Jerusalem the Golden

Author: Bernard of Morlaix; John M. Neale Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3448 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D 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 Zion, 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 blessèd are decked in glorious sheen. 3. There is the throne of David, and there, from care released, The shout of them that triumph, the song of them that feast; And they, who with their Leader, have conquered in the fight, Forever and forever are clad in robes of white. 4. O sweet and blessèd country, the home of God’s elect! O sweet and blessèd 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 blessed. 5. Brief life is here our portion, brief sorrow, short lived care; The life that knows no ending, the tearless life, is there. O happy retribution! Short toil, eternal rest; For mortals and for sinners, a mansion with the blest. 6. That we should look, poor wanderers, to have our home on high! That worms should seek for dwellings beyond the starry sky! And now we fight the battle, but then shall wear the crown Of full and everlasting, and passionless renown. 7. And how we watch and struggle, and now we live in hope, And Zion in her anguish with Babylon must cope; But he whom now we trust in shall then be seen and known, And they that know and see Him shall have Him for their own. 8. For thee, O dear, dear country, mine eyes their vigils keep; For very love, beholding, thy happy name, they weep: The mention of thy glory is unction to the breast, And medicine in sickness, and love, and life, and rest. 9. O one, O only mansion! O paradise of joy! Where tears are ever banished, and smiles have no alloy; The cross is all thy splendor, the Crucified thy praise, His laud and benediction thy ransomed people raise. 10. Jerusalem the glorious! Glory of the elect! O dear and future vision that eager hearts expect! Even now by faith I see thee, even here thy walls discern; To thee my thoughts are kindled, and strive, and pant, and yearn. 11. Jerusalem, the only, that look’st from heaven below, In thee is all my glory, in me is all my woe! And though my body may not, my spirit seeks thee fain, Till flesh and earth return me to earth and flesh again. 12. Jerusalem, exulting on that securest shore, I hope thee, wish thee, sing thee, and love thee evermore! I ask not for my merit: I seek not to deny My merit is destruction, a child of wrath am I. 13. But yet with faith I venture and hope upon the way, For those perennial guerdons I labor night and day. The best and dearest Father who made me, and who saved, Bore with me in defilement, and from defilement laved. 14. When in His strength I struggle, for very joy I leap; When in my sin I totter, I weep, or try to weep: And grace, sweet grace celestial, shall all its love display, And David’s royal fountain purge every stain away. 15. O sweet and blessèd country, shall I ever see thy face? O sweet and blessèd country, shall I ever win thy grace? I have the hope within me to comfort and to bless! Shall I ever win the prize itself? O tell me, tell me, Yes! 16. Strive, man, to win that glory; toil, man, to gain that light; Send hope before to grasp it, till hope be lost in sight. Exult, O dust and ashes, the Lord shall be thy part: His only, His forever thou shalt be, and thou art. Languages: English Tune Title: EWING

A Light Came Out of Darkness

Author: William A. Hawley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3794 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1. A light came out of darkness; No light, no hope had we, Till Jesus came from Heaven Our light and hope to be. Oh, as I read the story From birth to dying cry, A longing fills my bosom To meet Him by and by. 2. How tender His compassion How loving was His call, How earnest His entreaty To sinners, one and all. He wooed, and won them to Him By love, and that is why I long to be like Jesus, And meet Him by and by. 3. Yet deeper do I ponder, His cross and sorrow see, And ever gaze and wonder Why Jesus died for me. And shall I fear to own Him? Can I my Lord deny? No! let me love Him, serve Him, And meet Him by and by. Languages: English Tune Title: EWING

The Lord My Shepherd Holds Me

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3868 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1. The Lord my Shepherd holds me Within His tender care, And with His flock He folds me, No want shall find me there. In pastures green He feeds me, With plenty I am blest; By quiet streams He leads me, And makes me safely rest. 2. Whatever ill betides me, He will restore and bless; For His name’s sake He guides me, In paths of righteousness. Thy rod and staff shall cheer me In death’s dark vale and shade, For Thou wilt then be near me; I shall not be afraid. 3. My food Thou dost appoint me, Supplied before my foes; With oil Thou dost anoint me, My cup of bliss o’erflows. Thy goodness, Lord, shall guide me, Thy mercy cheer my way; A home Thou wilt provide me Within Thy house always. Languages: English Tune Title: EWING

Immanuel, God with us!

Author: Anna H. Mercur Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9849 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Immanuel, God with us! Bow down, ye heavens, today! Behold a wondrous glory, The star of Bethlehem’s ray! For angels have descended With message from on high; Let all the earth keep silence, Redemption draweth nigh! 2 Strange sight for men and angels! Lo! the effulgent light Which led the holy magi Rests on Judean height! Stopped in its course celestial, O’er lowly cattle shed, Its heavenly beams illumine An infant’s manger bed. 3 O earth, with all thy kingdoms, Was there no other place Wherein to welcome Jesus, The Lord of life and grace? No room in royal palace? No spot within the inn To shield the Word made human— The God-man without sin? 4 To make men priests and monarchs, Joint heirs with Him on high, The Logos consubstantial Descendeth from the sky. Leaving the Father’s brightness, Leaving His throne of flame, He comes a helpless infant, To suffer grief and shame. 5 Depth of humiliation! Love passing all degree! Thus to restore to mortals Their immortality! Henceforth the race shall triumph, And foil the serpent’s art: The laws of stone on Sinai Be written on the heart! 6 All hail! angelic heralds Proclaiming peace on earth! Hail! gracious star of promise, Sign of a Savior’s birth! Lift up thy gates, O Zion! Sing, everlasting hills! Joy for the God incarnate The whole creation fills! Languages: English Tune Title: EWING

Bend To Our Hymns, Redeemer

Author: John of Damascus, 685-649; William C. Dix Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10693 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Bend to our hymns, Redeemer, The foe’s high brow bring low; Thou from on high beholdest Each sin which works our woe; Yet us, Thine own, Most Holy, Who steadfastly believe, Thy minstrels, truly faithful, Thyself in love receive. 2 The band of herdsmen chosen The strange new sight to see, Was troubled at beholding The wondrous mystery: The offspring of a maiden, Incarnate without seed, This, this the passing marvel No human mind can read. 3 O sight all unaccustomed, Their monarch, Christ the Lord, They see by tuneful cohorts Of seraphim adored; In tender loving-kindness He comes, who rules the sky, And born of maid unwedded, Fulfills His promise high. 4 Erewhile without a body, The Essence flesh was made; The Word took matter to Him From Mary, stainless maid: That to Himself, us sinners, The guilty sons of men, Creation’s fallen chieftains, He might draw back again.

Ce bucurie mare se află ’n sânul tău, Unde în loc de soare luminai Dumnezeu. 2 Careaici jos s’a luptat, cu cei ceau ’nvins va fi, Careaici a suferit, în cer s’a odihni. Lacremile s’or şterge, plâns nu s’a auzi, Dorinţa se ’mplineşte, fericire va fi. 3 Oh ţară fericită a celor mântuiţi, Tu dai odihnă dulce la toţi cei osteniţi. Oh Doamne, cual tău sânge ce neai răscumpărat, În patria vecinică condune îndurat. Languages: Romanian Tune Title: EWING

The True Historic Jesus

Author: James M. Gray Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16214 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 First Line: I know no other Jesus Lyrics: 1 I know no other Jesus Than He who died for me; The Savior of lost sinners, The Christ of Calvary. I know no "ideal" Jesus That human minds invent; The only Christ I worship Is whom the Father sent. 2 That human Christs could save me, Is inadmissible; My Jesus is the image Of God invisible. My Christ became incarnate, And of the virgin born; He left a crown of glory To wear the platted thorn. 3 The Infant of the manger, The village Carpenter, The Teacher sent from Heaven To men to minister; The true historic Jesus, Who died and rose again, He only is the Jesus That I proclaim to men.
