Walk-ing in all Thy ways, we find Our heaven on earth be- gun.

Alleluia is the anthem Of the choirs in heaven-ly day,

Anon. (Latin, 11th cent.). Verses 1, 2, 4, trans. by Rev. John M. Neale, 1851: verse 4, line 3, alt.; verse 3 trans. in Cooke and Denton's "Hymnal," 1853

1 Happy the souls to Jesus joined,
And saved by grace alone;
Walking in all Thy ways, we find
Our heaven on earth begun.

3 Thee in Thy glorious realm they praise,
And bow before Thy throne,
We in the kingdom of Thy grace;
The kingdoms are but one.

2 The Church triumphant in Thy love, 4 The holy to the holiest leads;

Their mighty joys we know;

They sing the Lamb in hymns above,

And we in hymns below.

From hence our spirits rise;

And he that in Thy statutes treads
Shall meet Thee in the skies.

Rev. Charles Wesley, 1745

O how our hearts beat high with joy When-e'er we hear that glorious word:

Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to thee till death. A - MEN.

2 Our fathers, chained in prisons dark, 3 Faith of our fathers! God's great power Were still in heart and conscience

free;

And blest would be their children's fate
If they, like them, should die for thee:

Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.

Shall win all nations unto thee; And through the truth that comes

from God

Mankind shall then indeed be free:
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.

4 Faith of our fathers! we will love

Both friend and foe in all our strife,
And preach thee, too, as love knows how
By kindly words and virtuous life:
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.

Rev. Frederick W. Faber, 1849: verse 2, line

4; verse 3. lines 1-4. alt
