Light of the lonely pilgrim's heart
Author: Sir Edward Denny Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 142 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 1:5-7 Used With Tune: EAGLEY
Light of the lonely pilgrim's heart
Palms of glory, raiment bright
Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 139 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 1:5-6 Lyrics: 1 Palms of glory, raiment bright,
crowns that never fade away,
gird and deck the saints in light:
priests and kings and conquerors they.
2 Yet the conquerors bring their palms
to the Lamb amidst the throne,
and proclaim in joyful psalms
victory through his cross alone.
3 Kings for harps their crowns resign,
crying, as they strike the chords,
'Take the kingdom, it is thine,
King of kings and Lord of lords.'
4 Round the altar priests confess,
if their robes are white as snow,
'twas the Saviour's righteousness,
and his blood, that made them so.
5 They were mortal too like us:
O, when we like them must die,
may our souls translated thus
triumph, reign, and shine on high. Topics: Atonement; Future hope; Heaven; Kingdom of God; Victory; Saints Used With Tune: PALMS OF GLORY

Songs of Thankfulness and Praise
Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 127 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 1:7 Lyrics: 1 Songs of thankfulness and praise,
Jesus, Lord, to you we raise;
once revealed, when heaven's star
brought the wise men from afar;
branch of royal David's stem
in your birth at Bethlehem,
Word before the world began,
God revealed to us in man.
2 God revealed at Jordan's stream,
prophet, priest and king supreme;
once revealed in power divine
changing water into wine;
Cana's holy wedding guest
keeping to the last the best;
Word before the world began,
God revealed to us in man.
3 God revealed in valiant fight,
conquering the devil's might;
sins forgiven, sickness healed,
life restored and God revealed:
once revealed in gracious will
ever bringing good from ill,
Word before the world began,
God revealed to us in man.
4 Stars shall fall and heavens fade,
sun and moon shall dark be made;
Christ will then like lightning shine,
all will see the glorious sign;
all will then the trumpet hear,
all will see the Son appear,
Word before the world began,
God revealed to us in man. Topics: Jesus Christ Baptism Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR Text Sources: Jubilate Hymns, 1982, rev.

Jesus, Thy Church with Longing Eyes
Author: William H. Bathurst Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 99 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 1:7 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy Church with longing eyes
For Thine expected coming waits,
When will the promised Light arise
And glory beam from Zion’s gates?
2 E’en now, when tempests round us fall,
And wintry clouds o’ercast the sky,
Thy words with pleasure we recall
And deem that our redemption’s nigh.
3 Come, gracious Lord, our hearts renew,
Our foes repel, our wrongs redress,
Man’s rooted enmity subdue,
And crown Thy Gospel with success.
4 Oh, come and reign o’er every land;
Let Satan from his throne be hurled,
All nations bow to Thy command,
And grace revive a dying world.
5 Teach us in watchfulness and prayer
To wait for the appointed hour
And fit us for Thy grace to share
The triumphs of Thy conquering power.
Amen.

what no mortal might could gain,
on the eternal throne of Heaven,
in thy Father’s power to reign.

heaven above and earth below;
while the depths of hell before thee
trembling and defeated bow.

follow thee above the sky;
hear our prayers thy grace imploring,
lift our souls to thee on high.

on the clouds of heaven shalt shine
we thy flock may stand before thee,
owned for evermore as thine.

in thy Father’s might abiding

Why it should be thus all the day long;
While there are others living about us,
Never molested though in the wrong.

Farther along we’ll know all about it,
Farther along we’ll understand why;
Cheer up, don't worry, live in the sunshine,
We’ll understand it all by and by.
2 When death has come and taken our loved ones,
It leaves our home so lonely and drear;
Then do we wonder why others prosper,
Living so wicked year after year. [Refrain]
3 Faithful till death said our loving Master,
A few more days to labor and wait;
Toils of the road will then seem as nothing,
As we sweep through the beautiful gate. [Refrain]
4 When we see Jesus coming in glory,
When He comes from His home in the sky;
Then we shall meet Him in that bright mansion,
We'll understand it all by and by. [Refrain]

Praise to the Living God!
Author: M. Landsberg; N. Mann Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 65 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 1:8 Lyrics: 1 Praise to the living God!
All praised be his name,
who was, and is, and is to be,
for aye the same.
The one eternal God
ere aught that now appears:
the first, the last, beyond all thought
his timeless years.
2 Formless, all lovely forms
declare his loveliness:
holy, no holiness of earth
can his express.
Lo, he is Lord of all;
creation speaks his praise,
and ev'rywhere above, below,
his will obeys.
3 His Spirit floweth free,
high surging where it will:
in prophet's word he spake of old;
he speaketh still.
Established is his law,
and changeless it shall stand,
deep written on the human heart,
on sea, on land.
4 Eternal life hath he
implanted in the soul;
his love shall be our strength and stay
while ages roll.
Praise to the living God!
All praised be his name
who was, and is, and is to be,
for aye the same. Topics: God Eternity and Power; In The Beginning Creator of Heaven and Earth Used With Tune: LEONI Text Sources: Yigdal: Jewish hymn of praise
