Jerusalem the golden

Author: Bernard of Cluny, 12th century; Rev. John M. Neale Hymnal: HPAG1933 #435a (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden, With milk and honey blest! Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice oppressed. I know not, O I know not, What joys await us there; What radiancy of glory, What bliss beyond compare. 2 They stand, those halls of Zion, All jubilant with song, And bright with many an angel, And all the martyr throng. The Prince is ever in them, The daylight is serene; The pastures of the blessed Are decked in glorious sheen. 3 There is the throne of David; And there, from care released, The song of them that triumph, The shout of them that feast; And they who with their Leader Have conquered in the fight, Forever and forever Are clad in robes of white. 4 O sweet and blessed country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessed country That eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest; Who art, with God the Father And Spirit, ever blest. Amen.

O mother dear, Jerusalem

Author: "F. B. P.," 16th century Hymnal: HPAG1933 #436 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 O mother dear, Jerusalem, When shall I come to thee? When shall my sorrows have an end? Thy joys when shall I see? O happy harbor of the saints! O sweet and pleasant soil! In thee no sorrow may be found, No grief, no care, no toil. 2 Thy gardens and thy gallant walks Continually are green, They grow such sweet and pleasant flowers As nowhere else are seen. Right through the streets, with silver sound, The living waters flow, And on the banks, on either side, The trees of life do grow. 3 Those trees forevermore bear fruit, And evermore do spring; Then evermore the angels are, And evermore do sing. Jerusalem, my happy home, Would God I were in thee! Would God my woes were at an end, Thy joys that I might see! Amen.

I heard a sound of voices

Author: Rev. Godfrey Thring Hymnal: HPAG1933 #437 (1950) Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 I heard a sound of voices Around the great white throne, With harpers harping on their harps To Him that sat thereon: "Salvation, glory, honor," I heard the song arise, As through the courts of heaven it rolled In wondrous harmonies. 2 From every clime and kindred, And nations from afar, As serried ranks returning home In triumph from a war, I heard the saints upraising, The myriad hosts among, In praise of Him who died, and lives, Their one glad triumph song. 3 O Lamb of God Who reignest, Thou Bright and Morning Star, Whose glory lightens that new earth Which now we see from far; O worthy Judge Eternal, When Thou dost bid us come, Then open wide the gates of pearl, And call Thy servants home. Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting; All Saints' Day; Eternal Life; Funeral Services; Heaven; Immortal Life; Processionals; Saints, Communion of Tune Title: PATMOS

Sunset and evening star

Author: Alfred Tennyson Hymnal: HPAG1933 #438 (1950) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar When I put out to sea, 2 But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. 3 Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell When I embark; 4 For, though from out our bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar. Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting; Eternal Life; Funeral Services; Heaven; Immortal Life Tune Title: CROSSING THE BAR

Father, in Thy gracious keeping Leave we now Thy servant sleeping. 3 "Earth to earth, and dust to dust"; Calmly now the words we say; Left behind, we wait in trust, For the resurrection-day. Father, in Thy gracious keeping Leave we now Thy servant sleeping. Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting; Eternal Life; Funeral Services; Heaven; Immortal Life Tune Title: REQUIESCAT

I think when I read that sweet story of old

Author: Jemima Luke Hymnal: HPAG1933 #442a (1950) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 I think when I read that sweet story of old, When Jesus was here among men, How He called little children as lambs to His fold, I should like to have been with them then. 2 I wish that His hands had been placed on my head, That His arms had been thrown around me, And that I might have seen His kind look when He said, "Let the little ones come unto Me." 3 Yet still to His footstool in prayer I may go, And know that I share in His love; And if I now earnestly serve Him below, I shall see Him and hear Him above. 4 I long for the joy of that glorious time, The sweetest and brightest and best, When the dear little children of every clime All shall crowd to His arms and be blest.
