Jerusalem the golden

Author: Bernard of Cluny, 12th cent.; John Mason Neale, 1830-1895 Hymnal: The Hymnal 1982 #624 (1985) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: The Church Triumphant Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden, with milk and honey blest, beneath thy contemplation sink heart and voice oppressed: I know not, oh, 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 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. 4 Oh, sweet and blessed country, the home of God's elect! Oh, 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 the Spirit, ever blest.

Let all thy days till life shall end, whate'er he send, be filled with praise. Languages: English Tune Title: DARWALL'S 148TH

God of Grace and God of Glory

Author: Harry Emerson Fosdick Hymnal: Voices United #686 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Church Triumphant Lyrics: 1 God of grace and God of glory, on your people pour your power; now fulfil your church’s story; bring its bud to glorious flower. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the facing of this hour. 2 Lo, the hosts of evil round us scorn your Christ, assail your ways; fears and doubts too long have bound us; free our hearts to work and praise. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the living of these days. 3 Cure your children’s warring madness, bend our pride to your control; shame our wanton selfish gladness, rich in goods and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, lest we miss your kingdom's goal. 4 Set our feet on lofty places; gird our lives that they may be armoured with all Christ-like graces, pledged to set all captives free. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, that we fail not them nor thee. Languages: English Tune Title: RHUDDLAN

O God, You Gave Your Servant John

Author: Joy F. Patterson Hymnal: Voices United #718 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: Church Triumphant Lyrics: 1 O Lord, you gave your servant John a vision of the world to come: a radiant city filled with light, where you with us will make your home; where neither grief nor pain shall dwell, since former things have passed away, and where they need no sun nor moon; your glory lights eternal day. 2 Our cities wear great shrouds of pain; beneath our gleaming towers of wealth the homeless crouch in rain and snow, the poor cry out for strength and health. Youth’s hope is dimmed by ignorance; unwilling, workers idled stand; indifference walks unheeding by as hunger stretches out its hand. 3 Come, Lord, make real John’s vision fair; come, dwell with us, make all things new; we try in vain to save our world unless our help shall come from you. Come, strengthen us to live in love; bid hatred, greed, injustice cease. Your glory all the light we need, let all our cities shine forth peace. Tune Title: CANDLER
