Jerusalem the golden

Author: St Bernard of Cluny (12th century); John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 932 hymnals Topics: Year C Proper 8 Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden, with milk and honey blest, beneath thy contemplation sink heart and voice oppressed. I know not, ah, 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 angels, 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 fully run the race, are robed in white for ever before their Saviour's face. 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 blest. Scripture: Luke 1:32 Used With Tune: EWING Text Sources: "De Contemptu Mundi"

I Feel the Winds of God

Great pilot of my onward way, you will not let me drift; I feel the winds of God today, today my sail I lift. Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

Beneath the Cross of Jesus

Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 569 hymnals Topics: Year C Proper 8 Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus I gladly take my stand, the shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land; A home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way, from the burning of the noontide heat, and the burden of the day. 2 Upon the cross of Jesus within my mind I see the very dying form of One who suffered there for me; And from my grieving heart with tears two wonders I confess - the wonders of Christ's glorious love and my unworthiness. 3 I take, O cross, your shadow for my abiding place; I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of Christ's face; Content to let the world go by, to know no gain or loss, my sinful self my only shame, my glory all the cross. Scripture: Galatians 6:14 Used With Tune: ST. CHRISTOPHER

We lift them, Lord, to thee; here at thy feet none other may we see: 'Lift up your hearts!' E'en so, with one accord, we lift them up, we lift them to the Lord. 2 Above the swamps of subterfuge and shame, the deeds, the thoughts, that honour may not name, the halting tongue that dares not tell the whole, O Lord of truth, lift ev'ry Christian soul. 3 Lift ev'ry gift that thou thyself hast giv'n: low lies the best till lifted up to heav'n; low lie the bounding heart, the teeming brain, till, sent from God, they mount to God again. 4 Then, as the trumpet-call, in after years, 'Lift up your hearts!' rings pealing in our ears, still shall those hearts respond, with full accord, 'We lift them up, we lift them to the Lord!'
