'Lift up your hearts!' We lift them, Lord, to thee

Author: Henry Montagu Butler, 1833-1918 Hymnal: NEH1985 #398 (1986) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 'Lift up your hearts!' We lift them, Lord, to thee; Here at thy feet none other may we see: 'Lift up your hearts!' E'en so, with one accord, we lift them up, we lift them to the Lord. 2 Above the level of the former years, The mire of sin, the slough of guilty fears, The mist of doubt, the blight of love's decay, O Lord of Light, lift all our hearts to-day! 3 Above the swamps of subterfuge and shame, The deeds, the thoughts, that honour may not name, The halting tongue that dares not tell the whole, O Lord of Truth, lift every Christian soul! 4 Lift every gift that thou thyself hast given: Low lies the best till lifted up to heaven: Low lie the bounding heart, the teeming brain, Till, sent from God, they mount to God again. 5 Then, as the trumpet-call, in after years, 'Lift up your hearts!' rings pealing in our ears, Still shall those hearts respond, with full accord, 'We lift them up, we lift them to the Lord!'

O what their joy and their glory must be

Author: Peter Abelard, 1079-1142; J. M. Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: NEH1985 #432 (1986) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 O what their joy and their glory must be, Those endless sabbaths the blessed ones see! Crown for the valiant; to weary ones rest; God shall be all, and in all ever blest. 2 *What are the Monarch, his court, and his throne? What are the peace and the joy that they own? Tell us, ye blest ones, that in it have share, If what ye feel ye can fully declare. 3 Truly Jerusalem name we that shore, 'Vision of peace,' that brings joy evermore! Wish and fufillment can severed be ne'er, Nor the thing prayed for come short of the prayer. 4 We, where no trouble distraction can bring, Safely the anthems of Sion shall sing; While for thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise Thy blessed people shall evermore raise. 5 *There dawns no sabbath, no sabbath is o'er, Those sabbath-keepers have one and no more; One and unending is that triumph-song Which to the angels and us shall belong. 6 *Now in the meanwhile, with hearts raised on high, We for that country must yearn and must sigh, Seeking Jerusalem, dear native land, Through our long exile on Babylon's strand. 7 Low before him with our praises we fall, Of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all; Of whom, the Father; and through whom, the Son; In whom, the Spirit, with these ever One.

For all the Saints who from their labours rest

Author: W. Walsham How, 1823-97 Hymnal: NEH1985 #197 (1986) Meter: 10.10.10.4 Lyrics: 1 For all the Saints who from their labours rest, Who thee by faith before the world confest. Thy name, O Jesu, be for ever blest. Alleluya! Alleluya! 2 Thou wast their Rock, their Fortress, and their Might; Thou, Lord, their Captain in the well fought fight; Thou in the darkness drear their one true Light. Alleluya! Alleluya! 3 O may thy soldiers, faithful, true, and bold, Fight as the Saints who nobly fought of old, And win, with them, the victor's crown of gold. Alleluya! Alleluya! 4 O blest communion! fellowship divine! We feebly struggle, they in glory shine; Yet all are one in thee, for all are thine. Alleluya! Alleluya! 5 And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long, Steals on the ear the distant triumph-song, And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong. Alleluya! Alleluya! 6 The golden evening brightens in the west; Soon, soon to faithful warriors cometh rest: Sweet is the calm of Paradise the blest. Alleluya! Alleluya! 7 But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day; The Saints triumphant rise in bright array: The King of glory passes on his way. Alleluya! Alleluya! 8 From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast, Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host, Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Alleluya! Alleluya!

Disposer supreme, and judge of the earth

Author: J. B. de Santeuil, 1630-97; Isaac Williams, 1802-65 Hymnal: NEH1985 #216 (1986) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Lyrics: 1 Disposer supreme, and judge of the earth, Who choosest for thine the weak and the poor, To frail earthen vessels, and things of no worth, Entrusting thy riches which ay shall endure; 2 Throughout the wide world their message is heard, And swift as the wind it circles the earth; It echoes the voice of the heavenly Word, And brings unto mortals the hope of new birth. 3 Their cry thunders forth, 'Christ Jesus is Lord', Then Satan doth fear, his citadels fall: As when those shrill trumpets were raised at thy word, And one long blast shattered proud Jericho's wall. 4 O loud be the call, and stirring the sound, To rouse us, O Lord, from sin's deadly sleep; May lights which thou kindlest in darkness around, The dull soul awaken, her vigil to keep. 5 All honour and praise, dominion and might, To thee, Three in One, eternally be, Who pouring around us thy glorious light, Dost call us from darkness thy glory to see.

Praise him on the earth, In tuneful accord, Ye sons of new birth; Praise him who has brought you His grace from above, Praise him who has taught you To sing of his love. 3 O praise ye the Lord! All things that give sound; Each jubilant chord, Re-echo around; Loud organs, his glory Forth tell in deep tone, And sweet harp, the story Of what he has done. 4 O praise ye the Lord! Thanksgiving and song To him be out-poured All ages along: For love in creation, For heaven restored, For grace of salvation, O praise ye the Lord!
