O God, in whose great purpose

Author: James Gordon Gilkey Appears in 7 hymnals Used With Tune: PATMOS

Author: John H. Holmes Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O’er continent and ocean, From city, field, and wood, Still speak, O Lord, Thy messengers Of peace and brotherhood. In Athens and Benares, In Rome and Galilee, They fronted kings and conquerors, And taught mankind of Thee. 2. We hear, O Lord, these voices, And hail them as Thine own, They speak as speak the winds and tides On planets far and lone. One God, the life of ages, One rule, His will above, One realm our wide humanity, One law, the law of love. 3. The tribes and nations falter In rivalries of fear; The fires of hate to ashes turn, To dust the sword and spear. Thy Word alone remaineth; That word we speak again; O’er sea and shore and continent, To all the sons of men. Used With Tune: PATMOS (Storer)

I heard a sound of voices

Author: Godfrey Thring, 1823-1903 Appears in 64 hymnals 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. A-men. 3 I saw the holy city, The New Jerusalem, Come down from heaven, a bride adorned With jeweled diadem; The flood of crystal waters Flowed down the golden street; And nations brought their honors there, And laid them at her feet. 4 And there no sun was needed, Nor moon to shine by night, God's glory did enlighten all, The Lamb himself the light; And there his servants serve him, And, life's long battle o'er, Enthroned with him, their Saviour King, They reign for evermore. 5 O great and glorious vision, The Lamb upon his throne! O wondrous sight for man to see! The Saviour with his own: To drink the living waters And stand upon the shore, Where neither sorrow, sin, nor death Shall ever enter more. 6 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.

I Saw the Holy City

Author: Godfrey Thring Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I saw the holy city, The new Jerusalem, Come down from heaven a bride adorned With jeweled diadem; The flood of crystal waters Flowed down the goldens street; And nations brought their honors there, And laid them at her feet. 2 And there no sun was needed, Nor moon to shine by night, God’s glory did enlighten all, The Lamb Himself, the light; And there His servants serve Him, And, life’s long battle o’er, Enthroned with Him, their Saviour King, They reign forevermore. 3 O great and glorious vision! The Lamb unto His throne; O wondrous light for man to see! The Saviour with His own; To drink the living waters And stand upon the shore, Where neither sorrow, sin, or death Shall ever enter more. 4 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.
