Hymn 152

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 186 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:18 First Line: Not to the terrors of the Lord Lyrics: Not to the terrors of the Lord, The tempest, fire, and smoke; Not to the thunder of that word Which God on Sinai spoke; But we are come to Zion's hill, The city of our God, Where milder words declare his will, And spread his love abroad. Behold th' innumerable host Of angels clothed in light! Behold the spirits of the just, Whose faith is turned to sight! Behold the blest assembly there Whose names are writ in heav'n! And God, the Judge of all, declares Their vilest sins forgiv'n. The saints on earth and all the dead But one communion make; All join in Christ their living Head, And of his grace partake. In such society as this My weary soul would rest; The man that dwells where Jesus is Must be for ever blest.

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1,782 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:22-24 Lyrics: 1 Come, we that love God's name, and let our joys be known; Together God's great love proclaim, and thus surround the throne. 2 Let those refuse to sing who never knew our God; But we our thanks and praise will bring for love so deep and broad. 3 God's grace on earth is found, the seeds of glory sown; Celestial fruits on earthly ground from faith and hope have grown. 4 The hill of Zion yields a thousand sacred sweets Before we reach the heavenly fields, or walk the golden streets. 5 Then let our songs abound, and every tear be dry; We're traveling through Emmanuel's ground, to greater worlds on high.

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.

Church of God

Author: Frances R. Havergal; Daniel S. Warner Meter: 8.7.8.7 D with refrain Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:22-23 First Line: Church of God, thou spotless virgin Lyrics: 1 Church of God, thou spotless virgin, Church of Christ, for whom He died, Thou hast known no human founder, Jesus bought thee for His bride. Sanctified by God the Father, Built by Jesus Christ the Son, Tempered by the Holy Spirit, Like the Holy Three in One. 2 God Himself has set the members In His body all complete, Organized by Jesus only, Oh, the union, pure and sweet! Church of God, the angels marvel At the music of thy song; Earth and hell in terror tremble, As thy army moves along. 3 Church of God, “beloved city,” Thou art of celestial mold; Lo, from God, and out of heaven, Came the city of pure gold. Stones of jasper, clear as crystal, Is the building of thy wall; And the Lamb, thy light forever, Jesus, Jesus, all in all. 4 God’s own holiness within thee, His own beauty on thy brow; Glorified in His own image, This thy wondrous portion now. In thee dwells the triune fullness, Blessing all thy pilgrim days; All around thee His salvation, And before thee gates of praise. 5 Church of God, in heaven written, Thine the risen life of Christ, And the treasures to thee given, Never, never can be priced. Far above this world’s confusion, Walking close by Jesus’ side, Leaning on His loving bosom, Is the church, His chosen bride.

Glorious things of thee are spoken

Author: John Newton (1725-1807) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,288 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:22 Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; he whose word cannot be broken formed thee for his own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, thou mayest smile at all thy foes. 2 See! the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters, and all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river ever will their thirst assuage -- grace which, like the Lord the Giver, never fails from age to age? 3 Saviour, since of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy Name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, and all boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasure none but Zion's children know.

Redeeming Lord, your grace we prove, serve you with awe, with reverence love. 2 Lo, God is here! Both day and night united choirs of angels sing; to God, enthroned above all height, heaven's host their noblest praises bring; disdain not, Lord, our meaner song, who praise you with a stammering tongue. 3 Being of beings, may our praise your courts with grateful fragrance fill; still may we stand before your face, still hear and do your sovereign will; to you may all our thoughts arise, ceaseless, accepted sacrifice.

Let saints below in concert sing

Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 175 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:18-25 Lyrics: 1 Let saints below in concert sing With those to glory gone; For all the servants of our King In earth and heaven are one. 2 One family--we dwell with him-- One church above, beneath, Though now divided by the stream, The narrow stream of death: 3 One army of the living God, To his command we bow; Part of the host have crossed the flood, And part are crossing now. 4 E'en now to their eternal home Some happy spirits fly; And we are to the margin come, And soon expect to die. 5 E'en now, by faith, we join our hands With those that went before, And greet the ransomed blessed bands Upon th' eternal shore. 6 Lord Jesus! be our constant guide; And, when the word is given, Bid death's cold flood its waves divide, And land us safe in heaven.
