Author: Frederick W. Faber Meter: 11.10.11.10.9.11 Appears in 625 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! hark, my soul! Angelic songs are swelling O’er earth’s green fields, and ocean’s wave-beat shore: How sweet the truth those blessed strains are telling Of that new life when sin shall be no more. Angels of Jesus, Angels of light, Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night. 2 Onward we go, for still we hear them singing, 'Come, weary souls, for Jesus bids you come;' And through the dark, its echoes sweetly ringing, The music of the gospel leads us home. Angels of Jesus, Angels of light, Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night. 3 Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing, The voice of Jesus sounds o’er land and sea, And laden souls, by thousands meekly stealing, Kind Shepherd, turn their weary steps to Thee. Angels of Jesus, Angels of light, Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night. 4 Rest comes at length: though life be long and dreary, The day must dawn, and darksome night be past; Faith’s journeys end in welcome to the weary, And heaven, the heart’s true home, will come at last. Angels of Jesus, Angels of light, Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night. 5 Angels, sing on! your faithful watches keeping; Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above; Till morning’s joy shall end the night of weeping, And life’s long shadows break in cloudless love. Angels of Jesus, Angels of light, Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night.

Fully absolved through these I am, From sin and fear, from guilt and shame. 3 The holy, meek, unspotted Lamb, Who from the Father's bosom came, Who died for me, sin to atone, Now as my Lord and God I own. 4 Lord, I believe Thy precious blood, Which at the mercy-seat of God For ever doth for sinners plead, For me, e'en for my soul was shed. 5 Lord, I believe, were sinners more Than sands upon the ocean shore, Thou hast for all a ransom paid, For all a full atonement made. 6 When from the dust of death I rise To claim my mansion in the skies, Even then this shall be all my plea,-- Jesus hath lived, and died for me!

Ten thousand times ten thousand

Author: Henry Alford Appears in 439 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ten thousand times ten thousand, In sparkling raiment bright, The armies of the ransomed saints Throng up the steeps of light: 'Tis finished! all is finished, Their fight with death and sin: Fling open wide the golden gates, And let the victors in. 2 What rush of Hallelujahs Fills all the earth and sky! What ringing of a thousand harps Bespeaks the triumph nigh! O day for which creation And all its tribes were made; O joy, for all its former woes A thousand-fold repaid! 3 O then what raptured greetings On Canaan's happy shore; What knitting severed friendships up, Where partings are no more! Then eyes with joy shall sparkle, That brimmed with tears of late; Orphans no longer fatherless, Nor widows desolate. 4 Bring near Thy great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain; Fill up the roll of Thine elect, Then take Thy power and reign: Appear, Desire of nations, Thine exiles long for home; Show in the heavens Thy promised sign; Thou Prince and Savior, come!

O Lord, turn not Thy face away

Author: J. Marckant Appears in 51 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, turn not Thy face away From them that lowly lie, Lamenting sore their sinful life, With tears and bitter cry. Thy mercy gates are open wide To them that mourn their sin; O shut them not against us, Lord, But let us enter in. 2 We need not to confess our fault, For surely Thou canst tell; What we have done, and what we are, Thou knowest very well. Wherefore, to beg and to entreat, With tears we come to Thee, As children that have done amiss Fall at their father's knee. 3 And need we, then, O Lord, repeat The blessing which we crave, When Thou dost know, before we speak, The thing that we would have? Mercy, O Lord, we mercy ask, This is the total sum; For mercy, Lord, is all our prayer; O let Thy mercy come!
