        Henceforth for evermore. 5/5                            peace, And the mountains and the hills shall

        389 Saviour, blessed Saviour,                           There'll be shouts of joy and the trees of the
        Verse 1 Saviour, blessed Saviour,  listen while         field shall clap, shall clap their hands,
        we sing; Hearts and voices raising  praises to
        our King :                                              and the trees of the field shall clap their hands
                                                                and the trees of the field shall clap their hands
        All we have we offer,  all we hope to be,  Body,
        soul, and spirit,  all we yield to thee. 1/5            and the trees of the field shall clap their hands
                                                                and you'll go out with joy.

        Nearer, ever nearer,                                    391 Christ, from whom all
        Christ, we draw to thee,  Deep in adoration,            blessings flow,
        bending low the knee.
                                                                Verse 1
        Thou, for our redemption,                               Christ, from whom all blessings flow,
        Cam'st on earth to die; Thou, that we might             Perfecting the saints below,
        follow,  hast gone up on high. 2/5                      Hear us, who Thy nature share,  Who Thy
                                                                mystic body are.
        Verse 3
                                                                Verse 2
        Clearer still, and clearer,  dawns the light from
        heaven, In our sadness bringing  news of sin            Join us, in one spirit join,
        forgiven;                                               Let us still receive of thine;
                                                                Still for more on thee we call,  Thou who fillest
        Life has lost its shadows,  pure the light within;      all in all.
        Thou hast shed thy radiance  on a world of sin.
        3/5                                                     Verse 3
                                                                Move, and actuate, and guide :
        Verse 4                                                 Divers gifts to each divide;
        Onward, ever onward,  journeying o'er the road          Placed according to Thy will, Let us all our work
        Worn by saints before us,  journeying on to god;        fulfil.

                                                                Verse 4 Sweetly may we all agree,
        Leaving all behind us,  may we hasten on,
        Backward never looking  till the prize is won. 4/5      Touched with loving sympathy:
                                                                Kindly for each other care;
                                                                Every member feel its share.
        Verse 5 Higher then, and higher,  bear the
        ransomed soul,  Earthly toils forgotten,  Saviour,
        to its goal;                                            Verse 5
                                                                Love, like death, has all destroyed,
        Where, in joys unthought of,  saints with angels        Rendered all distinctions void;
        sing,  Never weary, raising  praises to their King.     Names, and sects, and parties fall:  Thou, O
                                                                Christ, art all in all.
