Who are these like stars appearing

Author: Frances E. Cox; Heinrich Theobald Schenk Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 145 hymnals Topics: The Church The Church Triumphant 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 heavenly King. 2 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. 3 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. 4 These, as 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. Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS

I heard a sound of voices

Author: G. Thring Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Appears in 64 hymnals Topics: Church Triumphant Lyrics: 1 I heard a sound of voices Around the great white throne, With harpers harping on their harps To him that sat thereon: "Salvation, glory, honou!" I heard the song arise, As throu' the courts of heav'n it rolled In wondrous harmonies. 2 From every clime and kindred, And nations from afar, As serried ranks returning home In triumph from a war, I heard the saints upraising, The myriad hosts among, In praise of Him Who died and lives, Their one glad triumph-song. 3 I saw the holy city, The New Jerusalem, Come down from heaven, a bride adorned With jeweled diadem; The flood of crystal waters Flowed down the golden street; And nations brought their honors there, And laid them at her feet. 4 And there no sun was needed, Nor moon to shine by night, God's glory did enlighten all, The Lamb Himself the light; And there His servants serve Him, And, life's long battle o'er, Enthroned with Him, their Saviour, King, They reign for evermore. 5 O great and glorious vision! The Lamb upon His throne; O wondrous sight for man to see! The Saviour with His own: To drink the living waters And stand upon the shore, Where neither sorrow, sin, nor death Shall ever enter more. 6 O Lamb of God Who reignest! Thou Bright and Morning Star, Whose glory lightens that new earth Which now we see from far! O worthy Judge eternal! When Thou dost bid us come, Then open wide the gates of pearl, And call Thy servants home. Amen. Used With Tune: HEAVENLY VOICES

Bid her long night of weeping cease; To groaning nations haste the hour Of life and freedom, light and peace. 6 Come, Spirit, make Thy wonders known, Fulfil the Father's high decree; Then earth, the might of hell o'erthrown, Shall keep her last great jubilee.
