From All Thy Saints in Warfare

Author: H. B. Nelson, 1823-1913 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #558 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Topics: Saints and Martyrs Lyrics: 1 From all Thy saints in warfare, For all Thy saints at rest, To Thee, O blessed Jesus, All praises be addressed. Thou, Lord, didst win the battle, That they might conqu'rors be; Their crowns of living glory Are lit with rays from Thee. 2 Apostles, prophets, martyrs, And all the sacred throng Who wear the spotless raiment, Who raise the ceaseless song; For these, passed on before us, Savior, we Thee adore, And walking in their footsteps, Would serve Thee more and more. 3 Then praise we God the Father, And praise we God the Son, And God the Holy Spirit, Eternal Three in One; Till all the ransomed number Fall down before the throne, And honor, pow'r, and glory Ascribe to God alone.

Jerusalem on high

Author: Samuel Crossman Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #589 (1899) Topics: Martyrs Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem on high, My song and city is, My home whene’er I die, The centre of my bliss; Oh, happy place! When shall I be, My God, with Thee, To see Thy face? 2 There dwells my Lord, my King, Judged here unfit to live; There angels to Him sing And lowly homage give; Oh, happy place! When shall I be, My God, with Thee, To see Thy face? 3 The patriarchs of old There from their travels cease; The prophets there behold Their longed-for Prince of Peace; Oh, happy place! When shall I be, My God, with Thee, To see Thy face? 4 The Lamb’s apostles there I might with joy behold, The harpers I might hear Harping on harps of gold: Oh, happy place! When shall I be, My God, with Thee, To see Thy face? 5 The bleeding martyrs, they Within these courts are found, Clothèd in pure array, Their scars with glory crowned; Oh, happy place! When shall I be, My God, with Thee, To see Thy face? 6 Ah me! ah me! that I In Kedar’s tent here stay; No place like that on high; Lord thither guide my way; Oh, happy place! When shall I be, My God, with Thee, To see Thy face? Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: SHAMOKIN

Jerusalem! my happy home!

Author: F. B. P.; James Montgomery Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #602 (1899) Topics: Martyrs Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem! my happy home! Name ever dear to me! When shall my labors have an end, In joy and peace and Thee? 2 When shall these eyes thy heaven-built walls And pearly gates behold? Thy bulwarks with salvation strong, And streets of shining gold? 3 Oh, when, thou city of my God, Shall I thy courts ascend, Where congregations ne'er break up And Sabbaths have no end? 4 There happier bowers than Eden's bloom, Nor sin nor sorrow know; Blest seats! through rude and stormy scenes I onward press to you. 5 Why should I shrink at pain and woe? Or feel at death dismay? I've Canaan's goodly land in view, And realms of endless day. 6 Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there Around my Saviour stand; And soon my friends in Christ below Will join the glorious band. 6 Jerusalem! my happy home! My soul still pants for thee; Then shall my labors have an end, When I thy joys shall see. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHWELL
