Jerusalem the golden!

Author: St. Bernard of Cluny; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 930 hymnals Lyrics: Jerusalem the golden! With milk and honey blest; Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice opprest. I know not, O I know not, What joys await us there! What radiancy of glory! What bliss beyond compare! 466 They stand, those halls of Sion, 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. 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, For ever and for ever Are clad in robes of white. 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. Amen.

I Could Not Do Without Thee

Author: Frances R. Havergal Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 191 hymnals Lyrics: 1. I could not do without Thee O Savior of the lost, Whose precious blood redeemed me At such tremendous cost. Thy righteousness, Thy pardon Thy precious blood, must be My only hope and comfort, My glory and my plea. 2. I could not do without Thee, I cannot stand alone, I have no strength or goodness, No wisdom of my own; But Thou, belovèd Savior, Art all in all to me, And weakness will be power If leaning hard on Thee. 3. I could not do without Thee, For, oh, the way is long, And I am often weary, And sigh replaces song: How could I do without Thee? I do not know the way; Thou knowest, and Thou leadest, And wilt not let me stray. 4. I could not do without Thee, O Jesus, Savior dear; E’en when my eyes are holden, I know that Thou art near. How dreary and how lonely This changeful life would be, Without the sweet communion, The secret rest with Thee! 5. I could not do without Thee; No other friend can read The spirit’s strange deep longings, Interpreting its need; No human heart could enter Each dim recess of mine, And soothe, and hush, and calm it, O blessèd Lord, but Thine. 6. I could not do without Thee, For years are fleeting fast, And soon in solemn oneness The river must be passed; But Thou wilt never leave me, And though the waves roll high, I know Thou wilt be near me, And whisper, It is I.

The World Is Very Evil

Author: John M. Neale; Bernard of Morlas Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 122 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The world is very evil, The times are waxing late: Be sober and keep vigil, The Judge is at the gate: The Judge that comes in mercy, The Judge that comes with might, To terminate the evil, To diadem the right. 2 Arise, arise, good Christian, Let right to wrong succeed; Let penitential sorrow To heav'nly gladness lead, To light that hath no evening, That knows no moon nor sun, The light so new and golden, The light that is but one. 3 O home of fadeless splendor, Of flow'rs that bear no thorn, Where they shall dwell as children, Who here as exiles mourn. Midst pow'r that knows no limit, Where knowledge has no bound, The beatific vision Shall glad the saints around. 4 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. 5 O sweet and blessed country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessed 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. Amen.

For Thee, O Dear, Dear Country

Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866); Bernard of Cluny Appears in 274 hymnals Lyrics: 1 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. 2 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. 3 Thou hast no shore, fair ocean! Thou hast no time, bright day! Dear fountain of refreshment To pilgrims far away! Upon the Rock of Ages They raise the holy tower; Thine is the victor's laurel And thine the golden dower. Amen.
