Jerusalem the Golden

Author: Bernard of Cluny, 12th cent.; John Mason Neale, 1818-66 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 909 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 7:9-17 Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden, With milk and honey blest-- The promise of salvation, The place of peace and rest-- We know not, oh, we know not What joys await us there; The radiancy of glory, The bliss beyond compare! 2 Within those halls of Zion Sounds forth the joyful song, As saints join with the angels and all the martyr throng. The Prince is ever with them; The daylight is serene; The city of the blessed Shines bright with glorious sheen. 3 Around the throne of David, The saints, from care released, Raise loud their songs of triumph To celebrate the feast. They sing to Christ their leader, Who conquered in the fight, Who won for them forever Their gleaming robes of white. 4 O sweet and blessèd country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessed country That faithful hearts expect! In mercy, Jesus, bring us To that eternal rest With You and God the Father And Spirit, ever blest. Topics: End Times Used With Tune: EWING

Crown Him with Many Crowns

Author: Matthew Bridges Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 795 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 7:9-12 Lyrics: 1 Crown Him with many crowns, The Lamb upon His throne; Hark, how the heavenly anthem drowns All music but its own! Awake, my soul, and sing Of Him who died for thee, And hail Him as thy matchless King Through all eternity. 2 Crown Him the Lord of love; Behold His hands and side, Rich wounds, yet visible above, In beauty glorified: No angel in the sky Can fully bear that sight, But downward bends his burning eye At mysteries so bright. 3 Crown Him the Lord of peace; Whose power a scepter sways From pole to pole, that wars may cease, Absorbed in prayer and praise: His reign shall know no end; And round His piercèd feet Fair flowers of paradise extend Their fragrance ever sweet. 4 Crown Him the Lord of years, The Potentate of time; Creator of the rolling spheres, Ineffably sublime. All hail, Redeemer, hail! For Thou has died for me; Thy praise shall never, never fail Throughout eternity. Topics: Jesus Christ Kingship Used With Tune: DIADEMATA
