Ten thousand times ten thousand

Author: Rev. Henry Alford Hymnal: The Hymnal #427 (1950) Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Topics: Funeral Services Lyrics: 1 Ten thousand times ten thousand In sparkling raiment bright, The armies of the ransomed saints Throng up the steeps of light; 'Tis finished, all is finished, Their fight with death and sin: Fling open wide the golden gates, And let the victors in. 2 What rush of alleluias Fills all the earth and sky! What ringing of a thousand harps Bespeaks the triumph nigh! O day, for which creation And all its tribes were made; O joy, for all its former woes A thousandfold repaid! 3 O then what raptured greetings On Canaan's happy shore; What knitting severed friendships up Where partings are no more! Then eyes with joy shall sparkle, That brimmed with tears of late; Orphans no longer fatherless, Nor widows desolate. 4 Bring near Thy great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain; Fill up the roll of Thine elect, Then take Thy power, and reign; Appear, Desire of nations, Thine exiles long for home; Show in the heaven Thy promised sign; Thou Prince and Saviour, come. Amen. Tune Title: ALFORD

But 'tis Jesus who is calling, Calling, come home, Calling come home. 3 Silently, silently, bury the dead, Silently, silently, the soul has fled Up to our heavenly Father who gave, And through His great loving kindness will save. For 'tis Jesus who is calling, Calling, come home, Calling, come home. 4 Silently, silently, lay them to rest, Silently, silently, God thought it best Aloft in heaven their Saviour to meet, And all the sanctified angels to greet. So, 'tis Jesus who is calling, Calling, come home, Calling, come home. Scripture: Psalm 116:15 Languages: English Tune Title: SILENTLY THEY PASS AWAY

Lyrics: 1 Go to thy rest, fair child! Go to thy dreamless bed, While yet so gentle, undefiled, With blessings on thy head. 2 Before thy heart had learned In waywardness to stray; Before thy feet had ever turned The dark and downward way; 3 Ere sin has seared the breast, Or sorrow woke the tear; Rise to thy throne of changeless rest, In yon celestial sphere! 4 Because thy smile was fair, Thy lip and eye so bright, Because thy loving cradle-care Was such a dear delight; 5 Shall love, with weak embrace, Thy upward wing detain? No! gentle spirit, seek thy place Amid the cherub train. Scripture: 2 Samuel 12:23 Languages: English Tune Title: BURBER
