The world is very evil

Author: John Mason Neale, 1818 - 66; Bernard of Cluny, XII cent. Hymnal: SBHC1958 #586 (1958) Lyrics: 1 The world is very evil; The times are waxing late; Be sober and keep vigil; The Judge is at the gate: The Judge that comes in mercy, The Judge that comes with might, To terminate the evil, To diadem the right. 2 Arise, arise, good Christian, Let right to wrong succeed; Let penitential sorrow To heavenly gladness lead; To light that hath no evening, That knows no moon nor sun, The light so new and golden, The light that is but one. 3 The home of fadeless splendor, Of flowers that fear no thorn, Where they shall dwell as children Who here as exiles mourn; The peace of all the faithful, The calm of all the blest, Inviolate, unvaried, Divinest, sweetest, best. 4 O happy, holy portion, Refection for the blest, True vision of true beauty, Sweet cure for all distrest! Strive, man, to win that glory; Toil, man, to gain that light; Send hope before to grasp it, Till hope be lost in sight.

Jerusalem, my happy home

Hymnal: SBHC1958 #587a (1958) Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home, When shall I come to thee? When shall my sorrows have an end? Thy joys when shall I see? 2 O happy harbor of the saints, O sweet and pleasant soil! In thee no sorrow may be found, No grief, no care, no toil. 3 Thy gardens and thy gallant walks Continually are green; There grow such sweet and pleasant flowers As nowhere else are seen. 4 Quite through the streets with silver sound The flood of life doth flow, Upon whose banks on every side The wood of life doth grow. 5 There trees for evermore bear fruit, And evermore do spring; There evermore the angels sit, And evermore do sing. 6 Jerusalem, my happy home, Would God I were in thee! Would God my woes were at an end, Thy joys that I might see!

Jerusalem, thou city fair and high

Author: Johann Matthaus Meyfart, 1590 - 1642; Catherine Winkworth, 1829 - 78 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #588 (1958) 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 Saints robed in white 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 blessèd throng Unite their myriad voices In one eternal song.

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 foreseeing 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 fulfill. 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!'

Light's abode, celestial Salem

Author: John Mason Neale, 1818 - 66; Thomas a Kempis, 1379 - 1471 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #591 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Light's abode, celestial Salem, Vision whence true peace doth spring. Brighter than the heart can fancy, Mansion of the highest King; O how glorious are the praises Which of thee the prophets sing! 2 There for ever and for ever Alleluia is outpoured; For unending, for unbroken, Is the feast-day of the Lord; All is pure and all is holy That within thy walls is stored. 3 There no cloud or passing vapor Dims the brightness of the air; Endless noonday, glorious noonday, From the Sun of suns is there; There no night brings rest from labor, For unknown are toil and care. A-men. 4 Now with gladness, now with courage, Bear the burden on thee laid, That hereafter these thy labors May with endless gifts be paid, And in everlasting glory Thou with brightness be arrayed. 5 Laud and honor to the Father, Laud and honor to the Son, Laud and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three and ever One, Consubstantial, co-eternal, While unending ages run. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Saints' Days - Minor Festivals; The Life In Christ Life Everlasting Languages: English Tune Title: TANTUM ERGO (DULCE CARMEN)

There's a Friend for little children

Author: Albert Midlane, 1825 - 1909 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #592 (1958) Lyrics: 1 There's a Friend for little children Above the bright blue sky, A Friend who never changes, Whose love will never die; Our earthly friends may fail us And change with changing years, This Friend is always worthy Of that dear Name he bears. 2 There's a rest for little children Above the bright blue sky, Who love the blessed Saviour, And to the Father cry; A rest from every trouble, From sin and danger free, Where every little pilgrim Shall rest eternally. 3 There's a home for little children Above the bright blue sky, Where Jesus reigns in glory, A home of peace and joy; No home on earth is like it, Nor can with it compare; For every one is happy, Nor could be happier there. 4 There's a crown for little children Above the bright blue sky, And all who look for Jesus Shall wear it by and by; A crown of brightest glory, Which he will then bestow On those who found his favor, And loved his Name below.

I know not what the future hath

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807 - 92 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #593a (1958) Lyrics: 1 I know not what the future hath Of marvel or surprise, Assured alone that life and death His mercy underlies. 2 I know not where his islands lift Their fronded palms in air; I only know I cannot drift Beyond his love and care. 3 And so beside the silent sea I wait the muffled oar; No harm from him can come to me On ocean or on shore. 4 And thou, O Lord, by whom are seen Thy creatures as they be, Forgive me if too close I lean My human heart on thee. 5 And if my heart and flesh are weak To bear an untried pain, The bruisèd reed thou wilt not break, But strengthen and sustain.
