Hark! the sound of holy voices

Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Hymnal: The Hymnal 1982 #275 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Holy Days and Various Occasions Saints' Days: All Saints' Day (November 1) Lyrics: 1. Hark! the sound of holy voices, chanting at the crystal sea, Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! Lord, to thee! Multitude which none can number like the stars in glory stands, clothed in white apparel, holding palms of victory in their hands. 2. Patriarch, and holy prophet, who prepared the way for Christ, king, apostle, saint, confessor, martyr and evangelist, saintly maiden, godly matron, widows who have watched to prayer, joined in holy concert, singing to the Lord of all, are there. 3. Marching with thy cross, their banner, they have triumphed, following thee, the Captain of salvation, thee, their Savior and their King. Gladly, Lord, with thee they suffered; gladly, Lord, with thee they died; and by death to life immortal they were born and glorified. 4. Now they reign in heavenly glory, now they walk in golden light, now they drink, as from a river, holy bliss and infinite; love and peace they taste for ever, and all truth and knowledge see in the beatific vision Of the blessed Trinity.

Ten thousand times ten thousand

Author: Rev. Henry Alford Hymnal: The Hymnal #427 (1950) Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Topics: All Saints' Day 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

Come, let us join our friends above

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #495 (1913) Topics: The Church Year All Saints Day; The Church Year All Saints Day Lyrics: 1 Come, let us join our friends above That have obtained the prize, And on the eagle wings of love To joys celestial rise; Let all the saints terrestrial sing, With those to glory gone; For all the servants of our King, In earth and heaven, are one. 2 One family we dwell in Him, One Church above, beneath, Though now divided by the stream, The narrow stream of death; One army of the living God, To His command we bow; Part of His host hath crossed the flood, And part are crossing now. 3 Ten thousand to their endless home This solemn moment fly; And we are to the margin come, And we expect to die: His militant, embodied host, With wistful looks we stand, And long to see that happy coast, And reach that heavenly land, 4 Our old companions in distress We haste again to see, And eager long for our release And full felicity: E'en now by faith we join our hands With those that went before, And greet the blood-besprinkled bands On the eternal shore. 5 Our spirits, too, shall quickly join, Like theirs with glory crowned, And shout to see our Captain's sign, To hear His trumpet sound. O that we now might grasp our Guide! O that the word were given! Come, Lord of Hosts, the waves divide, And land us all in heaven. Tune Title: [Come, let us join our friends above]

Who Are These, Like Stars Appearing?

Author: Heinrich Theobald Schenk Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #630 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: All Saint' Day First Line: Who are these, like stars appearing Lyrics: 1 Who are these, like stars appearing, These before God's throne who stand? Each a golden crown is wearing; Who are all this glorious band? Alleluia! hark they sing, Praising loud their heav'nly King. 2 Who are these of dazzling brightness, These in God's own truth arrayed, Clad in robes of purest whiteness, Robes whose lustre ne'er shall fade, Ne'er be touched by time's rude hand? Whence comes all this glorious band? 3 These are they who have contended For their Saviour's honor long, Wrestling on till life was ended, Following not the sinful throng; These, who well the fight sustained, Triumph through the Lamb have gained. 4 These are they whose hearts were riven, Sore with woe and anguish tried, Who in prayer full oft have striven With the God they glorified: Now, their painful conflict o'er, God has bid them weep no more. 5 These, like priests, have watched and waited, Offering up to Christ their will. Soul and body consecrated, Day and night to serve Him still. Now in God's most holy place Blest they stand before His face. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ALL SAINTS (OLD)
