Jerusalem the Golden
Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866); Bernard of Cluny Hymnal: The Hymnbook #428 (1955) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Church, The Church Triumphant Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden,
With milk and honey blest,
Beneath thy contemplation
Sink heart and voice oppressed.
I know not, O 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 an angel,
And all the martyr throng.
The Prince is ever in them,
The daylight is serene;
The pastures of the blessed
Are decked in glorious sheen.
3 There is the throne of David;
And there, from care released,
The song of them that triumph,
The shout of them that feast;
And they who with their Leader
Have conquered in the fight,
Forever and forever
Are clad in robes of white.
4 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. Scripture: Hebrews 11:16 Tune Title: EWING
Jerusalem the Golden
Brief Life Is Here Our Portion
Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866); Bernard of Cluny Hymnal: The Hymnbook #430 (1955) Topics: Church, The Church Triumphant Lyrics: 1 Brief life is here our portion,
Brief sorrow, short-lived care,
The life that knows no ending,
The tearless life, is there.
O happy retribution!
Short toil, eternal rest;
For mortals and for sinners
A mansion with the blest!
2 There grief is turned to pleasure,
Such pleasure as below
No human voice can utter,
No human heart can know.
And now we fight the battle,
But then shall wear the crown
Of full and everlasting
And passionless renown.
3 The morning shall awaken,
The shadows flee away,
And each true-hearted servant
Shall shine as doth the day.
There God, our King and portion,
In fullness of His grace,
We then shall see forever,
And worship face to face.
Amen. Scripture: John 14:2 Tune Title: EWING

O Where Are Kings and Empires Now
Author: Arthur Cleveland Coxe Hymnal: The Hymnbook #431 (1955) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Church, The Church Triumphant First Line: O where are the kings and empires now Lyrics: 1 O where are kings and empires now
Of old that went and came?
But, Lord, Thy Church is praying yet,
A thousand years the same.

And her foundations strong;
We hear within the solemn voice
Of her unending song.
3 For not like kingdoms of the world
Thy holy Church, O God;
Though earthquake shocks are threatening her,
And tempests are abroad,

Immovable she stands,
A mountain that shall fill the earth,
A house not made by hands.

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken
Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Hymnbook #434 (1955) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Church, The Church Triumphant Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
He whose word cannot be broken
Formed thee for His own abode:
On the Rock of Ages founded,
What can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
Thou mayst smile at all thy foes.
2 See, the streams of living waters,
Springing from eternal Love,
Well supply thy sons and daughters,
And all fear of want remove:
Who can faint, while such a river
Ever flows their thirst to assuage;
Grace, which, like the Lord the Giver,
Never fails from age to age?
3 Round each habitation hovering,
See the cloud and fire appear
For a glory and a covering,
Showing that the Lord is near:
Thus deriving from their banner
Light by night and shade by day,
Safe they feed upon the manna
Which He gives them when they pray.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 87:3 Tune Title: AUSTRIAN HYMN

Till toils and cares shall end.
4 Beyond my highest joy
I prize her heavenly ways,
Her sweet communion, solemn vows,
Her hymns of love and praise.

To Zion shall be given
The brightest glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss of heaven.

To meet the dawning day!

In vain, the drifting sands:
Unharmed upon th' eternal rock
Th' eternal city stands.

your flock from age to age;
the wondrous tale is written
full clear, on every page.

and we their deeds accord;
and both of this bear witness:
one church, one faith, one Lord.

to share the great king's feast;
and this was all their teaching,
in every deed and word,
to all alike proclaiming
one church, one faith, one Lord.
3 Through many a day of darkness,
through many a scene of strife,
the faithful few fought bravely
to guard the nation's life.
Their gospel of redemption,
sin pardoned, earth restored,
was all in this enfolded:
one church, one faith, one Lord.
4 Your mercy will not fail us,
nor leave your work undone;
with your right hand to help us
the victory shall be won;
and then by all creation
your name shall be adored,
and this shall be our anthem:

Shall one great temple rise to Thee—
One Church for all humanity.

Soft bells of peace shall ring its chime,
Its days shall all be holy time.

Confessing, in a world's accord,
The inward Christ, the living Word.

One hope, one faith, one love restore
The seamless robe that Jesus wore.
