How In The Flowery Spring

Author: Arthur C. Coxe Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: How in the flowery spring, my God Lyrics: 1 How in the flowery spring, my God, The buds of promise ope, And blossom o’er life’s thorny road, To cheer the Christian’s hope! Like them exulting from the tomb, We, too, revived shall rise, And flourish in immortal bloom, In Edens of the skies. 2 What though in pensive autumn’s wane, Earth’s sere grown glories fall, And sleep through winter’s dull domain, When death is writ on all; Exulting, in the breaking year, The lily doth unclose, And daisies o’er the waste appear, And roses from the snows. 3 So then to dust, our dust shall turn, So too shall rise and sing, When falls upon the mouldered urn The joyous dew of spring; The God that rears the tender flowers, And breathes to life their dust, From coldest grave will quicken ours, And new-create the just.

There's music in the upper heaven--

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There's music in the upper heaven-- The choral notes that swell Are sweeter, fuller, richer far Than human lips can tell, When rings the gush of golden harps, And heavenly lutes are swept, To tell the quenchless love of him Who o'er a lost world wept. 2 The gliding rush of countless wings, Borne on the swelling breeze, That wafts the rustling music by Amid embowered trees; The echo of the myriad feet That fall on pavements fair, Of glittering, dazzling gold, that gleams In untold brightness there. 3 The music of the pearly gates, When back by angels flung, Admitting there a ransomed soul, Their sinless bands among: The silvery sound that's swelling up When flows the stream of life; The rustle of the emerald leaf With healing virtues rife. 4 And then the tide of melody That swells and bursts, when rings The new song in that far-off world, That thrilling rapture brings: But, awed, we may not note its power, Its depth we may not sound; Unfathomed, fathomless, it rolls In glorious might around. Topics: Heaven; The Music of Heaven

The Angels Sing Around The Stall

Author: Peter Gallwey Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The angels sing around the stall Where Jesus cradled lies; The shepherds hear the joyful call That wakes the silent skies. Hark! to the music floating by, Ere yet its echoes cease! Poured forth from angels’ minstrelsy, Is heard the song of peace. 2 The eastern kings the star have seen, They hasten on their way; Long time they’ve watched and waiting been The dawning of that day; The dawning of the day of grace, The gleam of Jacob’s star, The virgin’s child of Jesse’s race, Whom prophets saw afar. 3 And now they open treasures rare, Which Indian silks enfold; Of myrrh, which sweetly scents the air, Of frankincense and gold. Their kingly heads they meekly bow The cradled Babe before; Their God confess, and kneeling low In humble faith adore. 4 With them I come to greet my king, Yet not with them to part; No gold, no frankincense, I bring, I offer Him my heart. With Him to live, with Him to die, Who by His lowly birth, Gave glory to our God on high, And peace to men on earth.
