Behold what witnesses unseen
Hymnal: HGSP2008 #743 (2008) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold what witnesses unseen
encompass us around,
who, once like us, with suffering tried,
but now with glory crowned.
2 Let us, with zeal like theirs inspired,
begin the Christian race,
and, freed from each encumbering weight,
their holy footsteps trace.
3 Behold a witness nobler still,
who trod affliction's path,
Jesus, at once the finisher
and author of our faith.
4 He for the joy before him set,
so generous was his love,
endured the cross, despised the shame,
and now he reigns above.
5 Then let our hearts no more despond,
our hands be weak no more;
still let us trust our Father's love,
his wisdom still adore. Topics: The Church Celebrates Oneness with the Church in Heaven; Communion of Saints Scripture: Hebrews 12 Languages: English Tune Title: WETHERBY
Behold what witnesses unseen
Hark how the adoring hosts above
Hymnal: HGSP2008 #744 (2008) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Hark how the adoring hosts above,
with songs surround the throne!
Ten thousand, thousand are their tongues;
but all their hearts are one.
2 Worthy the Lamb that died, they cry,
to be exalted thus;
worthy the Lamb, let us reply;
for he was slain for us.
3 Thou hast redeemed us with thy blood,
and set the prisoners free;
thou mad'st us kings and priests to God,
and we shall reign with thee.
4 From every kindred, every tongue,
thou brought'st thy chosen race;
and distant lands and isles have shared
the riches of thy grace.
5 To him who sits upon the throne,
the God whom we adore,
and to the Lamb that once was slain,
be glory evermore. Topics: The Church Celebrates Oneness with the Church in Heaven; Christ Risen Ascension; Christian Year Ascension; Salvation and Redemption Scripture: Revelation 5:11-14 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MAGNUS (NOTTINGHAM)
Hark how the adoring hosts above
How bright these glorious spirits shine!
Hymnal: HGSP2008 #745 (2008) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 How bright these glorious spirits shine!
Whence all their bright array?
How came they to the blissful seats
of everlasting day?
Lo! these are they, from sufferings great
who came to realms of light,
and in the blood of Christ have washed
those robes which shine so bright.
2 Now, with triumphal palms, they stand
before the throne on high,
and serve the God they love, amidst
the glories of the sky.
His presence fills each heart with joy,
tunes every mouth to sing:
by day, by night, the sacred courts
with glad hosannas ring.
3 Hunger and thirst are felt no more,
nor suns with scorching ray;
God is their sun, whose cheering beams
diffuse eternal day.
The Lamb who dwells amidst the throne
shall o'er them still preside,
feed them with nourishment divine,
and all their footsteps guide.
4 'Mong pastures green he'll lead his flock,
where living streams appear;
and God the Lord from every eye
shall wipe off every tear. Topics: The Church Celebrates Oneness with the Church in Heaven; Communion of Saints; Funerals general Scripture: Revelation 7:13-17 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ASAPH

Jerusalem the golden
Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866); Bernard of Cluny (12th century) Hymnal: HGSP2008 #747 (2008) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden,
with milk and honey blessed,
beneath your contemplation
sink heart and voice oppressed:
I know not, oh, I know not
what joys await us there,
what radiancy of glory,
what bliss beyond compare.
2 They stand, those halls of Zion,
all jubilant with song,
and radiant with the angels,
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.
3 There is the throne of David;
and there, from care released,
the shout of those who triumph,
the song of those who feast;
and they who, with their Leader,
have conquered in the fight,
for ever and for ever
are clad in robes of white.
4 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 above,
where you, with God the Father,
and Spirit, reign in love. Topics: The Holy Spirit The Church Celebrates - Oneness with the Church in Heaven; Communion of Saints; Funerals general; Heaven Scripture: Ezekiel 44:1-4 Languages: English Tune Title: EWING
Jerusalem the golden
As stars adorn the night-veiled sky
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (b. 1944) Hymnal: HGSP2008 #748 (2008) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 As stars adorn the night-veiled sky,
arrayed like jewels rare and bright,
so shine God's saints in every age
to give the world new hope, new light.
2 The light saints bear is not their own
but shines through them as gift and sign:
to show how God can use and bless
frail human means for ends divine.
3 Through saints we glimpse the light of Christ,
the Morning Star that crowns the night,
whose rising heralds God's new day,
the promised dawn of life and light.
4 That light is ours to claim and share,
not merely praise or gaze upon:
for all who are baptized become
light-bearers through the Risen One.
5 The saints inspire and challenge us
our holy calling to embrace:
to bear Christ's light in our own day,
to be the vessels of God's grace. Topics: The Church Celebrates Oneness with the Church in Heaven; Communion of Saints; Jesus Names and images for; Light Scripture: 1 Peter 2:9 Languages: English Tune Title: WAREHAM
