Forgive, O Lord, Our Severing Ways

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Hymnal: The Hymnbook #476 (1955) Meter: 8.8.8 Topics: Church, The Church Triumphant Lyrics: 1 Forgive, O Lord, our severing ways, The rival altars that we raise, The wrangling tongues that mar Thy praise. 2 Thy grace impart; in time to be Shall one great temple rise to Thee— One Church for all humanity. 3 White flowers of love its walls shall climb, Soft bells of peace shall ring its chime, Its days shall all be holy time. 4 A sweeter song shall then be heard, Confessing, in a world's accord, The inward Christ, the living Word. 5 That song shall swell from shore to shore, One hope, one faith, one love restore The seamless robe that Jesus wore.

Hills of the North, Rejoice

Author: Charles E. Oakley Hymnal: The Hymnbook #478 (1955) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Topics: Church, The Church Triumphant Lyrics: 1 Hills of the North, rejoice; River and mountain spring, Hark to the advent voice; Valley and low land, sing; Though absent long, your Lord is nigh; He judgment brings and victory. 2 Isles of the Southern seas, Deep in your coral caves Pent be each warring breeze, Lulled be your restless waves: He comes to reign with boundless sway, And makes your wastes His great highway. 3 Lands of the East, awake, Soon shall your sons be free; The sleep of ages break, And rise to liberty. On your far hills, long cold and gray, Has dawned the everlasting day. 4 Shores of the utmost West, Ye that have waited long, Unvisited, unblest, Break forth to swelling song; High raise the note, that Jesus died, Yet lives and reigns, the Crucified. 5 Shout, while ye journey home; Songs be in every mouth; Lo, from the North we come, From East, and West, and South. City of God, the bond are free, We come to live and reign in thee! Amen. Scripture: Psalm 2:8 Tune Title: LITTLE CORNARD

Blessed city, heavenly Salem

Author: John Mason Neale Hymnal: The Hymnal #508a (1916) Topics: The Church Triumphant Lyrics: Blessed city, heavenly Salem, Vision dear of peace and love, Who of living stones art builded In the height of heav'n above, And, with angel hosts encircled, As a bride dost earthward move; 463 From celestial realms descending, Bridal glory round thee shed, Meet for him whose love espoused thee, To thy Lord shalt thou be led; All thy streets and all thy bulwarks Of pure gold are fashionèd. Bright thy gates of pearl are shining, They are open evermore; And by virtue of his merits Thither faithful souls do soar, Who, for Christ's dear Name, in this world Pain and tribulation bore. Many a blow and biting sculpture Polished well those stones elect, In their places now compacted By the heavenly Architect, Who therewith hath willed for ever That his palace should be decked. Laud and honour to the Father, Laud and honour to the Son, Laud and honour to the Spirit, Ever Three, and ever One, Consubstantial, Co-eternal, While unending ages run. Amen.

Naught to this seat approacheth Their sweet peace to molest; They sing their God for ever, Nor day nor night they rest.

Glorious Things of You Are Spoken

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #522 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Church--Triumphant Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of you are spoken, Zion, city of our God; he whose word cannot be broken, formed you for his own abode; on the rock of ages founded, what can shake your sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded you may smile at all your foes. 2 Blessed inhabitants of Zion, washed in the Redeemer's blood! Jesus, whom their souls rely on, makes them kings and priests to God; 'tis his love his people raises in his courts to reign as kings, and as priests, his solemn praises each for a thankoff'ring brings. 3 Savior, since of Zion's city I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in your name. Fading are the worldling's pleasures, all their boasted pomp and show, solid joys and lasting treasures none but Zion's children know.
