Jerusalem the Golden

Author: Bernard of Cluny; John M. Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 922 hymnals First Line: Jerusalem, the golden Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden, With milk and honey blest, Beneath your contemplation Sink heart and voice oppressed. I know not, oh, I know not, What social joys are there, What radiancy of glory, What bliss beyond compare. 2 They stand, those halls of Zion, Conjubilant with song And bright with many an angel And all the martyr throng. The prince is ever in them; The daylight is serene; The pastures of the blessed Are decked in glorious sheen. 3 There is the throne of David, And there, from care released, The shout of those who triumph, The song of those who feast. And they, who with their leader Have conquered in the fight, Forever and forever Are clad in robes of white. 4 Oh, sweet and blessed country, The home of God's elect! Oh, sweet and blessed country, That eager hearts expect! In mercy, Jesus, bring us To that dear land of rest! You are, with God the Father And Spirit, ever blest.

The Heavens Declare Your Glory

Author: Thomas R. Birks Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 58 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The heavens declare your glory, the firmament your power; day unto day the story repeats from hour to hour. Night unto night replying, proclaims in every land, O Lord, with voice undying, the wonders of your hand. 2 The sun with royal splendor goes forth to chant your praise, and moonbeams soft and tender their gentler anthem raise. O'er every tribe and nation the music is outpoured, the song of all creation to you, creation's Lord. 3 All heaven on high rejoices to do its Maker's will; the stars with solemn voices resound your praises still. So let my whole behavior, each thought, each deed I do, be, Lord, my strength, my Savior, a ceaseless song to you.

O Day of Rest and Gladness

Author: C. Woodsworth, 1807-85 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 821 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, O balm of care and sadness, Most beautiful, most bright; On thee the high and lowly, Before th'eternal throne, Sing, "Holy, holy, holy," To the great Three in One. 2 On thee at the Creation The light first had its birth; On thee for our salvation Christ rose from depth of earth; On thee our Lord victorious The Spirit sent from heav'n; And thus on thee, most glorious, A three-fold light was giv'n. 3 Thou art a cooling fountain In life's dry, dreary sand; From thee, like Nebo's mountain, We view our Promised Land; A day of sweet reflection, A day of holy love, A day of resurrection From earth to things above. 4 Today on weary nations The heav'nly manna falls; To holy convocations The silver trumpet calls, Where Gospel-light is glowing With pure and radiant beams And living water flowing With soul-refreshing streams. 5 New graces ever gaining From this our day of rest, We reach the rest remaining To spirits of the blest. To Holy Ghost be praises, To Father, and to Son; The Church her voice upraises To Thee, blest Three in One. Topics: Christian Freedom; Trinity 17 Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

Rejoice, rejoice, believers!

Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 332 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, rejoice, believers! And let your lights appear; The evening is advancing, And darker night is near. The Bridegroom is arising, And soon he will draw nigh; Up! pray, and watch, and wrestle! At midnight comes the cry. 2 See that your lights are burning; Replenish them with oil; Look now for your salvation, The end of sin and toil. The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the Bridegroom near, Go meet him as he cometh, With alleluias clear. 3 O wise and holy virgins, Now raise your voices higher, Till in your jubilations Ye meet the angel choir. The marriage-feast is waiting, The gates wide open stand; Up, up, ye heirs of glory! The Bridegroom is at hand. 4 Our hope and expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, thou Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The days of earth's redemption, And ever be with thee! Amen. Used With Tune: ZOAN
