Heaven Is Here, Where Hymns of Gladness

Author: John Adams Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 46 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Heaven is here, where hymns of gladness Cheer the toilers’ rugged way, In this world where clouds of sadness Often change to night our day; Heaven is here, where misery lightened Of its heavy load is seen, Where the face of sorrow brightened, By the deed of love hath been. 2. Where the sad, the poor, despairing, Are uplifted, cheered, and blest, Where in others’ labors sharing, We can find our surest rest; Where we heed the voice of duty, Tread the path that Jesus trod; This is Heaven, its peace, its beauty, Radiant with the love of God.

Earth, with All Thy Thousand Voices

Author: Edward Churton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Earth, with all thy thousand voices, Praise in songs th’eternal King; Praise His name, whose praise rejoices Ears that hear, and tongues that sing. Lord, from each far-peopled dwelling, Earth shall raise the glad acclaim; All shall kneel, Thy greatness telling, Sing Thy praise and bless Thy name. 2. Come and hear the wondrous story, How our mighty God of old, In the terrors of His glory, Back the flowing billows rolled; Walked within the threatening waters, Free we passed the upright wave, Then was joy to Israel’s daughters, Loud they sang His power to save. 3. Bless the Lord, who ever liveth; Sound His praise through every land, Who our dying souls reviveth, By whose arm upheld we stand. Now upon this cheerful morrow We Thine altars will adorn, And the gifts we vowed in sorrow Pay on joy’s returning morn. 4. Come, each faithful soul, who fearest, Him who fills th’eternal throne: Hear, rejoicing while thou hearest, What our God for us hath done; When we made our supplication, When our voice in prayer was strong, Then we found His glad salvation; And His mercy fills our tongue.

Light of Ages and of Nations

Author: Samuel Longfellow, 1819-1892 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Light of ages and of nations, every race and every time has received thine inspirations, glimpses of thy truth sublime. Always spirits in rapt vision passed the heavenly veil within, always hearts bowed in contrition found salvation from their sin. 2 Reason’s noble aspiration truth in growing clearness saw; conscience spoke its condemnation, or proclaimed eternal law. While thine inward revelations told thy saints their prayers were heard, prophets to the guilty nations spoke thine everlasting word. 3 Lo, that word abideth ever; revelation is not sealed; answering now to our endeavor, truth and right are still revealed. That which came to ancient sages, Greek, Barbarian, Roman, Jew, written in the soul’s deep pages, shines today, forever new.

Spread Thy wings of blessing o’er them, Holy Spirit, from above; Guide, and lead, and go before them, Give them peace, and joy, and love. AMEN.

Hark! the sound of holy voices

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Appears in 237 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! the sound of holy voices, Chanting at the crystal sea, Hallelujah, hallelujah, Hallelujah, Lord, to Thee! Multitudes, which none can number, Like the stars in glory stand, Clothed in white apparel, holding Palms of victory in their hands. 2 They have come from tribulation, And have washed their robes in blood, Washed them in the blood of Jesus; Tried they were and firm they stood. Mocked, imprisoned, stoned, tormented, Sawn asunder, slain with sword, They have conquered death and Satan By the might of Christ the Lord. 3 Now they reign in heavenly glory, Now they walk in golden light, Now they drink, as from a river, Holy bliss and infinite; Love and peace they taste for ever, And all truth and knowledge see In the beatific vision Of the blessèd Trinity. Amen. Topics: White Robes Used With Tune: AUSTRIAN HYMN
