Light's abode, celestial Salem

Author: J. M. Neale Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 94 hymnals Topics: Processionals General; Processionals Saints' Days Lyrics: 1 Light's abode, celestial Salem, Vision whence true peace doth spring, Brighter than the heart can fancy, Mansion of the highest King; Oh, how glorious are the praises Which of Thee the prophets sing! 2 There forever and forever 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 vapor Dims the brightness of the air; Endless noon-day, glorious noon-day, From the Sun of suns is there; There no night brings rest from labor, For unknown are toil and care. 4 Oh, how glorious and resplendent, Fragile body, shalt thou be, When endued with so much beauty, Full of health, and strong, and free, Full of vigor, full of pleasure That shall last eternally! 5 Now with gladness, now with courage, Bear the burden on thee laid, That hereafter these thy labors May with endless gifts be paid, And in everlasting glory Thou with brightness be arrayed. Amen. Used With Tune: REGENT SQUARE

Look, ye saints; the sight is glorious

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 564 hymnals Topics: Processional Lyrics: Look, ye saints; the sight is glorious; See the "Man of sorrows" now; From the fight returned victorious, Every knee to Him shall bow; Crown Him! Crown Him! Crowns become the Victor's brow. Crown the Savior, angels crown Him; Rich the trophies Jesus brings; On the seat of power enthrone Him, While the vault of heaven rings; Crown Him! Crown Him! Crown the Savior King of kings. Sinners in derision crowned Him, Mocking thus Messiah's claim; Saints and angels crowd around Him, Own his title, praise his Name: Crown Him! Crown Him! Spread abroad the Victor's fame! Hark! those bursts of acclamation! Hark! those loud triumphant chords! Jesus takes the highest station; O what joy the sight affords! Crown Him! Crown Him! King of kings, and Lord of lords. Used With Tune: VICTOR'S CROWN

Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true. 2 Ring out the grief that saps the mind, For those that here we see no more; Ring out the feud of rich and poor, Ring in redress to all mankind. Ring out false pride in place and blood, The civic slander and the spite; Ring in the love of truth and right, Ring in the common love of good. 3 Ring out old shapes of foul disease, Ring out the narrowing lust of gold; Ring out the thousand wars of old, Ring in the thousand years of peace. Ring in the valiant man and free, The larger heart, the kindlier hand; Ring out the darkness of the land, Ring in the Christ that is to be. Amen. Used With Tune: JORDAN
