Behold what witnesses unseen

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 17 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12 Lyrics: 1 Behold what witnesses unseen encompass us around, who, once like us, with suffering tried, but now with glory crowned. 2 Let us, with zeal like theirs inspired, begin the Christian race, and, freed from each encumbering weight, their holy footsteps trace. 3 Behold a witness nobler still, who trod affliction's path, Jesus, at once the finisher and author of our faith. 4 He for the joy before him set, so generous was his love, endured the cross, despised the shame, and now he reigns above. 5 Then let our hearts no more despond, our hands be weak no more; still let us trust our Father's love, his wisdom still adore.

Refrain: Keep moving on the way, Let us ever keep moving on the way, Keep moving on the way, Let us ever keep moving on the way. 2 Oh, this secret of progressing, is a consolation deep, For this earthly life will never, never pay, If we lay aside our duties and resign our eyes to sleep, And forget to keep moving on the way.

Refrain: Jerusalem, my blissful home, Long has my soul repined for thee; I’ll sing thy praise forevermore, Blest mother of the pure and free. 2 This holy new Jerusalem Came down from God all pure; In her the Lord doth dwell with men, And keep them evermore. Thou art the mother of us all, Thou art the church of God; And all within thy sacred wall Are washed in Jesus’ blood. [Refrain] 3 The Lamb of God Himself thy light, Shines out in crystal rays; We call thy walls salvation bright, And all thy gates are praise. O city of eternal truth, Blest mother of the free, As in the glory of thy youth, The saints have come to thee.
