praise:
he who on the cross a victim
for the world's salvation bled,
Jesus Christ, the King of Glory,
now is risen from the dead.
2. Christ is risen, Christ the first-fruits
of the holy harvest field,
which will all its full abundance
at his second coming yield;
then the golden ears of harvest
will their heads before him wave,
ripened by his glorious sunshine,
from the furrows of the grave.
3. Christ is risen, we are risen;
shed upon us heav'nly grace,
rain, and dew, and gleams of glory
from the brightness of thy face;
that we, with our hearts in heaven,
here on earth may fruitful be,
and by angel-hands be gathered,
and be ever, Lord, with thee.
4. Alleluia, alleluia,
glory be to God on high;
alleluia to the Saviour,
who has gained the victory;
alleluia to the Spirit,
fount of love and sanctity;
alleluia, alleluia,
to the Triune Majesty.

1. Alleluia, sing to Jesus,
his the sceptre, his the throne;
alleluia, his the triumph,
his the victory alone:
hark, the songs of peaceful Sion
thunder like a mighty flood:
Jesus, out of ev'ry nation,
hath redeemed us by his blood.
2. Alleluia, not as orphans
are we left in sorrow now;
alleluia, he is near us,
faith believes, nor questions how;
though the cloud from sight received him
when the forty days were o'er,
shall our hearts forget his promise,
`I am with you evermore'?
3. Alleluia, bread of angels,
here on earth our food, our stay;
alleluia, here the sinful
come to you from day to day.
Intercessor, friend of sinners,
earth's redeemer, plead for me,
where the songs of all the sinless
sweep across the crystal sea.
4. Alleluia, King eternal,
lie the Lord of, lords we own;
alleluia, born of Mary,
earth his footstool, heav'n his throne;
he within the veil has entered
robed in flesh, our great High Priest;
he on earth both priest and victim
in the Eucharistic Feast.

1. All for Jesus! All for Jesus!
This our song shall ever be;
for we have no hope nor Saviour
if we have not hope in thee.
2. All for Jesus! thou wilt give us
strength to serve thee hour by hour;
none can move us from thy presence
while we trust thy love and pow'r.
3. All for Jesus! at thine altar
thou doss give us sweet content;
there, dear Saviour, we receive thee
in thy holy sacrament.
4. All for Jesus! thou hast loved us,
all for Jesus! thou hast died,
all for Jesus! thou art with us,
all for Jesus, glorified!
5. All for Jesus! All for Jesus!
This the Church's song shall be,
till at last the flock is gathered
one in love, and one in thee.

13 St Theodulph of Orleans (d. 821) trans. John Mason Neale (1818-1866)
All glory laud and honour,
to thee, Redeemer King,
to whom the lips of children
made sweet hosannas ring.
1. Thou art the King of Israel,
thou David's royal Son,
Who in the Lord's name comest,
the King and blessed one.
2. The company of angels
are praising thee on high,
and mortals, joined with all things,
created, make reply.
3. The people of the Hebrews
with palms before thee went:
our praise and prayer and anthems
before thee we present.
4. To thee before thy passion
they sang their hymns of praise:
to thee now high exalted
our melody we raise.
5. Thou didst accept their praises,
accept the prayers we bring,
who in all good delightest,
thou good and gracious king.

1. All hail the pow'r of Jesus' name,
let angels prostrate fall;
bring forth the royal diadem
and crown him, crown him, crown him,
crown him Lord of all.
2. Crown him, all martyrs of your God,
who from his altar call;
praise him whose way of pain you trod,
and crown him ...
3. O prophets faithful to his Word,
in matters great and small,
Who made his voice of justice heard,
now crown him …
4. All sinners, now redeemed by grace,
who heard your Saviour's call,
now robed in light before his face,
O crown him ...
5. Let every tribe and every race
who heard the freedom call,
in liberation, see Christ's face,
and crown him ...
6. Let every people, every tongue
to him their heart enthral:
lift high the universal song
and crown him ...

1. All heav'n declares
the glory of the risen Lord.
Who can compare
with the beauty of the Lord?
For ever he will be
the Lamb upon the throne.
I gladly bow the knee
and worship him alone.
2. I will proclaim
the glory of the risen Lord.
Who once was slain
to reconcile us all to God.
For ever you will be
the Lamb upon the throne.
I gladly bow the knee

17 Traditional
1. All in an Easter garden,
before the break of day,
an angel came from heaven
and rolled the stone away.
When Jesus' friends came seeking,
with myrrh and spices rare,
they found the angels at the door,
but Jesus was not there.
2. All in an Easter garden,
where water lilies bloom,
the angels gave their message
beside an empty tomb:
`The Lord is here no longer,
come, see where once he lay;
the Lord of life is ris'n indeed,
for this is Easter day.'

1. All I once held dear, built my life upon,
all this world reveres, and wars to own,
all I once thought gain I have counted loss;
spent and worthless now, compared to this.
Knowing you, Jesus, knowing you,
there is no greater thing.
You're my all, you're the best,
you're my joy, my righteousness,
and I love you, Lord.
2. Now my heart's desire is to know you more,
to be found in you and known as yours.
To possess by faith what I could not earn,
all-surpassing gift of righteousness.
3. Oh, to know the pow'r of your risen life,
and to know you in your sufferings.
To become like you in your death, my Lord,
so with you to live and never die.

19 Robert Bridges (1844-1930), based on Meine Hoffnung Stehet feste byJoachin Neander (1650-1680)
1. All my hope on God is founded;
he doth still my trust renew.
Me through change and chance he guideth,
only good and only true.
God unknown, he alone
calls my heart to be his own.
2. Human pride and earthly glory,
sword and crown betray his trust;
what with care and toil he buildeth,
tow'r and temple, fall to dust.
But God's pow'r, hour by hour,
is my temple and my tow'r.
3. God's great goodness aye endureth,
deep his wisdom, passing thought:
splendour, light and life attend him,
beauty springeth out of naught.
Evermore, from his store,
new-born worlds rise and adore.
4. Still from earth to God eternal
sacrifice of praise be done,
high above all praises praising
for the gift of Christ his Son.
Christ doth call one and all:
ye who follow shall not fall.

Pray the Lord my soul to keep,
angels watchin' over me.

1. All over the world the Spirit is moving,
all over the world,
as the prophets said it would be.
All over the world
there's a mighty revelation
of the glory of the Lord,
as the waters cover the sea.
2. All over this land the Spirit is moving ...
2. All over the Church the Spirit is moving ...
4. All over us all the Spirit is moving ...

22 William Kethe (d. 1594)
1. All people that on earth do dwell,
sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;
him serve with fear, his praise forth tell,
come ye before him and rejoice.
2. The Lord, ye know, is God indeed,
without our aid he did us make;
we are his folk, he doth us feed
and for his sheep he doth us take.
3. O enter then his gates with praise,
approach with joy his courts unto;
praise, laud and bless his name always,
for it is seemly so to do.
4. For why? the Lord our God is good:
his mercy is for ever sure;
his truth at all times firmly stood,
and shall from age to age endure.
5. To Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
the God whom heav'n and earth adore,
from us and from the angel-host
be praise and glory evermore.

23 Charles Wesley (1707-1788)
1. All praise to our redeeming Lord,
who joins us by his grace,
and bids us, each to each restored,
together seek his face.
2. He bids us build each other up;
and, gathered into one,
to our high calling's glorious hope
we hand in hand go on.
3. The gift which he on one bestows,
we all delight to prove;
the grace through every vessel flows,
in purest streams of love.
4. Ev'n now we think and speak the same,
and cordially agree;
concentred all, through Jesu's name,
in perfect harmony.
5. We all partake the joy of one,
the common peace we feel,
a peace to sensual minds unknown,
a joy unspeakable.
6. And if our fellowship below
in Jesus be so sweet,
what heights of rapture shall we know
when round his throne we meet!

26 Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895)
All things bright and beautiful,
all creatures great and small,
all things wise and wonderful,
the Lord God made them all.
1. Each little flow'r that opens,
each little bird that sings,
he made their glowing colours,
he made their tiny wings.
2. The purple-headed mountain,
the river running by,
the sunset and the morning
that brightens up the sky.
3. The cold wind in the winter,
the pleasant summer sun,
the ripe fruits in the garden,
he made them every one.
4. The tall trees in the greenwood,
the meadows for our play,
the rushes by the water,
to gather ev'ry day.
5. He gave us eyes to see them,
and lips that we might tell
how great is God Almighty,
who has made all things well.

1. All who would valiant be,
'gainst all disaster,
let them in constancy
follow their Master.
There's no discouragement
shall make them once relent
the first avowed intent
to be a pilgrim.
2. Those who beset them round
with dismal stories,
do but themselves confound –
their strength the more is.
No foe(s) shall stay their might,
though they with giants fight:
they will make good the right
to be a pilgrim.
3. Since, Lord, thou doss defend
us with thy Spirit,
we know we at the end
shall life inherit.
Then fancies flee away,
we'll fear not what they say,
we'll labour night and day
to be a pilgrim.

1. All you who seek a comfort sure
in trouble and distress,
whatever sorrow vex the mind,
or guilt the soul oppress.
2. Jesus, who gave himself for you
upon the cross to die,
opens to you his sacred heart;
O, to that heart draw nigh.
3. You hear how kindly he invites;
you hear his words so blest:
All you that labour, come to me,
and I will give you rest.'
4. What meeker than the Saviour's heart?
As on the cross he lay,
it did his murderers forgive,
and for their pardon pray.
5. Jesus, the joy of saints on high,
the hope of sinners here,
attracted by those loving words
to you I lift my prayer.
6. Wash then my wounds in that dear blood
which forth from you does flow;
by grace a better hope inspire,
and risen life bestow.

29 Somerset Corry Lowry (1855-1932)
1. A man there lived in Galilee
like none who lived before,
for he alone from first to last
our flesh unsullied wore;
a perfect life of perfect deeds
once to the world was shown,
that people all might mark his steps
and in them plant their own.
2. A man there died on Calvary
above all others brave;
the human race he saved and blessed,
himself he scorned to save.
No thought can gauge the weight of woe
on him, the sinless, laid;
we only know that with his blood
our ransom price was paid.
3. A man there reigns in glory now,
divine, yet human still;
that human which is all divine
death sought in vain to kill.
All pow'r is his; supreme he rules
the realms of time and space;
yet still our human cares and needs
find in his heart a place.

30 vs. 1-4 John Newton (1725-1807) alt. v. 5 John Rees (1828-1900)
1. Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I'm found;
was blind, but now I see.
2. 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed.
3. Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come.
'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
4. The Lord has promised good to me,
his word my hope secures;
he will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures.
5. When we've been there a thousand years,
bright shining as the sun,
we've no less days to sing God's praise
than when we first begun.

31 Charles Wesley (1707-1788)
1. And can it be that I should gain
an int'rest in the Saviour's blood?
Died he for me, who caused his pain?
For me, who him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be
that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
Amazing love! How can it be
that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
2. 'Tis myst'ry all! th'Immortal dies:
who can explore his strange design?
In vain the first-born seraph tries
to sound the depths of love divine!
'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore,
let angel minds inquire no more.
3. He left his Father's throne above so free,
so infinite his grace;
emptied himself of abut love,
and bled for Adam's helpless race;
'tis mercy all, immense and free;
for, O my God, it found out me.
4. Long my imprisoned spirit lay
fast bound in sin and nature's night;
thine eye diffused a quickening ray,
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
my chains fell off, my heart was free;
I rose, went forth, and followed thee.
5. No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in him, is mine!
Alive in him, my living Head,
and clothed in righteousness divine,
bold I approach the eternal throne,
and claim the crown, through Christ my own.

32 William Blake (1757-1827)
1. And did those feet in ancient time
walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
on England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
among those dark satanic mills?
2. Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
till we have built Jerusalem
in England's green and pleasant land.

1. And now, O Father, mindful of the love
that bought us, once for all, on Calv'ry's tree,
and having with us him that pleads above,
we here present, we here spread forth to thee
that only off’ring perfect in thine eyes,
the one true, pure, immortal sacrifice.
2. Look, Father, look on his anointed face,
and only look on us as found in him;
look not on our misusings of thy grace,
our prayer so languid, and our faith so dim:
for lo, between our sins and their reward
we set the Passion of thy Son our Lord.
3. And then for those, our dearest and our best,
by this prevailing presence we appeal:
O fold them closer to thy mercy's breast,
O do thine utmost for their souls' true weal;
from tainting mischief keep them pure and clear,
and crown thy gifts with strength to persevere.
4. And so we come: O draw us to thy feet,
most patient Saviour, who canst love us still;
and by this food, so aweful and so sweet,
deliver us from every touch of ill:
in thine own service make us glad and free,
and grant us never more to part with thee.
