Today’s hymn sung by St Martins in the Fields is: Alleluia, Alleluia, Hearts to heaven and voices raise

1 Alleluia, Alleluia!
hearts to heaven 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 heavenly 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.

Christopher Wordsworth (1807-1885)

Today’s hymn sung
by St Martins in the Fields is: For the Beauty of the Earth





1 For the beauty of the earth,

for the beauty of the skies,

for the love which from our birth

over and around us lies:

Lord of all, to thee we raise

this our sacrifice of praise.



2 For the beauty of each hour

of the day and of the night,

hill and vale, and tree and flower,

sun and moon and stars of light:

Chorus



3 For the joy of human love,

brother, sister, parent, child,

friends on earth, and friends above,

for all gentle thoughts and mild:

Chorus



4 For each perfect gift of thine

to our race so freely given,

graces human and divine,

flowers of earth and buds of heaven:

Chorus







Folliott Sandford Pierpoint (1835-1917)

Today’s hymn sung
by St Martins in the Fields is: Lord thy word abideth



1 Lord, thy word abideth,

and our footsteps guideth;

who its truth believeth

light and joy receiveth.



2 When our foes are near us,

then thy word doth cheer us,

word of consolation,

message of salvation.



3 When the storms are o'er us,

and dark clouds before us,

then its light directeth,

and our way protecteth.



4 Who can tell the pleasure,

who recount the treasure,

by thy word imparted

to the simple-hearted?



5 Word of mercy, giving

succour to the living;

word of life, supplying

comfort to the dying.



6 O that we discerning

its most holy learning,

Lord, may love and fear thee,

evermore be near thee.







Henry Williams Baker (1821-1877)
