O raise your eyes on high and see
The church of God a kingdom is
Author: L. B. C. L. Muirhead, 1845-1925 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 23 hymnals Hymnal Title: Common Praise Lyrics: 1 The church of God a kingdom is,
where Christ in power doth reign;
where spirits yearn till, seen in bliss,
their Lord shall come again.
2 Glad companies of saints possess
this church below, above;
and God’s perpetual calm doth bless
their paradise of love.
3 An altar stands within the shrine
whereon, once sacrificed,
is set, immaculate, divine,
the Lamb of God, the Christ.
4 There rich and poor, from countless lands,
praise God on mystic rood;
there nations reach forth holy hands
to take God’s holy food.
5 There pure life-giving streams o’erflow
the sower’s garden-ground;
and faith and hope fair blossoms show,
and fruits of love abound.
6 O King, O Christ, this endless grace
to us and all men bring,
to see the vision of thy face
in joy, O Christ, our King. Topics: Holy Communion; Proper 16 Year B Scripture: 1 John 3:2 Used With Tune: CREDITON

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 235 hymnals Hymnal Title: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New Lyrics: 1 Come Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire,
let us thine influence prove;
source of the old prophetic fire,
fountain of life and love.
2 Come, Holy Ghost - for, moved by thee,
thy prophets wrote and spoke -
unlock the truth, thyself the key,
unseal the sacred book.
3 Expand thy wings, celestial Dove,
brood o'er our nature's night;
on our disordered spirits move,
and let there now be light.
4 God, through himself, we then shall know,
if thou within us shine;
and sound, with all thy saints below,
the depths of love divine. Topics: Year A Baptism of Christ; Year A Second Sunday Before Lent; Year A Pentecost; Year B Baptism of Christ; Year C Baptism of Christ; Year C Proper 24; Confirmation; Gradual Hymn; Pentecost Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:16 Used With Tune: CREDITON

O raise your eyes on high and see
Hark the glad sound! the Saviour comes
Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #277 (2005) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) Lyrics: 1 Hark the glad sound! the Saviour comes,
the Saviour promised long:
let every heart exult with joy,
and every voice with song!
2 He comes, the prisoners to relieve,
in Satan's bondage held;
the gates of brass before him burst,
the iron fetters yield.
3 He comes the broken hearts to bind,
the bleeding souls to cure;
and with the treasures of his grace
to enrich the humble poor.
4 The sacred year has now revolved,
accepted of the Lord,
when heaven's high promise is fulfilled,
and Israel is restored.
5 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,
thy welcome shall proclaim;
and heaven's exalted arches ring
with thy most honoured name. Topics: Christ Incarnate Promise of the Messiah; Freedom and Liberation Scripture: Isaiah 61:1-3 Languages: English Tune Title: CREDITON
Hark the glad sound! the Saviour comes

Small Church Music
Editors: Isaac Watts Description:
The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling
to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid
1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of
this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset
of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano
with organ versions. All recordings are in MP3 format.
Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per
month.
The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse.
Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) (see http://scm-audacity.weebly.com for more information) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo
and pitch to suit their local needs.
Copyright notice: Rev. Clyde McLennan, performer in this collection, has assigned his performer rights in this collection to Hymnary.org. Non-commercial use of these recordings is permitted. For permission to use them for any other purposes, please contact manager@hymnary.org.
