All Saint's Sunday Matins PRELUDE: PROCESSIONAL HYMN LEONI (YIGDAL) 1. The God of Abraham praise, Who reigns enthroned above; Ancient of everlasting days, And God of love; To Him uplift your voice, At whose supreme command From earth we rise, and seek the joys At his right hand. 2. Though nature's strength decay, And earth and hell withstand, To Canaan's bound we urge our way At His command. The watery deep we pass With Jesus in our view; And through the howling wilderness Our way pursue. 3. The goodly land we see With peace and plenty blest; A land of sacred liberty And endless rest; There milk and honey flow, And oil and wine abound, And trees of life for ever grow, With mercy crowned. 4. There dwells the Lord our King, The Lord our Righteousness, Triumphant o'er the world and sin, The Prince of Peace; On Zion's sacred height His kingdom he maintains, And glorious with his saints in light For ever reigns. 5. The God who reigns on high The great archangels sing, And 'Holy, holy, holy,' cry, 'Almighty King, Who was, and is, the same, And evermore shall be: Eternal Father, great I AM, We worship thee. 6. The whole triumphant host Give thanks to God on high; 'Hail, Father, Son and Holy Ghost!' They ever cry; Hail, Abraham's God, and mine! I join the heavenly lays. All might and majesty are thine, And endless praise. Amen. THE VERSICLES (spoken) O Lord, open thou my lips. AND MY MOUTH SHALL SHOW FORTH THY PRAISE. Make haste, 0 God, to deliver me. MAKE HASTE TO HELP ME, 0 LORD. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: AS IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING, IS NOW, AND EVER SHALL BE, WORLD WITHOUT END. AMEN. ALLELUIA. O come, let us worship the Lord. FOR HE IS OUR MAKER. VENITE EXULTEMUS (the Choir) THE PSALM: Bless the Lord, 0 my soul: AND ALL THAT IS WITHIN ME, BLESS HIS HOLY NAME. Bless the Lord, 0 my Soul: AND FORGET NOT ALL HIS BENEFITS; Who forgiveth all thine iniquities: WHO HEALETH ALL THY DISEASES; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: WHO CROWNETH THEE WITH LOVING KINDNESS AND TENDER MERCIES; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things: SO THAT THY YOUTH IS RENEWED LIKE THE EAGLE'S. The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment: FOR ALL THAT ARE OPPRESSED.
