These Glorious Minds, How Bright They Shine
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6575 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. These glorious minds, how bright they shine!
Whence all their white array?
How came they to the happy seats
Of everlasting day?
2. From torturing pains to endless joys
On fiery wheels they rode,
And strangely washed their raiment white
In Jesus’ dying blood.
3. Now they approach a spotless God,
And bow before His throne
Their warbling harps and sacred songs
Adore the Holy One.
4. The unveiled glories of His face
Amongst His saints reside,
While the rich treasure of His grace
Sees all their wants supplied.
5. Tormenting thirst shall leave their souls,
And hunger flee as fast;
The fruit of life’s immortal tree
Shall be their sweet repast.
6. The Lamb shall lead His heav’nly flock
Where living fountains rise;
And love divine shall wipe away
The sorrows of their eyes. Languages: English Tune Title: BROMSGROVE
These Glorious Minds, How Bright They Shine
There Is a Land of Pure Delight
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6611 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign;
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.
2. There everlasting spring abides,
And never withering flowers:
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heav’nly land from ours.
3. Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood
Stand dressed in living green:
So to the Jews old Canaan stood,
While Jordan rolled between.
4. But timorous mortals start and shrink
To cross this narrow sea;
And linger, shivering on the brink,
And fear to launch away.
5. O could we make our doubts remove,
Those gloomy thoughts that rise,
And see the Canaan that we love
With unbeclouded eyes!
6. Could we but climb where Moses stood,
And view the landscape o’er,
Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood,
Should fright us from the shore. Languages: English Tune Title: ASCRIPTION
There Is a Land of Pure Delight
This Endris Night
Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6642 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: This endris night I saw a sight Lyrics: 1. This endris night1 I saw a sight
A star as bright as day;

To sing, By by, lullay.

In crib though I be laid.

Thou knowest ’tis no nay4:
And for that sight thou may’st delight
To sing, By by, lullay.
6. “Now, sweet Son, since Thou art a king,
Why art Thou laid in stall?
Why dost not order thy bedding
In some great kingès hall?

Should lie in good array:
And then among, it were no wrong
To sing, By by, lullay.

Though I be laid in stall;
For lords and dukes shall worship Me,
And so shall kingès all.

Shall come on this twelfth day.
For this behest give Me thy breast
And sing, By by, lullay.

Thou art my Love and Dear—
How should I keep Thee to Thy pay6,
And make Thee glad of cheer?

Thou knowest well, in fay7;
And for all this I will Thee kiss,
And sing, By by, lullay.
12. “My dear mother, when time it be,
Take thou Me up on loft,
And set Me then upon thy knee,
And handle me full soft.

And keep Me night and day,
And if I weep, and may not sleep,
Thou sing, By by, lullay.
14. “Now sweet Son, since it is come so,
That all is at Thy will,
I pray Thee grant to me a boon8,
If it be right and skill9,—
15. That child or man, who will or can
Be merry on my day,
To bliss Thou bring—and I shall sing,
Lullay, by by, lullay.

There Is an Eye That Never Sleeps
Author: James C. Wallace, 1793-1841 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6643 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. There is an eye that never sleeps
Beneath the wing of night;
There is an ear that never shuts
When sink the beams of light.
2. There is an arm that never tires
When human strength gives way;
There is a love that never fails
When earthly loves decay.
3. That eye is fixed on seraph throngs;
That arm upholds the sky;
That ear is filled with angel songs;
That love is throned on high.
4. But there’s a power which man can wield
When mortal aid is vain,
That eye, that arm, that love to reach,
That listening ear to gain.
5. That power is prayer, which soars on high,
Through Jesus, to the throne,
And moves the hand which moves the world,
To bring salvation down. Languages: English Tune Title: NORTHREPPS

And Satan’s empire fell;
Today the saints His triumphs spread,
And all His wonders tell.
3. Hosanna to th’anointed king,
To David’s holy Son;
Help us, O Lord; descend and bring
Salvation from Thy throne.
4. Blest be the Lord, who comes to men
With messages of grace;
Who comes in God His Father’s name,
To save our sinful race.
5. Hosanna in the highest strains
The Church on earth can raise;
The highest heav’ns, in which He reigns,
Shall give Him nobler praise. Languages: English Tune Title: ARLINGTON

Nor death nor hell shall harm.

That truth to keep, that life to win,
Whose joys eternal flow. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. JAMES

If we but do our best.

With rays of glory bright;
Thus may we turn a crown of thorns
Into a crown of light. Languages: English Tune Title: RAPHAEL (Oratory)

I’ll build a house for Thee.

And let it be Thy rest. Languages: English Tune Title: NAOMI

To worship God aright.

Through endless ages love.

And the whole Trinity descends
Into our faithful hearts.

And challenge them to sing

The friend of earth born man!
7. Ye seraphs nearest to the throne,
With rapturous amaze
On us, poor ransomed worms look down
For Heaven’s superior praise.
8. The king whose glorious face ye see,
For us His crown resigned;
That fullness of the Deity,
He died for all mankind! Languages: English Tune Title: AZMON

The Thought of God

So deep it is and broad,
And equal to my every need—
It is the thought of God.

I feast at life’s full board;
And rising in my inner skies
Shines forth the thought of God.

I drop my daily load,
And every care is pillowed there
Upon the thought of God.
4. I ask not far before to see,
But take in trust my road;
Life, death, and immortality
Are in my thought of God.
5. To this their secret strength they owed
The martyr’s path who trod;
The fountains of their patience flowed
From out their thought of God.
6. Be still the light upon my way,
My pilgrim staff and rod,
My rest by night, my strength by day
O blessèd thought of God. Languages: English Tune Title: ROCHESTER (Williams)
