Eternal Glory of the Sky
Author: Ambrose of Milan; John M. Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Eternal Glory of the sky,
Blest Hope of frail humanity,
The Father’s sole begotten One,
Yet born a spotless virgin’s Son!
2. Uplift us with Thine arm of might,
And let our hearts rise pure and bright,
And, ardent in God’s praises, pay
The thanks we owe him every day.
3. The day-star’s rays are glittering clear,
And tell that day itself is near:
The shadows of the night depart;
Thou, holy Light, illume the heart!
4. Within our senses ever dwell,
And worldly darkness thence expel;
Long as the days of life endure,
Preserve our souls devout and pure.
5. The faith that first must be possessed,
Root deep within our inmost breast;
And joyous hope in second place,
Then charity, Thy greatest grace.
6. All laud to God the Father be,
All praise, eternal Son, to Thee;
All glory, as is ever meet,
To God the holy Paraclete. Used With Tune: WAREHAM Text Sources: Translation: Hymnal Noted, 1854.

Begotten is the Light of light,

Proceeds the Spirit, God most high.

And equal laud to Them is done.

The Three one highest verity,
The Three one perfect charity,
And they are man’s felicity.

O ending and felicity!
In Thee we hope, in Thee believe,
Thyself we love, to Thee we cleave.

The fount of all created things,
Thou art the life which moves the whole,
Sure hope of each believing soul.

Art still its one sufficing aid,
The only light for gazing eyes,
And, unto them that hope, the Prize.

Eternal King Of Heav'n On High
Author: Richard Mant Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Eternal King of Heav’n on high Lyrics: 1 Eternal King of Heav’n on high,
Hope of Thy saints beneath,
Crowned with triumphant majesty,
The vanquisher of death:
2 Thou dost ascend the starry spheres,
Prompt at the heav’nly call,
Which, all unheard by mortal ears,
Salutes Thee Lord of all:
3 That of the world, where’er they dwell,
The tribes may worship Thee;
And things in Heav’n, in earth, in hell,
May bow the subject knee.
4 Angels behold the change with awe:
How sin with flesh began,
And sin by flesh subdued they saw,
The conqueror God in man!
5 Do Thou from Thy celestial heights
Our prize, our pleasure, prove!
The world Thy subject; Thy delights
All worldly joys above.
6 Thence for our sins the prayer attend,
Thy pardoning grace supply,
And down Thy healthful Spirit send
To lift our hearts on high.
7 That when around Thy judgment seat
The skies their radiance pour,
Thou mayst remit our penal debt,
Our forfeit crowns restore.
8 O Jesus, glory be to Thee,
In Thy celestial rest,
Throned with Paternal Majesty,
And with the Spirit blest! Used With Tune: ANCYRA Text Sources: Ancient Latin, author unknown; Ancient Hymns from the Roman Breviary (London, J. G. & F. Rivington, 1837)

Author: J. J. Rambach, 1693-1735; Unknown Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: Eternal Son of god, O Thou Lyrics: 1 Eternal Son of God, O Thou,
Before whom earth and heaven bow,
Regard Thy people as they raise
To Thee their songs of pray'r and praise.
2 This house they dedicate to Thee,
That here they may Thy glory see;
Thy body and Thy blood they here
Receive, their fainting souls to cheer.
3 Here in baptismal water pure
They find for sins a gracious cure;
Their children here to Thee they bring,
O Thou,our death-subduing King.
4 Here sin's diseases healing find,
The weak grow strong, light cheers the blind;
The troubled heart with peace is blest,
And weariness finds heav'nly rest.
5 When tempests shake the world around,
The rock-built Church secure is found;
The gates of hell may here assail
Whom Christ defends, but not prevail.
6 Praise to the Father, and the Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One;
Blest Trinity, whom we adore,
Teach us to praise Thee evermore. Text Sources: Latin, 11th century

How bright Thy beaming glories shine!

Sinners, a vile and thankless race:
O God, what tongue aright can tell
How vast Thy love, how great Thy grace!

With joy our grateful hearts receive:
All Thy delight in us fulfill;
Lo! all we are to Thee we give.
4. To Thy sure love, Thy tender care,
Our flesh, soul, spirit, we resign:
O fix Thy sacred presence there,
And seal the abode for ever Thine.
5. O King of glory, Thy rich grace
Our feeble thought surpasses far;
Yea, even our crimes, though numberless,
Less numerous than Thy mercies are.
6. Still, Lord, Thy saving health display,
And arm our souls with heav’nly zeal;
So fearless shall we urge our way
Through all the powers of earth and hell. Used With Tune: OCTAVIUS Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1739

Eterne ĉe l' Sinjoro
Author: James Montgomery; J. Gourlay Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: "Eterne ĉe l' Sinjor'! Lyrics: 1. "Eterne ĉe l' Sinjor'!"
Amen'! ĉar tiu vort'
promeson donas al la kor'
pri vivo post la mort'.
Dum tera pilgrimad'
fremdule vagas mi:
sed proksimiĝas ĉiam pli
al hejmo kaj al Di'.
2. Ho hejmo de l' anim'!
Oftege, en vizi',
la pordojn viajn en proksim'
mi vidas antaŭ mi.
Al tiu hel-vidaĵ'
sopiras mia kor':
Jerusalemo, heredaĵ'
de lumo kaj de glor'.
3. De temp' al tempo ĝin
kaŝadas nubegar',
kaj, kiel la kolombojn, min
timigas venta mar'.
Sed pasas la malhel';
alvenas bel-veter';
profetas arko sur ĉiel'
pri paco kaj esper'.
4. Kaj kiam venos fin',
en tago kiu ajn,
mortante, morton venkos mi,
per nova vivo-gajn'.
En releviĝa hor'
eksonos venko-kri':
Denove, "Ĉiam ĉe l' Sinjor'!"
"Amen'!" respondos mi. Topics: The Life to Come; Heaven Used With Tune: NEARER HOME Text Sources: HE 172

Eterno, invisible, el Dios de poder
Eternity! tremendous Word
Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: I. Eternity! tremendous Word,
Home-striking Point, Heart-piercing Sword,
Beginning without Ending!
Eternity! without a Shore,
Where ever-fiery Billows roar,
What is thy Sight portending?
One Glimpse of thine unfathom'd Deep
Wou'd rouse a Wretch from sinful Sleep.
II. What Pain was ever thought so great,
That must not with the Time abate,
And lose its utmost Rigour?
Eternity does never cease,
Admits no Manner of Release,
But keeps its constant Vigour:
Or, as our SAVIOUR'S Words express,
Eternity has not Redress.
III. Eternity! how long, how long,
Thou seizest Senses, Heart and Tongue
With pannick Fear and Terrour!
When I revolve thy dreadful chains
In that Abyss of endless Pains,
I'm overwhelm'd with Horrour.
What's in this Life of Misery
So frightful as Eternity?
IV. Shou'd Hell endure as many Years,
As many Men this World of Tears
Has seen from the Creation.
As many Stars adorn the sky,
As many Leaves the Woods supply,
You'd hope for its Cessation.
This Sum of Ages wou'd but be
One Moment to Eterity.
V. But having spent in endless Fears
So many Thousand Thousand Years,
Thy Scene is still beginning;
When thou hast suffer'd all these Times
The just Reward of wilful Crimes,
Thy Thread ne'er ceases spinning.
Th'eternal Now, who can unfold?
'Tis ever new, but never old.
VI. O Lord, how is thy Sentence just
In leaving Man, that Rebel-Dust,
To his desevr'd Damnation!
Short wilful Sins committed here
With long Remorse are punish'd there.
O Woe beyond Relation!
Weigh this, thou harden'd Heart and Face
Thy Time is short, Death comes apace.
VII. Hast thou yet Sense? avoid the Snare;
Thy Pleasures fleeting Moments are,
That dye as fast as tasted;
These, at the Hazard of thy Soul,
Dost thou pursue without controul,
And seest thy Minutes wasted?
Thou senseless Wretch, thou matchless Fool,
Thou laugh'st and art the Devil's Tool.
VIII. As long as God eternal reigns,
And his Almighty Sway retains,
Hell-Torment will be lasting;
They shall be plagu'd with Cold and Heat,
Thirst, Hunger; Fire shallb e their Meat,
Their Worm is never wasting;
And this unequall'd Misery
Won't end till God shall cease to be.
IX. Awake and rise from sinful Sleep:
Bethink thy self, thou straying Sheep:
Return by true Repentance:
Arise, thy wicked Ways amend;
The Glass of Life runs to its End;
Then shiver at thy Sentence;
Perhaps within few Minutes Breath
Thou'rt snatch'd away by sudden Death.
X. Let neither worldly Gain nor Lust,
Ambition, Pride, nor golden Dust
Longer enslave thy passions;
Look how the carnal lethargy
O'er-spreads the great Majority,
Who sport with all Temptations;
Above all Things keep in thy Sight
The 'forenam'd long eternal Night.
XI. Most Reprobate of all Mankind,
Bereft of Sense, hard-hearted, blind,
Why dost thou love the Creature?
Shall that eternal Gulph of Hell,
Where Millions of Tormentors dwell,
Ne'er shock thy sinful Nature?
Can then no Tongue, no Eloquence
Persuade thee to a better Sense?
XII. Eternity! tremendous Word,
Home-striking Point, Heart-piercing Sword,
Beginning without Ending!
Eternity without a Shore!
Where ever fiery Billows roar,
What is thy Sight portending?
Lord JESU, when it pleases Thee,
Bring me to blest Eternity.

Author: Anonymous; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 27 hymnals First Line: Eternity! Eternity Lyrics: 1. Eternity! Eternity!
How long art thou, Eternity!
And yet to thee time hastes away,
Like as the warhorse to the fray,
Or swift as couriers homeward go,
Or ship to port, or shaft from bow.
Ponder, O Man, Eternity!
2. Eternity! Eternity!
How long art thou, Eternity!
For even as on a perfect sphere
End nor beginning can appear,
E’en so, Eternity, in thee
Entrance nor exit can there be.
Ponder, O Man, Eternity!
3. Eternity! Eternity!
How long art thou, Eternity!
A circle infinite art thou,
Thy center an Eternal Now,
Never, we name thy outer bound,
For never end therein is found.
Ponder, O Man, Eternity!
4. Eternity! Eternity!
How long art thou, Eternity!
A little bird with fretting beak
Might wear to naught the loftiest peak,
Though but each thousand years it came,
Yet thou wert then, as now, the same.
Ponder, O Man, Eternity!
5. Eternity! Eternity!
How long art thou, Eternity!
As long as God is God, so long
Endure the pains of sin and wrong,
So long the joys of Heav’n remain;
Oh lasting joy, Oh lasting pain!
Ponder, O Man, Eternity!
6. Eternity! Eternity!
How long art thou, Eternity!
O Man, full oft thy thoughts should dwell
Upon the pains of sin and hell,
And on the glories of the pure,
That both beyond all time endure,
Ponder, O Man, Eternity!
7. Eternity! Eternity!
How long art thou, Eternity!
How terrible art thou in woe,
How fair where joys for ever glow!
God’s goodness sheddeth gladness here,
His justice there wakes bitter fear.
Ponder, O Man, Eternity!
8. Eternity! Eternity!
How long art thou, Eternity!
They who lived poor and naked rest
With God, for ever rich and blest,
And love and praise the Highest Good,
In perfect bliss and gladsome mood.
Ponder, O Man, Eternity!
9. Eternity! Eternity!
How long art thou, Eternity!
A moment lasts all joy below,
Whereby man sinks to endless woe,
A moment lasts all earthly pain,
Whereby an endless joy we gain,
Ponder, O Man, Eternity!
10. Eternity! Eternity!
How long art thou, Eternity!
Who ponders oft on thee, is wise,
All fleshly lusts will he despise,
The world finds place with him no more;
The love of vain delights is o’er.
Ponder, O Man, Eternity!
11. Eternity! Eternity!
How long art thou, Eternity!
Who marks thee well would say to God,
Here judge, burn, smite me with Thy rod,
Here let me all Thy justice bear,
When time of grace is past, then spare!
Ponder, O Man, Eternity!
12. Eternity! Eternity!
How long art thou, Eternity!
Lo, I, Eternity, warn thee,
O Man, that oft thou think on me,
The sinner’s punishment and pain,
To them who love their God, rich gain!
