HYMN

Praise to the Holiest in the height,And in the depth be praise;

In all his words most wonderful,Most sure in all his ways!

O loving wisdom of our God!When all was sin and shame,A second Adam to the fight

And to the rescue came.

O generous love! that he who smoteIn man for man the foe,

The double agony in ManFor man should undergo;

And in the garden secretly,And on the Cross on high,

Should teach his brethren, and inspireTo suffer and to die.

Praise to the Holiest in the height,And in the depth be praise;

In all his words most wonderful,Most sure in all his ways.

Cardinal John Henry Newman Richmond, composed by Thomas Haweis

HYMN

Thine be the glory, risen conquering Son,Endless is the victory, thou o’er death hast won;Angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away,

Kept the folded grave-clothes where thy body lay:Thine be the glory, risen, conquering Son,

Endless is the vict’ry thou o’er death hast won.

Lo, Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb;Lovingly he greets us, scatters fear and gloom;

Let the Church with gladness hymns of triumph sing,For her Lord now liveth, death hath lost its sting:

Thine be the glory, risen, conquering Son,Endless is the vict’ry thou o’er death hast won.

No more we doubt thee, glorious Prince of Life;Life is nought without thee; aid us in our strife,

Make us more than conquerors through thy deathless love;Bring us safe through Jordan, to thy home above:

Thine be the glory, risen, conquering Son,Endless is the vict’ry thou o’er death hast won.

PRAYERSThe Rector

A PRAYER OF JOHN DONNE

Bring us, O Lord God, at our last awakening, into the house and gate of heaven,to enter into that gate and dwell in that house where there shall be no darknessnor dazzling but one equal light, no noise nor silence but one equal music, no

fears nor hopes but one equal possession, no ends nor beginnings but one equal eternity, in the habitations of thy glory and dominion, world without end.

Amen.

THE NAVY HYMN

Eternal Father, strong to save,Whose arm doth bind the restless wave,

Who bidd’st the mighty ocean deepIts own appointed limits keep;O hear us when we cry to theeFor those in peril on the sea.

O Saviour, whose almighty wordThe winds and waves submissive heard,

Who walkedst on the foaming deep,And calm amid its rage didst sleep:

O hear us when we cry to theeFor those in peril on the sea.

O sacred Spirit, who didst broodUpon the chaos dark and rude,

Who bad’st its angry tumult cease,And gavest light and life and peace:

O hear us when we cry to theeFor those in peril on the sea.

O Trinity of love and power,Our brethren shield in danger’s hour;From rock and tempest, fore and foe,

Protect them whereso’er they go:And ever let there rise to thee

Glad hymns of praise from land and sea. William Whiting Melita, composed by John Bacchus Dykes Trumpet descant composed by Matthew Morley
