O what the joy and the glory must be

Author: Peter Abelard, 1079-1142; John Mason Neale Hymnal: EH1916 #544 (1916) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Person Name: Peter Abelard, 1079-1142 Lyrics: O what the joy and the glory must be, Those endless Sabbaths the blessèd ones see! Crown for the valiant, to weary ones rest; God shall be all, and in all ever blest. What are the Monarch, his court, and his throne? What are the peace and the joy that they own? O that the blest ones who in it have share, All that they feel could as fully declare! Truly Jerusalem name we that shore, Vision of peace that brings joy evermore; Wish and fulfillment can severed be ne'er, Nor the thing prayed for come short of the prayer. There, where no troubles distraction can bring, We the sweet anthems of Sion shall sing; While for thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise Thy blessed people eternally raise. There dawns no Sabbath, no Sabbath is o'er, Those Sabbath-keepers have one evermore; One and unending is that triumph song Which to the angels and us shall belong. 506 Now, in the meanwhile, with hearts raised on high, We for that country must yearn and must sigh; Seeking Jerusalem, dear native land, Through our long exile on Babylon's strand. Low before him with our praises we fall, Of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all; Of whom, the Father; and in whom, the Son; Through whom, the Spirit, with them ever One. Amen.

Nearer, my God, to Thee

Author: Sarah F. Adams Hymnal: EH1916 #222a (1916) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.6.4 Person Name: Sarah F. Adams Lyrics: Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee, E'en though it be a cross That raiseth me; Still all my song would be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. Though like the wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone; Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. There let the way appear Steps unto heaven; All that Thou sendest me In mercy given; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. Then with my waking thoughts Bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. Or if on joyful wing, Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upwards I fly, Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. Amen.

When all Thy mercies, O my God

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: EH1916 #237 (1916) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Joseph Addison Lyrics: When all thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise. O how shall words with equal warmth The gratitude declare, That glows within my ravished heart? But thou canst read it there. Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart, That tastes those gifts with joy. Through every period of my life Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. When nature fails, and day and night Divide thy works no more, My ever grateful heart, O Lord, Thy mercy shall adore. Through all eternity, to thee A joyful song I'll raise; But O eternity's too short To utter all thy praise! Amen.

The spacious firmament on high

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: EH1916 #252 (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Person Name: Joseph Addison Lyrics: The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. The unwearied sun from day to day Does his Creator's power display, And publishes to every land The work of an almighty Hand. Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale, And nightly to the listening earth Repeats the story of her birth; Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. What though in solemn silence all Move round this dark terrestrial ball; What though no real voice nor sound Amidst their radiant orbs be found; In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice; For ever singing, as they shine, "The Hand that made us is divine."

The Lord my pasture shall prepare

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: EH1916 #317 (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Person Name: Joseph Addison Lyrics: The Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd's care; His presence shall my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye; My noonday walks he shall attend, And all my midnight hours defend. When in the sultry glebe I faint, Or on the thirsty mountain pant, To fertile vales and dewy meads My weary, wandering steps he leads, Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, Amid the verdant landscape flow. 291 Though in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My steadfast heart shall fear no ill, For thou, O Lord, art with me still; Thy friendly crook shall give me aid, And guide me through the dreadful shade. Amen. O God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit, Three in One, Be glory in the highest given, By all in earth, and all in heaven, As was through ages heretofore, Is now, and shall be evermore. Amen. Topics: Holy Communion Introits Scripture: Psalm 23 Languages: English Tune Title: CAREY

God is working his purpose out

Author: Arthur C. Ainger Hymnal: EH1916 #483a (1916) Meter: Irregular Person Name: Arthur C. Ainger Lyrics: God is working his purpose out, As year succeeds to year: God is working his purpose out, And the time is drawing near; 440 Nearer and nearer draws the time, The time that shall surely be, When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God As the waters cover the sea. From utmost east to utmost west, Where'er man's foot hath trod, By the mouth of many messengers Goes forth the voice of God; Give ear to me, ye continents, Ye isles, give ear to me, That the earth may be filled with the glory of God As the waters cover the sea. What can we do to work God's work, To prosper and increase The brotherhood of all mankind, The reign of the Prince of Peace? What can we do to hasten the time, The time that shall surely be, When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God As the waters cover the sea. March we forth in the strength of God, With the banner of Christ unfurled, That the light of the glorious gospel of truth May shine throughout the world: Fight we the fight with sorrow and sin To set their captives free, That the earth may be filled with the glory of God As the waters cover the sea. 441 All we can do is nothing worth, Unless God blesses the deed; Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide, Till God gives life to the seed; Yet nearer and nearer draws the time, The time that shall surely be, When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God As the waters cover the sea.
