Jerusalem the golden!

Author: St. Bernard of Cluny; John Mason Neale Hymnal: EH1916 #511 (1916) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: Jerusalem the golden! With milk and honey blest; Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice opprest. I know not, O I know not, What joys await us there! What radiancy of glory! What bliss beyond compare! 466 They stand, those halls of Sion, All jubilant with song, And bright with many an angel, And all the martyr throng. The Prince is ever in them, The daylight is serene; The pastures of the blessèd Are decked in glorious sheen. There is the throne of David; And there, from care released, The shout of them that triumph, The song of them that feast. And they who with their Leader Have conquered in the fight, For ever and for ever Are clad in robes of white. O sweet and blessèd country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessèd country, That eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest! Who art, with God the Father, And Spirit, ever blest. Amen.

For thee, O dear, dear country

Author: St. Bernard of Cluny; John Mason Neale Hymnal: EH1916 #512a (1916) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: For thee, O dear, dear country, Mine eyes their vigils keep; For very love beholding Thy holy name, they weep. The mention of thy glory Is unction to the breast, And medicine in sickness, And love, and life, and rest. 467 O one, O only mansion! O Paradise of joy! Where tears are ever banished And smiles have no alloy; Thy loveliness oppresses All human thought and heart, And none, O Peace, O Sion, Can sing thee as thou art. With jasper glow thy bulwarks, Thy streets with emeralds blaze; The sardius and the topaz Unite in thee their rays; Thine ageless walls are bonded With amethyst unpriced; The saints build up thy fabric, And the corner-stone is Christ. The cross is all thy splendour, The Crucified thy praise; His laud and benediction Thy ransomed people raise: Upon the Rock of Ages They build thy holy tower; Thine is the victor's laurel, And thine the golden dower. O sweet and blessèd country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessèd country, That eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest; Who art, with God the Father, And Spirit, ever blest. Amen.

There is a land of pure delight

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: EH1916 #513 (1916) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Eternal day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. There everlasting spring abides, And never-fading flowers; Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heavenly land from ours. Bright fields beyond the swelling flood Stand dressed in living green; So to the Jews fair Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between. But timorous mortals start and shrink To cross the narrow sea; And linger, trembling on the brink, And fear to launch away. O could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy doubts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love, With faith's illumined eyes: Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o'er, Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood, Should fright us from the shore.

Jerusalem, my happy home

Author: Joseph Bromehead; F. B. P. Hymnal: EH1916 #514 (1916) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: Jerusalem, my happy home, Name ever dear to me, When shall my labours have an end In joy, and peace, and thee? 469 When shall these eyes thy heaven-built walls And pearly gates behold? Thy bulwarks, with salvation strong, And streets of shining gold? There happier bowers than Eden's bloom, Nor sin nor sorrow know: Blest seats! through rude and stormy scenes I onward press to you. 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. Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there Around my Savior stand: And soon my friends in Christ below Will join the glorious band. Jerusalem, my happy home, My soul still pants for thee; Then shall my labours have an end, When I thy joys shall see. Topics: The Church Triumphant Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHWELL

There is a blessed home

Author: Henry W. Baker Hymnal: EH1916 #515a (1916) Lyrics: There is a blessed home Beyond this land of woe, Where trials never come, Nor tears of sorrow flow; Where faith is lost in sight, And patient hope is crowned, And everlasting light Its glory throws around. 470 There is a land of peace: Good angels know it well; Glad songs that never cease Within its portals swell; Around its glorious throne Ten thousand saints adore Christ, with the Father One, And Spirit, evermore. O joy all joys beyond, To see the Lamb who died, And count each sacred wound In hands, and feet, and side! To give to him the praise Of every triumph won, And sing through endless days The great things he hath done! Look up, ye saints of God! Nor fear to tread below The path your Savior trod Of daily toil and woe! Wait but a little while In uncomplaining love! His own most gracious smile Shall welcome you above.

For ever with the Lord!

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: EH1916 #516 (1916) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: For ever with the Lord! Amen! so let it be! Life from the dead is in that word, And immortality! Here in the body pent, Absent from him I roam, Yet nightly pitch my moving tent A day's march nearer home. 471 My Father's house on high, Home of my soul, how near, At times, to faith's foreseeing eye, Thy golden gates appear! Ah! then my spirit faints To reach the land I love, The bright inheritance of saints, Jerusalem above! Then, then I feel that he, Remembered or forgot, The Lord, is never far from me Though I perceive him not. So when my latest breath Shall rend the veil in twain, By death I shall escape from death, And life eternal gain.

Hark! the voice eternal

Author: John Julian Hymnal: EH1916 #518 (1916) Lyrics: Hark! the voice eternal, Robed in majesty, Calling into being Earth and sea and sky; Hark! in countless numbers All the angel-throng Hail creation's morning With one burst of song. High in regal glory, 'Mid eternal light, Reign, O King immortal, Holy, infinite. Bright the world and glorious, Calm both earth and sea, Noble in its grandeur Stood man's purity; Came the great transgression, Came the saddening fall, Death and desolation Breathing over all. Still in regal glory, 'Mid eternal light, Reigned the King immortal, Holy, infinite. 473 Long the nations waited, Through the troubled night, Looking, longing, yearning, For the promised light. Prophets saw the morning Breaking far away, Minstrels sang the splendour Of that opening day; Whilst in regal glory, 'Mid eternal light, Reigned the King immortal, Holy, infinite. Brightly dawned the Advent Of the newborn King, Joyously the watchers Heard the angels sing. Sadly closed the evening Of his hallowed life, As the noontide darkness Veiled the last dread strife. Lo! again in glory, 'Mid eternal light, Reigns the King immortal, Holy, infinite. Lo! again he cometh, Robed in clouds of fight, As the Judge eternal, Armed with power and might. Nations to his footstool Gathered then shall be; Earth shall yield her treasures, And her dead, the sea. Till the trumpet soundeth, 'Mid eternal light, Reign, thou King immortal, Holy, infinite. 474 Jesus! Lord and Master, Prophet, Priest, and King, To thy feet, triumphant, Hallowed praise we bring. Thine the pain and weeping, Thine the victory; Power, and praise, and honour, Be, O Lord, to thee. High in regal glory, 'Mid eternal light, Reign, O King immortal, Holy, infinite. Amen.
