Jerusalem, thou city fair and high

Author: John Matthew Meyfart; Miss Winkworth Hymnal: CBWM1872 #578a (1890) Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, thou city fair and high, Would God I were in thee! My longing heart fain, fain to thee would fly! It will not stay with me; Far over vale and mountain, Far over field and plain, It hastes to seek its Fountain And quit this world of pain. 2 O happy day, and yet far happier hour, When wilt thou come at last? When fearless to my Father's love and power, Whose promise standeth fast, My soul I gladly render, For surely will His hand Lead her with guidance tender To heaven her fatherland. 3 O Zoin, hail! Bright city, now unfold The gates of grace to me! How many a time I longed for thee of old, Ere yet I was set free From yon dark life of sadness, Yon world of shadowy nought, And God had given the gladness, The heritage I sought. 4 O what the tribe, or what the glorious host, Comes sweeping swiftly down? The chosen ones on earth who wrought the most, The Church's brightest crown, Our Lord hath sent to meet me, As in the far-off years, Their words oft came to greet me In yonder land of tears. 5 Innumerous choirs before the shining throne Their joyful anthems raise, Till heaven's glad halls are echoing with the tone Of that great hymn of praise, And all its host rejoices, And all its blessed throng Unite their myriad voices In one eternal song.

Jerusalem, my happy home

Author: Francis Baker Hymnal: CBWM1872 #579 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home, Name ever dear to me! When shall my labors have an end In joy, and peace, and thee? 2 When shall these eyes thy heaven-built walls And pearly gates behold? Thy bulwarks with salvation strong, And streets of shining gold? 3 O when, thou city of my God, Shall I thy courts ascend, Where evermore the angels sing, Where sabbaths have no end? 4 There happier bowers than Eden's bloom, Nor sin nor sorrow know: Blest seats! through rude and stormy scenes I onward press to you. 5 Why should I shrink from pain and woe, Or feel at death dismay? I've Canaan's goodly land in view, And realms of endless day. 6 Apostles, martyrs, prophets there Around my Saviour stand; And soon my friends in Christ below Will join the glorious band. 7 Jerusalem, my happy home! My soul still pants for thee; then shall my labors have an end, When I thy joys shall see. Topics: Death and Eternity Heaven; Easter Season, Fourth Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: MACFARREN

Wake, awake, for night is flying

Author: Miss Winkworth; Dr. Philip Nicolai Hymnal: CBWM1872 #580 (1890) Lyrics: 1 Wake, awake, for night is flying, The watchmen on the heights are crying; Awake, Jerusalem, at last! Midnight hears the welcome voices, And at the thrilling cry rejoices: Come forth, ye virgins, night is past! The Bridegroom comes, awake, Your lamps with gladness take; Hallelujah! And for His marriage feast prepare, For ye must go to meet Him there. 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing, And all her heart with joy is springing, She wakes, she rises from her gloom; For her Lord comes down all glorious, The strong in grace, in truth victorious, Her Star is risen, her Light is come! Ah come, Thou blessed Lord, O Jesus, Son of God, Hallelujah! We follow till the halls we see Where Thou hast bid us sup with Thee. 3 Now let all the heavens adore Thee, And men and angels sing before Thee, With harp and cymbal's clearest tone; Of one pearl each shining portal, Where we are with the choir immortal, Of angels round Thy dazzling throne; No eye has seen, nor ear Hath yet attained to hear What there is ours. But we rejoice, and sing to Thee Our hymns of joy eternally.

Hear what God the Lord hath spoken

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: CBWM1872 #581 (1890) Meter: 8.7 Lyrics: 1 Hear what God the Lord hath spoken: O my people, faint and few, Comfortless, afflicted, broken, Fair abodes I build for you. Thorns of heartfelt tribulation, Shall no more perplex your ways: You shall name your walls salvation, And your gates shall all be praise. 2 There, like streams that feed the garden, Pleasures without end shall flow; For the Lord, your faith rewarding, All His bounty shall bestow. Still in undisturbed possession, Peace and righteousness shall reign: Never shall you feel oppression, Hear the voice of war again. 3 Ye no more your suns descending, Waning moons no more shall see; But, your griefs for ever ended, Find eternal noon in Me. God shall rise, and shining o'er you, Change to day the gloom of night; He, the Lord, shall be your Glory, God your everlasting Light.

What are these in bright array

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: CBWM1872 #582 (1890) Lyrics: 1 What are these in bright array, This innumerable throng, Round the altar night and day Hymning one triumphant song? "Worthy is the Lamb, once slain, Blessing, honor, glory, power, Wisdom, riches to obtain, New dominion every hour." 2 These through fiery trials trod; These from great affliction came; Now, before the throne of God, Sealed with His Almighty Name, Clad in raiment pure and white, Victor-palms in every hand, Through their dear Redeemer's might, More than conquerors they stand. 3 Hunger, thirst, disease unknown, On immortal fruits they feed; Them the Lamb amidst the throne Shall to living fountains lead: Joy and gladness banish sighs; Perfect love dispels all fears; And for ever from their eyes God shall wipe away the tears.

The goodly land I see

Author: Thomas Olivers Hymnal: CBWM1872 #583 (1890) Meter: 6.8.4 Lyrics: 1 The goodly land I see, With peace and plenty blest: A land of sacred liberty, And endless rest. There milk and honey flow, And oil and wine abound, And trees of life for ever grow, With mercy crowned. 2 There dwells the Lord our King, The Lord our Righteousness, Triumphant o'er the world and sin, The Prince of Peace; On Zions' sacred height, His kingdom still maintains; And glorious, with His saints in light, For ever reigns. 3 He keeps His own secure; He guards them by His side; Arrays in garments white and pure His spotless Bride; With streams of sacred bliss, With groves of living joys, With all the fruits of paradise, He still supplies. 4 Before the great Three-One They all exulting stand, And tell the wonders He hath done Through all their land: The listening spheres attend, And swell the growing fame; And sing, in songs which never end, The wondrous Name.

The God who reigns on high

Author: Thomas Olivers Hymnal: CBWM1872 #584 (1890) Meter: 6.8.4 Lyrics: 1 The God who reigns on high, The great archangels sing, And "Holy, holy, holy," cry, "Almighty King! Who was and is the same, And evermore shall be; Jehovah Father, great I AM, We worship Thee." 2 Before the Saviour's face The ransomed nations bow, O'erwhelmed at His almighty grace, For ever new: He shows His prints of love; They kindle to a flame, And sound, through all the worlds above, The slaughtered Lamb. 3 The whole triumphant host Give thanks to God on high; "Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!" Hail, Abraham's God and mine! I join the heavenly lays; All might and majesty are Thine, And endless praise.

For ever with the Lord!

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: CBWM1872 #585 (1890) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 For ever with the Lord! Amen! so let it be; Life from the dead is in that word, 'Tis immortality. 2 Here in the body pent, Absent from Him I roam, Yet nightly pitch my moving tent A day's march nearer Home. 3 My Father's House on high, Home of my soul! how near, At times to faith's far-seeing eye Thy golden gates appear! 4 Ah, then my spirit faints To reach the land I love, The bright inheritance of saints, Jerusalem above! 5 For ever with the Lord! Father, if 'tis Thy will, The promise of that faithful word, E'en here to me fulfil. 6 Be Thou at my right hand, Then can I never fail; Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand, Fight, and I must prevail. 7 So when my latest breath Shall rend the veil in twain, By death I shall escape from death, And life eternal gain. 8 Knowing as I am known, How shall I love that word, And oft repeat before the throne, "For ever with the Lord!"

Brief life is here our portion

Author: Bernard de Morlaix; John Mason Neale Hymnal: CBWM1872 #586 (1890) Meter: 7.6 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 That we should look, poor wanderers, To have our Home on high! The worms should seek for dwellings Beyond the starry sky! And now we fight the battle, But then shall wear the crown Of full and everlasting And passionless renown. 3 For thee, O dear, dear Country! Mine eyes their vigils keep; For very love, beholding Thy happy name, they weep: The mention of thy glory Is unction to the breast, And medicine in sickness, And love, and life, and rest. 4 Thou hast no shore, fair ocean! Thou hast no time, bright day! Dear fountain of refreshment To pilgrims far away! Upon the Rock of Ages They raise thy holy tower: Thine is the victor's laurel, And thine the golden dower. 5 There glory yet unheard of Shall shed abroad its ray, Resolving all enigmas, An endless Sabbath day. There God, our King and Portion, In fulness of His grace, Shall we behold for ever, And worship face to face!
