O what their joy and their glory must be
Author: Peter Abelard, 1079-1142; J. M. Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: NEH1985 #432 (1986) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Person Name: Peter Abelard, 1079-1142 Lyrics: 1 O what their joy and their glory must be,
Those endless sabbaths the blessed ones see!
Crown for the valiant; to weary ones rest;
God shall be all, and in all ever blest.
2 *What are the Monarch, his court, and his throne?
What are the peace and the joy that they own?
Tell us, ye blest ones, that in it have share,
If what ye feel ye can fully declare.
3 Truly Jerusalem name we that shore,
'Vision of peace,' that brings joy evermore!
Wish and fufillment can severed be ne'er,
Nor the thing prayed for come short of the prayer.
4 We, where no trouble distraction can bring,
Safely the anthems of Sion shall sing;
While for thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise
Thy blessed people shall evermore raise.
5 *There dawns no sabbath, no sabbath is o'er,
Those sabbath-keepers have one and no more;
One and unending is that triumph-song
Which to the angels and us shall belong.
6 *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.
7 Low before him with our praises we fall,
Of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all;
Of whom, the Father; and through whom, the Son;
In whom, the Spirit, with these ever One.

O what their joy and their glory must be
Joy and triumph everlasting
Author: Adam of St Victor; Robert Bridges, 1844-1930 Hymnal: NEH1985 #229 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Person Name: Adam of St Victor Lyrics: 1 Joy and triumph everlasting
Hath the heavenly Church on high;
For that pure immortal gladness
All our feast-days mourn and sigh:
Yet in death’s dark desert wild
Doth the mother aid her child,
Guards celestial thence attend us,
Stand in combat to defend us.
2 Here the world’s perpetual warfare
Holds from heaven the soul apart;
Legioned foes in shadowy terror
Vex the Sabbath of the heart.
O how happy that estate
Where delight doth not abate;
For that home the spirit yearneth,
Where none languisheth nor mourneth.
3 There the body hath no torment,
There the mind is free from care,
There is every voice rejoicing,
Every heart is loving there.
Angels in that city dwell;
Them their King delighteth well:
Still they joy and weary never,
More and more desiring ever.
4 There the seers and fathers holy,
There the prophets glorified,
All their doubts and darkness ended,
In the Light of light abide.
There the Saints, whose memories old
We in faithful hymns uphold,
Have forgot their bitter story
In the joy of Jesu’s glory.
5 There from lowliness exalted
Dwelleth Mary, Queen of grace,
Ever with her presence pleading
'Gainst the sin of Adam's race.
To that glory of the blest,
By their prayers and faith confest,
Us, us too, when death hath freed us,
Christ of his good mercy lead us. Topics: The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holidays: General; Common of Saints; Funerals and The Departed; All Saints November 1st Languages: English Tune Title: GENEVAN PSALM 42
Joy and triumph everlasting
The spacious firmament on high
Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Hymnal: NEH1985 #267 (1986) Person Name: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Lyrics: 1 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.
2 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.
3 What though in solemn silence all
Move round this dark terrestrial ball;
What though nor real voice nor sound
Amid 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 spacious firmament on high
The Lord my pasture shall prepare
Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Hymnal: NEH1985 #458 (1986) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Person Name: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Lyrics: 1 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.
2 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.
3 Though in a bare and rugged way
Through devious lonely wilds I stray,
Thy bounty shall my pains beguile;
The barren wilderness shall smile
With sudden greens and herbage crowned,
And streams shall murmur all around.
4 Though in the paths of death I tread,
With gloomy horrors overspread,
My steadfast heart shall fear no ill,
For thou, 0 Lord, art with me still:
Thy friendly staff shall give me aid,
And guide me through the dreadful shade.

When all thy mercies, O my God
Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Hymnal: NEH1985 #472a (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Lyrics: 1 WHEN all thy mercies, O my God,
My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I'm lost
In wonder, love, and praise.
2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul
Thy tender care bestowed,
Before my infant heart conceived
From whom those comforts flowed.
3 When in the slippery paths of youth
With heedless steps I ran,
Thine arm unseen conveyed me safe,
And led me up to man.
4 When worn with sickness oft hast thou
With health renewed my face;
And when in sins and sorrows sunk,
Revived my soul with grace.
5 Through every period of my life
Thy goodness I'll pursue,
And after death in distant worlds
The glorious theme renew.
6 Through all eternity to thee
A joyful song I'll raise;
For O, eternity's too short
To utter all thy praise. Languages: English Tune Title: BELGRAVE

God is working his purpose out as year succeeds to year
Author: A. C. Ainger, 1841-1919 Hymnal: NEH1985 #495 (1986) Meter: Irregular Person Name: A. C. Ainger, 1841-1919 Lyrics: 1 God is working his purpose out as year succeeds to year,
God is working his purpose out and the time is drawing near;
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.
2 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.'
3 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 lory of God as the waters cover the sea?
4 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.
5 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. Topics: Church and People The Kingdom of God; The Christian Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: BENSON

Once in royal David's city
Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander, 1818-95 Hymnal: NEH1985 #34 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Person Name: Mrs. C. F. Alexander, 1818-95 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her baby
In a manger for his bed:
Mary was that Mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little Child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all,
And his shelter was a stable,
And his cradle was a stall:
With the poor and mean and lowly,
Lived on earth our Saviour holy.
3 And through all his wondrous childhood
Day by day like us he grew,
He was little, weak, and helpless,
Tears and smiles like us he knew:
And he feeleth for our sadness,
And he shareth in our gladness.
4 And our eyes at last shall see him
Through his own redeeming love,
For that Child so dear and gentle,
Is our Lord in heaven above:
And he leads his children on
To the place where he is gone.
5 *Not in that poor lowly stable,
With the oxen standing by,
We shall we see him: but in heaven,
Set at God's right hand on high,
Where like stars his children crowned,
All in white shall wait around. Topics: Procession; The Christian Year Christmas; Mothering Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY
Once in royal David's city
There is a green hill far away
Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander, 1818-95 Hymnal: NEH1985 #92 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Mrs. C. F. Alexander, 1818-95 Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away,
Without a city wall,
Where the dear Lord was crucified
Who died to save us all.
2 We may not know, we cannot tell
What pains he had to bear,
But we believe it was for us
He hung and suffered there.
3 He died that we might be forgiven,
He died to make us good;
That we might go at last to heaven,
Saved by his precious blood.
4 There was no other good enough
To pay the price of sin;
He only could unlock the gate
Of heaven, and let us in.
5 O dearly, dearly has he loved,
And we must love him too,
And trust in his redeeming blood,
And try his works to do.

There is a green hill far away
The eternal gates lift up their heads
Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander, 1818-95 Hymnal: NEH1985 #133 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Mrs. C. F. Alexander, 1818-95 Lyrics: 1 The eternal gates lift up their heads,
The doors are opened wide,
The King of glory is gone up
Unto his Father's side.
2 And ever on our earthly path
A gleam of glory lies,
A light still breaks behind the cloud
That veils thee from our eyes.
3 Lift up our hearts, lift up our minds,
And let thy grace be given,
That, while we live on earth below,
Our treasure be in heaven;
4 That, where thou art at God's right hand,
Our hope, our love may be:
Dwell in us now, that we may dwell
For evermore in thee. Topics: The Christian Year Ascensiontide Languages: English Tune Title: CRUCIS VICTORIA
