Jerusalem the golden

Author: Bernard of Cluny, XII cent.; John Mason Neale, 1818 - 66 Appears in 933 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Saints' Days - Minor Festivals 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 Sion, 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. A-men. 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, For ever and for ever Are clad in robes of white. 4 O sweet and blesséd country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blesséd 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. Used With Tune: EWING

Light's abode, celestial Salem

Appears in 94 hymnals Topics: Festivals Lyrics: 1 Light's abode, celestial Salem, Vision whence true peace doth spring; Brighter than the heart can fancy, Mansion of the highest King; O how glorious are the praises Which of thee the Prophets sing. 2 There for ever and for ever Alleluia is outpoured; For unending, for unbroken, Is the feast-day of the Lord; All is pure and all is holy That within thy walls is stored. 3 There no cloud nor passing vapour Dims the brightness of the air; Endless noonday, glorious noonday, From the Sun of suns is there; There no night brings rest from labour, There unknown are toil and care. 4 O how glorious and resplendent, Fragile body, shalt thou be, When endued with so much beauty, Full of health, and strong and free; Full of vigour, full of pleasure, That shall last eternally. 5 Now with gladness, now with courage, Bear the burden on thee laid, That hereafter these thy labours May with endless gifts be paid, And in everlasting glory Thou with brightness be arrayed. Amen. Used With Tune: REGENT SQUARE

O Day of rest and gladness

Appears in 832 hymnals Topics: Festivals Lyrics: 1 O Day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, O balm of care and sadness, Most beautiful, most bright; On thee, the high and lowly, Through ages join'd in tune, Sing, Holy, holy, holy, To the great God Triune. 2 On thee, at the Creation, The light first had its birth; On thee for our salvation Christ rose from depths of earth; On thee our Lord victorious The spirit sent from heaven; And thus on thee most glorious A triple light was given. 3 Thou art a port protected From storms that round us rise; A garden intersected With streams of Paradise; Thou art a cooling fountain In life's dry, dreary sand; From thee, like Pisgah's mountain, We view our promised land. 4 To-day on weary nations The heavenly manna falls: To holy convocations The silver trumpet calls; Where gospel-light is glowing With pure and radiant beams: And living water flowing With soul-refreshing streams. 5 New graces ever gaining From this our day of rest, We reach the rest remaining To spirits of the blest; To Holy Ghost be praises, To Father, and to Son; The Church her voices upraises To Thee, blest Three in One. Amen. Used With Tune: ROTTERDAM

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks Appears in 900 hymnals Topics: Church Festivals Christmas Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie; Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light: The hopes and fears Of all the years Are met in thee tonight. 2 For Christ is born of Mary; And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wond'ring love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth; And praises sing To God our King, And peace to men on earth. 3 How silently, how silently The wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still, The dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in, Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Immanuel. Used With Tune: ST. LOUIS

O Sacred Head, now Wounded

Author: Paul Gerhardt; J. W. Alexander; Bernard of Clairvaux, 1091-1153 Appears in 753 hymnals Topics: Church Festivals Passion and Easter Lyrics: 1 O sacred Head, now wounded, With grief and shame weighed down, Now scornfully surrounded With thorns, Thine only crown; O sacred Head, what glory, What bliss, till now was Thine! Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call Thee mine. 2 What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered Was all for sinner's gain; Mine, mine was the transgression, But Thine the deadly pain. Lo, here I fall, my Savior! ’Tis I deserve Thy place; Look on me with Thy favor, Vouchsafe to me Thy grace. 3 What language shall I borrow To thank Thee, dearest Friend, For this, Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end? O make me Thine forever; And should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never Outlive my love to Thee. 4 Be near when I am dying, O show Thy cross to me; And for my succor flying, Come, Lord, and set me free. These eyes, new faith receiving, From Jesus shall not move, For He who dies believing, Dies safely through Thy love. Used With Tune: MIG HJERTELIG NU LÆNGES

Know ye not your Captain's power? 3 Let your drooping hearts be glad; March in heavenly armor clad: Fight, nor think the battle long, Victory soon shall tune your song. 4 Let not sorrow dim your eye, Soon shall every tear be dry; Let not fears your course impede, Great your strength, if great your need. 5 Onward then in battle move, More than conquerors ye shall prove: Though opposed by many a foe, Christian soldiers, onward go.

Once More the Liberal Year Laughs Out

Author: John G. Whittier Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Church Festivals Thanksgiving First Line: Once more the lib'ral year laughs out Lyrics: 1 Once more the lib'ral year laughs out O'er richer stores than gems or gold; Once more, with harvest-song and shout, Is nature's bloodless triumph told. 2 O favors ev'ry year made new! O blessings with the sunshine sent! The bounty overruns our due, The fullness shames our discontent. 3 We shut our eyes, the flow'rs bloom on; We murmur, but the corn ears fill; We choose the shadow, but the sun That casts it, shines behind us still. 4 Now let these altars, wreath'd with flow'rs And piled with fruits, awake again Thanksgiving for the golden hours, The early and the latter rain.
