Entrance Hymn
Lord of all Hopefulness
Verse 1
Lord of all hopefulness, Lord of all joy
Whose trust, ever childlike, no cares can destroy
Be there at our waking, and give us, we pray
Your bliss in our hearts, Lord, at the break of the dayVerse 4
Lord of all gentleness, Lord of all calm
Whose voice is contentment, whose presence is balm
Be there at our sleeping, and give us, we pray
Your peace in our hearts, Lord, and the end of the day
Offertory Hymn
Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
Verse 1
Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
And with fear and trembling stand;
Ponder nothing earthly minded,
For, with blessing in His hand,
Christ our God to earth descendeth,
Our full homage to demand.Verse 2
King of kings, yet born of Mary,
As of old on earth He stood,
Lord of lords, in human vesture,
In the body and the blood.
He will give to all the faithful
His own self for heav'nly food.Verse 3
Rank on rank the host of heaven
Spreads its vanguard on the way,
As the Light of light descendeth
From the realms of endless day,
That the pow'rs of hell may vanish
As the darkness clears away.Verse 4
At His feet the six-winged seraph,
Cherubim with sleepless eye,
Veil their faces to the Presence,
As with ceaseless voice they cry,
“Alleluia, alleluia,
Alleluia, Lord Most High!”
Communion Hymn
In Every Age
Verse 1
Long before the mountains came to be
And the land and sea and stars of the night
Through the endless seasons of all time
You have always been
You will always beRefrain
In every age, O God, you have been our refuge
In every age, O God, you have been our hopeVerse 2
Destiny is cast, and at your silent word
We return to dust and scatter to the wind
A thousand years are like a single moment gone
As the light that fades
At the end of dayRefrain
In every age, O God, you have been our refuge
In every age, O God, you have been our hopeVerse 3
Teach us to make use of the time we have
Teach us to be patient even as we wait
Teach us to embrace our every joy and pain
To sleep peacefully
And to rise up strongFinal Refrain
In every age, O God, you have been our refuge
In every age, O God, you have been our hope
You have been our refuge
You have been our hope
